The Eclectic Doctor With Tactical Physician & Academic ER Physician, Jeremy Ackerman, MD, PhD

Health Careers With Dr. Marn

If you’re like most people, you would have heard of an ER physician, but you probably don’t have the slightest idea of what a tactical physician is. As it turns out, one of Dr. Richard Marn’s old friends and ex-roommates does both of these specialties. The super-smart Dr. Jeremy Ackerman has a lot of things that he is doing in his career and his life, but this episode focuses on two areas: his being an academic ER physician and being a tactical physician. Briefly defined, a tactical physician is someone whose job involves planning for assisting and analysis of the use of force in a tactical way. Learn how this specialty is helping police officers, soldiers keep in good shape to do the jobs that they are trained to do. Plus, learn about what an emergency physician’s job entails on a day-to-day basis, particularly one who is more on the academic side.
