Navneet Cheema

Navneet Cheema serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Chicago. With extensive research spanning toxicology, emergency medicine, and medical education, Dr. Cheema focuses on critical areas including opioid epidemic response, resident wellness, and clinical toxicology protocols. Their work bridges clinical practice and educational innovation within emergency care settings.

Research interests prominently feature Toxicology (particularly acetaminophen toxicity, arthropod envenomation, and poison control systems), Emergency Medicine (burnout, administrative training, and diagnostic challenges), and Medical Education (curriculum development, student self-assessment, and wellness initiatives). Recent publications demonstrate strong engagement with the opioid crisis through naloxone distribution studies and resident-focused mental health research.

Analysis of publication trends reveals consistent focus on

• Toxicology interventions (35% of recent work)
• Resident wellness and burnout (25%)
• Medical education innovation (20%)
• Opioid epidemic response (15%)
• Clinical case diagnostics (5%)

Professional activities include active collaboration with the Emergency Medicine Education Research Alliance (EMERA) and significant co-authorship networks with researchers like Arora VM, Ahn J, and Olson AS. Dr. Cheema's work demonstrates continuous contribution to emergency medicine through both clinical research and educational leadership.
