Stuart P. Swadron, MD, FACEP, was born and raised in Canada and is a graduate of the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine.

He has been involved with research and curriculum development for learners at all levels, from the most junior undergraduate students to the most seasoned practitioners. He has lectured and taught across the United States and throughout the world, and his voice is a familiar one on popular emergency medicine podcasts.
Dr. Swadron currently serves as an Editor-in-Chief of CorePendium, an on-line reference for emergency and acute care medicine and is an Adjunct Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine and Medical Education at the Keck School of Medicine.
