2013 ACEP NATIONAL JUNIOR FACULTY TEACHING

AWARD RECIPIENTS

Pratik Doshi, MD Faculty and residents agree that

he is our “genius in residence” who mentors everyone about

how to best care for our sickest patients. As a result, our

residents often ask aloud, “What would Doshi do?” when faced with a challenging critically ill

patient. Pratik has the ability to take very complex concepts,

distill them down to their essential elements, and impart this information such that his

learners understand, retain, and effectively utilize this

information when caring for patients.

Meghan's capacity as an educator influences our entire program. When Meghan works clinically her joy of caring for patients and the teaching of

EM with our without US transforms the environment around her. Other faculty are

excellence for all to emulate.

our residency program.

The impact Dr. McDowell has made on our

just a job for Dr. McDowell, but a true

calling.
