Andrew (Andy) Oh is a board-certified Emergency Medicine Physician and currently an active-duty Major in the US Army. He was born and raised in the Washington DC area, where he served as an Infantryman in the Virginia Army National Guard and on active duty at Fort Carson, Colorado and Ar Ramadi, Iraq. It was his combat deployment, as an Infantry Platoon Leader, that ultimately led Andy to pursue a career in Army Medicine. Andy completed his pre-medical course work, while serving as a ROTC Instructor at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst, and then attended the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, graduating with a Doctor of Medicine degree, and then completed an Emergency Medicine Residency at San Antonio Military Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
His subsequent assignments included the Battalion Surgeon/Health Officer at 1st Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), Okinawa, Japan, and the Commander of the 135th Forward Resuscitative and Surgical Team, South Korea. Having spent the last five years in Asia, he implemented a rapidly deployable, mobile damage control resuscitation package that was sent to eight different countries, in support of POTUS, VPOTUS, and Secretary of State, and a forward surgical team for “Transition to Hostilities” wartime contingency for the Republic of Korea. He has traveled to 11 different countries in East Asia at least once, in support of these VIP missions, training foreign military, and/or lecturing in pre-hospital trauma care.
Andy currently resides in Denver, Colorado, as a first-year Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellow at Children's Hospital Colorado. He is happily married and finds love/challenges daily as a father to 7-year-old and 5-year-old sons and recently adopted 2-year-old daughter. His interests include international travel, camping, and most outdoor activities.
