I have two college-aged children and two younger

I like to run, swim, and hike but forget about rock climbing or mountain biking
– I’m too old for that.
I look forward to
welcoming you into our Emergency Medicine family.

PROFESSOR EMERITUS
THE GEORGE F. KEY, M.D. ENDOWED
Med School: University of California, Los Angeles
Residency: University of New Mexico, Internal Medicine
Interests: Backpacking, running, reading for pleasure, gardening, model
sailplanes, and woodworking.
I was born in La Puente, California, in the summer of 1946 and spent the early years of
my life on my grandfather's orange and avocado orchard. My father was in the Philippines
at the end of WWII and we didn't meet until after my first birthday. My father's parents
were Norwegian immigrants and my mother is descended from Eastern European Jewish stock. I
was the oldest of three boys and was good at sports, farm work, mathematics, and fixing
things.
Our family ran a small music equipment store and my brothers and I worked after school
and on weekends. I did well in high school academically and lettered in cross-country and
wrestling. College was at UCLA (BA, Philosophy '70) with 2 years out in the middle for the
Army. After medical school (UCLA '74) I was matched to New Mexico for my internal medicine
training, and after 4 years took a faculty position in our own Department of Emergency
Medicine.
My major publications have been in the areas of poisoning, trauma, foreign bodies,
dysrhythmias, and physical diagnosis. I will continue to sit on
the Editorial Board of the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. Now that I am
retired, I will be providing research support approximately one day a week for
selected UNM medical students and attend half-time at the VA. I have a long standing
personal commitment to medical care for the poor and to the State of New Mexico.
My wife, Matilda, and I have been happily married for 34
years and we have a 17 year old
boy, John, and an 12 year old girl, Elizabeth. Leisure time interests include backpacking,
running, reading for pleasure, gardening, model sailplanes, and woodworking.

ISAAC TAWIL, M.D.
Dept. of
Surgery/Emergency Medicine
|
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
Med School: Sackler School of Medicine: American
Program, Tel Aviv, Israel
Residency: Emergency Medicine, University of New Mexico Health Science
Center
Fellowship: Critical Care medicine, R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center,
Baltimore, MD
Interests:
Academic interests of mine include Traumatic
Brain Injury, Open Lung Ventilation, Brain Death and Organ Donation, Hemodynamic
monitoring strategies, and Resident Education.
I have lived and
practiced in New Mexico for about 5 years now and I love it. The patient
population is diverse and rewarding. The opportunities for research, medical
education and to push the boundaries of medicine to help our patients are
excellent. I am in a unique situation where I have the opportunity to practice
Intensive Care medicine both in our Trauma/ Surgical ICU and Neurosciences ICU
as well as continue my practice in the Emergency department. Bridging the gaps
between the various disciplines has been a challenging but fruitful endeavor. In
particular, it is my mission to instill in our Emergency Medicine training, the
paradigm that “Critical Care is a mindset; not a location” as I believe
Emergency Physicians need to be intensivists at heart.
When not at
work, I like to play hard in the mountains where my interests focus on climbing.
Some have said that my outdoor passion is pretty narrow, but I diversify to rock
climbing, ice climbing, aid climbing and mountaineering.
