Eric Maniago, MD (he/him)
What do you think ESEMP brings to the EM community?
"This is rural medicine at its best! Four sites with four different flavors. We are the only emergency care available to the entire mid-shore. Huge catchment area means lots of pathology. And while it is certainly rural emergency medicine (challenging, yet rewarding work), we have the advantage of being part of a quaternary care system in UMMS.
And the best part of the 'Land of Pleasant Living' is that we are only an hour away from the DC and Baltimore. So, it is easy to take advantage of the trappings of metropolitan life and still get to enjoy the peace and tranquility of life on the eastern shore."
With MEMN since 2010

David Zamara, MD (he/him)
What is your philosophy on patient care?
"There are a few things in our life that are guaranteed, and unfortunately one of them is an emergency medical situation. In our Emergency Department, we recognize that every patient that comes through our door is someone’s family member, friend, or loved one. While providing quality medical care is always our standard, we also strive to treat everyone with respect, compassion, and dignity that they deserve while trusting us to care for their emergent medical needs. "
With MEMN since 2016
