Donald R. Herdt

Donald R. Herdt, MD, MBA serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, with clinical practice at University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) in location S11D04. His expertise centers on critical care medicine following specialized fellowship training at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

His academic preparation includes:

• B.S. in Chemistry, University of Louisville (2006-2010)
• M.D., University of Louisville School of Medicine (2011-2016)
• M.B.A., University of Louisville College of Business (2014-2016)
• Internship, Johns Hopkins Hospital (2016-2017)
• Residency in Anesthesiology, Johns Hopkins Hospital (2017-2020)
• Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine, Johns Hopkins Hospital (2020-2021)

Research interests span anesthesiology, critical care medicine, and medical education, reflecting his dual-degree background. Early work examined nickel-thiolate oxygenation kinetics relevant to superoxide dismutase enzymes, while surgical training yielded clinical studies on breast augmentation techniques and skin graft management. Current investigations focus on optimizing critical care protocols and patient outcomes in intensive care settings.

Publication trends reveal a distinct progression from basic science (2011 biochemistry) through clinical surgical research (2013-2014 plastic surgery) to present anesthesiology specialization. The most recent works address surgical complications and cosmetic outcomes, while earlier publications explore fundamental biochemical mechanisms.
