Andrew M Milsten

Andrew M Milsten serves as Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at UMass Chan Medical School, specifically within the T.H. Chan School of Medicine and Division of EMS/Disaster. His work bridges clinical emergency medicine with large-scale disaster response systems.

His educational foundation includes a BA in Biology from Bucknell University, an MS in Emergency Health Services from the University of Maryland Baltimore, and an MD from George Washington University.

Milsten's research centers on disaster behavioral science and mass gathering medicine, with signature studies analyzing injury patterns at NHL/MLB games, marathons, and concerts. His recent work explores augmented reality applications for field procedures and ethical frameworks for hospital active shooter incidents. He has significantly contributed to disaster medicine standardization through the 2023 Model Core Content development.

Publication trends reveal a strategic evolution from foundational mass gathering epidemiology (2000-2010) toward behavioral disaster science and technological integration (2020-2024), primarily in Prehospital and Disaster Medicine and similar journals.

• Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians (FACEP)

Through his Division of EMS/Disaster affiliation, Milsten collaborates with national bodies like the National Association of EMS Physicians to shape position statements and resource documents. His research consistently informs operational guidelines for event medical planning and disaster response protocols.

He maintains active leadership in disaster medicine education and operational research within UMass Chan's emergency medicine infrastructure.
