Dr. Terrell J Swanson
Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082
I am an Emergency Medicine (EM) physician and have been practicing EM full-time for over 16 years. I currently work in freestanding Emergency Departments (EDs) in both urban and rural areas, which are EDs not attached to a hospital. I am board certified with the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) and also hold a Fellowship in the Academy of Wilderness Medicine (FAWM) with a specialization on subjects such as hypothermia, frostbite, heat stroke, altitude illness, and animal attacks/envenomations. I am currently a candidate for a Diploma in Dive & Marine Medicine (DiDMM) with a further focus on dive injuries and marine medicine.
I earned my medical degree (MD) at the University of Oklahoma and completed my EM residency at the University of Florida - Jacksonville, a designated level 1 trauma center, which is the highest designation for trauma centers for the most critical trauma patients. I have worked for several years in a variety of settings such as trauma centers, academic institutions, community settings, freestanding EDs as well as rural hospitals. Additionally, I served as a faculty member at an EM residency program for 2 years and have given 29 lectures to EM residents, including 9 lectures on wilderness medicine.
I have 2 publications, one on ozone toxicity and another on hereditary angioedema. Lastly, I am the co-inventor of a novel endotracheal device (RSI Prime, LLC; patent pending) that incorporates an adapted carbon dioxide detector with a modified bougie (an adjunct for difficult airways). As such, this endeavor has led me to extensively research literature regarding the bougie, giving me a deep and thorough knowledge of the bougie. A copy of my CV is attached for reference.
I have experience with writing expert witness reports that are detailed yet succinct, well-formatted and easy to understand, as well as testifying as an expert in depositions and in trial. I am available for consultation, chart review, deposition, and testimony for plaintiff or defense. Serving all states.
