Professor and Co-Director, CVSICU
Johns Hopkins Hospital
Glenn J.R. Whitman, M.D. is a Professor of Surgery and currently the Co-Director of the Cardiovascular Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Head of Quality for the Division of Cardiac Surgery..
He trained under Dr. Alden Harken at the University of Colorado and, in the past, has been the Chief of Cardiac Surgery at the Denver VAH, The Medical College of Pennsylvania and the University of Maryland.
He was a member of the STS Workforce on Critical Care for several years, which he chaired before stepping down one year ago, to be replaced by Rakesh Arora, Chief of CT Surgery at the University of Manitoba.
He has been fascinated by extracorporeal life support and the physiology that it involves. Through his relationship with Dr. Sung-Min Cho, a neurocritical care physician and colleague at Johns Hopkins, he has learned a tremendous amount about the neurologic vulnerability of ECMO patients and the possibility of minimizing acute brain injury that results from that therapy.
