DARREN BRAUDE, M.D. MPH, EMT-P Dept. of Emergency Medicine	ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MEDICAL DIRECTOR, PHI AIR MEDICAL of NEW MEXICO DIRECTOR, AIR MEDICAL TRANSPORT FELLOWSHIP Co-DIRECTOR, NATIONAL PROCEDURAL SEDATION  COURSE Co-DIRECTOR, EMERGENCY AIRWAY TRAINING PROGRAM   Med School: New York Medical College MPH: New York Medical College Residency: UCSF - Fresno Medical Education Program Interests: airway, procedural sedation, spinal immobilization, antiemetics, EMS/Air Medical   I arrived in New Mexico in 2000 after spending 3 months working for the Himalayan Rescue Association in Nepal.  I chose New Mexico for its unique combination of outstanding residents, down-to-earth but highly productive faculty, endless academic opportunities and a beautiful outdoor environment.  I was fortunate enough to meet my wife Stacia, a photojournalist, here in New Mexico.  We live in the Village of Corrales with our menagerie: cat, dog, horses and chickens.  My hobbies include hiking, telemark skiing, raising and training horses, martial arts, tennis, flying, travel and above all else, eating.    Back         Return to Top        EM Home
JUDITH BRILLMAN, M.D. Dept. of  Emergency Medicine	PROFESSOR ASSISTANT DEAN, GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION Director, Faculty Development Med School: University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine Residency: University of Arizona Fellowship: Computer Medicine Fellowship, University of Pittsburgh Interests: Infectious disease, education and triage. I first became interested in the Southwest during a two month community medicine medical school elective in Tuba City, Arizona. After finishing Emergency Medicine residency at the University of Arizona in 1985, I was on the Emergency medicine faculty at Stanford University. There I was instrumental in designing the residency program.  However, I wanted to leave Stanford politics and urban sprawl. Attracted by Albuquerque's weather and beauty and the wonderful reputation of this department, we relocated in January, 1989, and I became the Clinical Director of the Emergency Department. After being clinical director for three years, I gave that up to become Medical Director for Lifeguard Air Emergency Services. For seven years I was the residency director which provided me with some of my greatest satisfactions, challenges and sleepless nights of my career.  It was very gratifying to work with such superb residents.  However, looking for new challenges, I stepped down as residency director to do more research and other graduate medical education activities.  In the coming years I will be responsible for faculty development in our department. My areas of interest are infectious disease, syndromic surveillance and triage.  I have edited two editions of “Infectious Disease in Emergency Medicine.” My interests in infectious disease and syndromic surveillance have resulted in a number of activities, many of them involving syndromic surveillance for Bio-terrorism related illness.  I implemented a computerized surveillance program through emergency departments which identified anomalies in patient presentations indicating potential epidemics. I have 2 daughters, Ruth 14, and Eve 11 and one cat. We enjoy many things about New Mexico, including the blue sunny sky, the shimmering light, and the proximity of the mountains for hiking and skiing.  As a “recovering” Philadelphian, I could never move back east.   Back         Return to Top        EM Home
JEFFERY BULLARD-BERENT, M.D. Dept. of Emergency Medicine	ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR Medical Director,  Pediatric Emergency DEPARTMENT Assistant Residency Director Med School: Wayne State University, School of Medicine, MI Residency: Pediatric Residency-LAC-USC, Los Angeles, CA Interests: I am a Pediatric Emergency doc who has practiced in a variety of settings prior to joining UNM in 2002. I've practiced general pediatrics and Pediatric Emergency Medicine in California, Oregon, Nevada, Michigan, and finally New Mexico.  I'm incredibly lucky to really love what I do.  I see it as a privilege to take care of other people's kids, and like to insure that its done right.   Working with residents and medical students keeps me from getting intellectually lazy and forces me to re-evaluate how and why I manage patients in every day.  Currently I am the Medical Director of Pediatric Emergency Medicine and the Assistant Residency Director.  I am very interested in continuous quality improvement, and medical simulation.   As I watched my wife go thru med school and residency, I became acutely aware of how students and residents are often denigrated and vowed to never fall into that practice.  I was fortunate to find an entire Emergency Medicine Department that has embraced that view.       Continue Next Page Back          Return to Top        EM Home
