Siamak Moayedi

Siamak Moayedi, MD, serves as Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He directs the medical student emergency medicine elective and clerkship at Mercy Medical Center while maintaining clinical practice at both Mercy Medical Center Emergency Department and the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center's Hyperbaric Medicine Department. His educational leadership extends to serving on the American Academy of Emergency Medicine Education Committee since 2015 and as Associate Editor for the 8th edition of Roberts and Hedges Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine.

His academic training includes:

• M.D. from University of Maryland School of Medicine (1998-2001)
• Emergency Medicine Residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (2001-2003)
• Chief Resident at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (2003-2004)

Dr. Moayedi's research focuses on medical education innovation, invasive procedure standardization, difficult intravenous access solutions, and emergency cardiac pacing techniques. He pioneered cadaver-based procedural training with over 4 million views across his digital platform, addressing critical gaps in emergency medicine education through evidence-based approaches to wound care, HIV management, and cardiac complications in special populations.

His recent publications (2021-2022) reveal three dominant trends: 1) Optimization of emergency procedures (transcutaneous pacing, perimortem C-section, difficult IV access), 2) Pandemic-related psychological impacts on healthcare workers (PTSD, insomnia, anxiety), and 3) Novel diagnostic approaches for rare emergencies (brachial artery pseudoaneurysms, uterocutaneous fistulas). These works consistently emphasize practical, clinically actionable solutions for time-sensitive scenarios.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Distinguished Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians Teaching Fellowship (2006-2007)

As primary developer of four major CME courses (CriticalProceduresinEM.com, ComplexProceduresinEM.com, EssentialProceduresinEM.com, PUGcourse.com), he has trained thousands of clinicians globally. His Medmastery.com courses have accumulated over 109,000 views, while his cadaver-based video library revolutionized procedural education. He additionally serves as Lead Preceptor for Introduction to Clinical Medicine and chairs the Procedure Lab for medical students.

Dr. Moayedi leads the Emergency Medicine Interest Group initiative and directs the UMEM oral board review program, creating integrated educational pathways from medical student training through board certification. His hyperbaric medicine work at Shock Trauma Center bridges emergency care with specialized dive medicine applications.
