Dr. Cherri D. Hobgood, associate dean for curriculum and educational development and associate professor of emergency medicine in UNC's School of Medicine, was recently elected chair of the board of directors of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). Hobgood, who has been a member of the board since 2004, will serve a one-year term as chair. She is the first woman ever elected to this position.
She was president of the North Carolina College of Emergency Physicians in 2002-2003 and was North Carolina's Emergency Physician of the Year in 2004. She led the efforts in North Carolina to ensure that health plans pay for services based on a patient's symptoms, not the final diagnosis.
Her educational intervention GRIEV_ING, designed to teach emergency physicians how to better deliver death notifications in the emergency department, is being nationally disseminated through a grant to the ACEP and Mothers Against Drunk Driving from the Office of Violent Crime.
Hobgood is a graduate of the UNC medical school and a Diplomat of the American Board of Emergency Medicine.
