Chris Reilly, MD

Hi, I’m Chris Reilly, a board-certified emergency medicine physician based in NYC. I serve as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine and as an Attending Physician at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. My journey began as a student-athlete during my undergraduate years at Johns Hopkins University. I went on to earn a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences at Drexel University, attended medical school at St. George’s University, and completed a three-year Emergency Medicine residency at HCA Florida Brandon Hospital in Tampa Bay. My passion for education led me to pursue a two-year medical education fellowship at Maimonides, during which I earned a Master’s in Health Professions Education (MHPE) from Massachusetts General Hospital. I also completed the Program for Educators in Health Professions at Harvard Medical School and the ACEP/CORD Teaching Fellowship.

My educational work focuses on creating engaging curricula, podcasting (EMRA*Cast and EM:RAP), and leveraging digital and AI technologies to enhance medical education for the next generation of learners. Additionally, I am the co-founder of RapidRads Medical Education, where we teach radiology to non-radiologists.In emergency medicine, my specific interests include electrocardiography, radiology (CTs and X-rays), and airway management. Outside of medical education, you’ll often find me playing live music, golfing, or spending quality time with family and friends.
