Brendan G. Carr is an American emergency physician,health services researcher,and academic health leader. He is Chief Executive Officer and the Kenneth L. Davis,MD,Distinguished Chair of the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City,and a Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.[1][2] He was previously Chair of Emergency Medicine for the Icahn School of Medicine and the Mount Sinai Health System and was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2020 for his contributions to emergency care systems and health policy.[3]
Carr's research focuses on how emergency care systems,trauma networks,and telehealth affect outcomes for patients with time-sensitive conditions such as trauma,stroke,sepsis,and cardiac arrest.[4][5] He is known for work on regionalized emergency care,trauma systems,and the use of telemedicine in disaster and pandemic response.[6]
He later joined Thomas Jefferson University as Professor and Vice Chair of Health Policy in the Department of Emergency Medicine,where he led a population science research group and served as Associate Dean for Healthcare Delivery Innovation.[11] His work there included evaluating innovations in care delivery,such as telehealth and “tele-triage”models to improve access and safety for patients and clinicians.[12]
Carr joined the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Mount Sinai Health System as Chair of Emergency Medicine,leading emergency care across the system and advancing research on emergency care delivery and telehealth.[13][3]
In 2024,he became Chief Executive Officer and the Kenneth L. Davis,MD,Distinguished Chair of the Mount Sinai Health System,while continuing as a professor of emergency medicine.[17][18] In this role he oversees strategy,operations,and business development for the system,including its hospitals,ambulatory network,and the Icahn School of Medicine.[19][20]
Research
Carr's research examines how emergency care system design and regionalization influence outcomes for patients with unplanned critical illness,including trauma,stroke,sepsis,and cardiac arrest.[4][8] His work has addressed trauma system planning for adults and children,emergency systems of care,and the use of population-based outcome measures to evaluate emergency care delivery.[21][6]
He is widely cited for work on telemedicine and emergency care,including a 2020 New England Journal of Medicine perspective on telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic.[22][23]
