Dr. Daniel Egan Takes the Helm as Editor-in-Chief of Emergency Medicine Practice
On April 30, 2026, EB Medicine announced an important leadership change within its flagship publication, Emergency Medicine Practice, with the appointment of Dr. Daniel Egan as the new Editor-in-Chief. This transition marks a significant milestone for the organization and underlines its commitment to advancing evidence-based education in emergency medicine.
Dr. Egan is well-known in the field as a longtime contributor to EB Medicine and a dedicated leader in emergency medicine education. He officially assumed his new role on January 1, 2026, succeeding Dr. Andy Jagoda, who served as Editor-in-Chief for more than 20 years. Under Dr. Jagoda's leadership, Emergency Medicine Practice established itself as one of the most reputable and widely read publications in the discipline. He will now take on the role of Editor Emeritus to ensure a smooth transition and maintain editorial continuity.
Currently, Dr. Egan serves as Vice Chair of Education within the Department of Emergency Medicine at Mass General Brigham, alongside his position as Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. He has extensive experience, having previously been the Program Director for the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency Program and held the inaugural Vice Chair of Education position at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Throughout his journey at EB Medicine, Dr. Egan has exhibited a profound commitment to enhancing emergency medicine education. He joined the editorial board of Emergency Medicine Practice in 2016 and later took on the significant role of Course Director in 2019. His expertise was recognized when he was a co-author of the journal's 2018 Best Issue of the Year, which emphasized high standards of rigor, clarity, and clinical relevance in evidence-based medical education.
Stephanie Williford, CEO of EB Medicine, voiced her enthusiasm for Dr. Egan’s appointment, stating, "Dan is an exceptional choice to lead Emergency Medicine Practice into its next chapter. His editorial acumen combined with his educational leadership will greatly benefit our readers and help advance this vital resource."
Dr. Egan expressed his gratitude for this opportunity, saying, "It is a tremendous honor to step into this role. Emergency Medicine Practice has long been respected for its comprehensive, evidence-based reviews tailored to clinicians in the field. This high-quality content is essential, and I am eager to continue that mission."
Dr. Jagoda also shared his sentiments regarding the transition, stating, "Passing the baton to Dan feels exactly right. He embodies the editorial instincts and educational philosophy that this position requires, and I am confident in where he will take Emergency Medicine Practice."
Dr. Egan earned his medical degree from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and completed his residency at the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency Program, serving as chief resident. His extensive involvement in medical education includes serving as a member of the Board of Directors of the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine and serving as an oral examiner for the American Board of Emergency Medicine. He is also a co-author of significant publications including
Blueprints Emergency Medicine, and
Essential Emergency Trauma, and is the editor-in-chief of the
Manual of Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat Emergencies.
As Editor-in-Chief of Emergency Medicine Practice, Dr. Egan is poised to uphold the publication's integrity and its enduring commitment to disseminating peer-reviewed, evidence-based information. The transition represents not just a change in leadership but a continuation of a legacy aimed at supporting emergency medicine practitioners and the next generation of clinicians.
