Stephen H. Thomas, MD, MPH

After finishing the six-year MD program at Louisiana State University, Dr. Thomas moved to the University Medical Center of Eastern Carolina where he served as an Emergency Medicine resident and then an air medical fellow. After completing training in North Carolina, he moved to Boston where he joined the faculty at Harvard Medical School, working clinically at the Massachusetts General Hospital and assisting with medical direction at Boston MedFlight. He obtained a Master’s degree in Quantitative Methods at the Harvard School of Public Health, focusing his graduate studies in the realm of outcomes research in helicopter EMS (HEMS). During his time in Boston he became Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard, and Director of Academic Affairs for the MGH Department of Emergency Services.

In addition to his research and helicopter EMS activities he has been active in medical student and resident education. He has chaired the medical student education committee of the largest academic society in EM (Society for Academic Emergency Medicine), and was selected to membership in the Academy at Harvard Medical School (which membership is limited to the top 3-5% of educators at HMS). He was the first EM faculty member to receive the Wyman Teaching Award for Non-Medicine faculty from the MGH Residency in Internal Medicine. In 2000, he became the first chairman of the newly constituted Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Oklahoma; he is the Kaiser Foundation Professor & Chair of EM at OU.

Stephen H. Thomas, MD has stated that he has no financial interests or arrangements in association with this presentation.
