Hello

Terrell J. Swanson, MD, FAWM is an Emergency Medicine (EM) physician who has been practicing EM full-time for over 16 years. He currently works in freestanding Emergency Departments (EDs) in both urban and rural areas.  He is board certified with the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) and also holds a Fellowship in the Academy of Wilderness Medicine (FAWM) with a specialization in subjects such as hypothermia, frostbite, heat stroke, altitude illness, and animal attacks/envenomations. He is also currently a candidate for a Diploma in Dive & Marine Medicine (DiDMM) with a further focus on dive injuries and marine medicine.

He earned his medical degree (MD) at the University of Oklahoma and completed his EM residency at the University of Florida - Jacksonville, a designated level 1 trauma center, which is the highest designation for trauma centers for the most critical trauma patients. He has worked for several years in a variety of settings such as trauma centers, academic institutions, community settings, freestanding EDs as well as rural hospitals. Additionally, he served as a faculty member at an EM residency program for 2 years and has given 29 lectures to EM residents, including 9 lectures on wilderness medicine.

Dr. Swanson has 2 publications, one on ozone toxicity and another on hereditary angioedema. Lastly, he is the co-inventor of a novel endotracheal device (RSI Prime, LLC; patent pending) that incorporates an adapted carbon dioxide detector with a modified bougie (an adjunct for difficult airways). As such, this endeavor has led him to extensively research literature regarding the bougie, giving me a deep and thorough knowledge of the bougie.

He has experience with writing expert witness reports that are detailed yet succinct, well-formatted and easy to understand, as well as testifying as an expert in depositions and in trial. He is available for consultation, chart review, deposition, and testimony for plaintiff or defense. A copy of his CV is available upon request, as are legal references. Serving all states.
