Raphael Gershon MD

  • Department of Anesthesiology
    Professor

Head shot of Raphael Gershon

Overview

Dr. Raphael Gershon is the Chief of Anesthesiology, VP of Medical Affairs/Deputy Chief of Staff, Medical Director of Perioperative Services (Grady Memorial Hospital) and Director of Governmental Affairs (Emory University). His interests include trauma anesthesia and anesthesia for high risk obstetrics.

Education

Degrees

  • MBA from Goizueta School of Business; Emory University
  • BS from University of Maryland
  • MD from University of Maryland

Research

Focus

  • Over the years, much of my personal research focus centered on the specific disease entities of HIV infection and cocaine abuse, and their impact on anesthesia care during parturition, especially in terms of coagulation status. These publications have been sighted extensively throughout the Anesthesia literature world. I have also studied and published on diminished opioid/local anesthetic requirements during regional analgesia and anesthesia secondary to the pregnant patients elevation in intrathecal progesterone.
