Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has announced the appointment of Prof Stephen Thomas as chair of Emergency Medicine.
Prof Thomas joins HMC from The University of Oklahoma’s School of Medicine, where he held the positions of George Kaiser Family Foundation professor and chair for the Department of Emergency Medicine since 2009, as well as other academic positions.
Previously, Prof Thomas held several senior positions with Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, one of the world’s most respected medical institutions.
“Emergency medicine is a vital element of any healthcare service and HMC is clear that it is a top priority. It is essential to have strong and experienced leadership in this area and Prof Thomas’s vast experience will enable the organisation to deliver the best possible emergency medical care to the people of Qatar,” HMC said in a statement.
Prof Thomas said that he was very much looking forward to starting his new role as the chair of Emergency Medicine for HMC. “It is an exciting time to be joining Hamad; the unprecedented growth in Qatar’s population will result in ever increasing pressures on emergency care,” he said.
“In addition, it is a time of growth and expansion for HMC, as the organisation looks to the future, and I am looking forward to the challenges and opportunities this presents as well as being part of the development of the academic health system for Qatar. There are already really strong foundations in place at Hamad, so I am aiming to build on these to ensure we are able to provide the best possible emergency medical care to every patient who needs us,” he added.
