Kai
Stürmann, M.D., is an accomplished physician and teacher
in Emergency Medicine. As Program Director for the
Residency Program in Emergency Medicine at one of
New York's finest hospitals, Beth Israel Medical Center,
he is well-known for his ability to communicate complex
matters to students while in high-pressure situations.
This dedication to quality teaching makes Dr. Stürmann
an effective leader and mentor, and he serves proudly
as Associate Chair of the Emergency Department of Beth
Israel Medical Center.
Dr.
Stürmann's career in Emergency Medicine began as an attending
physician in the Emergency Department of Beth Israel Medical
Center in 1986. He was appointed Director of Medical Education
for the department in 1988 and later that year, together
with Elliot Smith, M.D., proposed a new residency training
program to be based at Beth Israel Medical Center. The
successful application founded the Mount Sinai School
of Medicine Integrated Residency Program in Emergency
Medicine and has since become one of the top EM training
programs in the country. Since then, Dr. Stürmann
has
also developed two other programs - the Albert Einstein
College of Medicine Program (AECOM) at Beth Israel for
which he currently serves as Program Director, as well
as a combined training program in Emergency Medicine and
Internal Medicine.
Dr.
Stürmann's aptitude for explaining complex medical situations
to both professional and non-professionals has served
him well in the legal cases that he has contributed to
as an independent expert. He regularly testifies in the
field of Emergency Medicine for both plaintiff and defense.
Before it was disbanded in 1991, he was a physician member
of the New York State Supreme Court Malpractice Review
Panel where he examined cases for standards of treatment
and physician actions and ethics.
In
his attending physician responsibilities at Beth Israel,
Dr. Stürmann is a certified Sex Assualt Forensic Examiner
and takes an active part in the hospital's Sexual Assault
Survivor Examiner/Advocate Program.
