Dr Emmanuel Ohuabunwa is an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine and a Health Equity Scholar at UT Southwestern, Dallas. He serves as the Treasurer and co-chair of the Educational Trust Committee for the Association of Nigerian Physicians in America, working to increase outreach and mentorship opportunities for students of Nigerian descent interested in medicine.

He was also awarded a certificate of congressional recognition by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee for community service and achieved the highest score in the entire residency on the national in-training exam while publishing papers in esteemed journals. Dr Ohuabunwa’s area of interest is health equity and advocacy. His most recent piece in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, titled “Say our Names. We are doctors too” aims to change the culture around names by tackling name-based microaggressions and the resultant differential use of formality in medicine. He plans to continue to work on such issues related to health equity at UT Southwestern.

Dr Ohuabunwa went on to attend Yale University where he completed a combined MD/MBA, on a full scholarship. In his spare time, Dr Ohuabunwa enjoys mentoring students, reading widely, cooking, and playing basketball. A native Houstonian, he is reluctantly adjusting to rooting for the Dallas sports teams.
