J. Kirk Edwards, MD
Assistant Professor
Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology
Emory University
Since joining faculty at Emory in 2013, I have developed several different focus areas. Germane to this conference is my operations and quality work, with emphasis on process improvement and cross-departmental project collaboration. Similarly, I work with our cardiothoracic surgeon colleagues to co-manage adverse events. In these spheres, the collegiate atmosphere of respect between physician departments at Emory has been key to our mutual success. My second focus area is education, and as an anesthesiology residency associate program director I manage our clinical base year and PGY-2 onboarding, in addition to mentoring senior residents and teaching fellows. I also lecture intra/extra-institutionally about medical malpractice and the legal infrastructure. Finally, I am involved with the school of medicine and physician group diversity, equity, & inclusion teams, advocating on behalf of the LGBTQ+ medical community.
