Roger Chirurgi, M.D., FACEP, Changes Uniforms, Never the Mission

For More Than 40 Years, Dr. Chirurgi has Answered the Call to Serve

Roger Chirurgi, M.D., FACEP, has spent his life changing uniforms, but never his mission. Whether protecting, healing, teaching, or mentoring, service has remained constant in his life. As chair and associate professor of the Department of Emergency Medicine at New York Medical College (NYMC), he draws on decades of experience in public service, emergency medicine, and medical education to prepare medical students and residents for the challenges of caring for patients when every second counts.
