Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that, as of November 2, Daniel J. Egan, MD, MBA, will join us as professor and chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and chief of Emergency Medicine at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH).
In addition to the department's role in undergraduate clerkship education, residency, and fellowship training, it staffs the physicians in the Emergency Department at RWJUH, one of only three Level 1 Trauma Centers accredited by the state, and a regional leader in emergency response and trauma care that handles more than 80,000 adult emergency visits each year.
A Northern New Jersey native, Dr. Egan is returning to our area after more than six years in Boston, where he serves as the vice chair of education in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Mass General Brigham and associate professor of emergency medicine at Harvard Medical School. He was the program director of the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency Program at Brigham and Women's and Massachusetts General Hospitals for five years.
A nationally recognized leader in emergency medicine education, Dr. Egan has more than 20 years' experience in academic emergency medicine and has held educational leadership roles in several departments of emergency medicine, including Mount Sinai Morningside/Mount Sinai West, New York University, and Columbia University Medical Center, where he was the inaugural vice chair of education.
Dr. Egan's national leadership experience includes serving on the Board of Directors of the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine (CORD) for five years and in numerous committee positions in CORD and the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine. He is also an oral board examiner for the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
A respected national and international speaker with more than 50 peer-reviewed publications to his credit, Dr. Egan currently serves as editor-in-chief of Emergency Medicine Practice and a decision editor for Academic Emergency Medicine Education and Training. He is also an ad hoc reviewer for numerous peer-reviewed journals and the co-author of Blueprints Emergency Medicine, co-editor of Essential Emergency Trauma, and editor-in-chief of the Manual of Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat Emergencies.
Dr. Egan earned his bachelor's degree summa cum laude from The College of New Jersey and his medical degree from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He completed his training at the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency at Mass General Brigham, where he also served as chief resident. Dr. Egan completed an Advanced Certificate in Adult Learning and Leadership in Medical Education at Columbia University's Teachers College and a Master of Business Administration degree with a concentration in Medical Management from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
We would like to thank Christopher Bryczkowski, MD, for his dedication and work as interim chair of the department and chief of Emergency Medicine at the hospital since October 2025. We are pleased that he will continue to lead the Division of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound.
Thank you also to the members of the search committee and to Keith P. Lewis, RPh, MD, vice dean and chair of the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, who led the group. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Egan to the Rutgers and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital family!
