A world renowned expert in his field, Dr. Brady has nearly 400 scholarly articles to his credit and has authored or edited 14 textbooks, mostly on resuscitation science, emergency medical services, and large scale disaster/special events medicine. Besides his roles as a professor, attending emergency room physician, chair of the University's resuscitation committee, and emergency preparedness and response medical director, Dr. Brady also serves as the medical director for several local Fire/EMS agencies and is known for showing up on emergency scenes to assist local EMTs and paramedics. The 2013 recipient of the David A. Harrison Distinguished Educator Award, Dr. Brady is a favorite among graduate medical students and residents alike, and is known for his openness, active approach to learning, and focus on physician mentorship.

8 THE ROLE OF THE SITE COORDINATOR

Site coordinators may be tasked with overseeing several different sites, depending on their job responsibilities.
