Keith Henry is a confident and experienced academic emergency medicine physician. However, different than many academic docs, he started his post-residency career in community EM and returned to academics. He leads the Univ of Minnesota medical student emergency medicine rotation.  We had a great tour of his thoughts on the role and techniques of being a emergency medicine doc in this interview.
