David G. Beiser, MD, MS, is an emergency physician‑scientist whose work focuses on acute care clinical trials, clinical informatics, and medical education.
He directs the University of Chicago’s Emergency Trials Unit (ETU), which supports continuous support for multi‑center studies in cardiac arrest, traumatic brain injury, hemorrhagic shock, and other time‑sensitive clinical trials. He also serves as Principal Investigator for the NIH‑funded Mid‑America CTSA Consortium (MACC) SIREN Regional Clinical Center, a six‑institution network conducting large‑scale emergency care trials.
Dr. Beiser is board‑certified in Clinical Informatics and is core faculty for the University of Chicago Clinical Informatics Fellowship. His work integrates informatics and acute care research through the development of computer adaptive screening and diagnostic tools; digital health interventions, and machine‑learning approaches that analyze physiologic signals, patient audio‑video data, and clinical documentation to support real‑time decision‑making.
Within the Pritzker School of Medicine, Dr. Beiser serves as course director for the Phase I Cell & Organ Physiology course and chairs the institution’s Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education Task Force.
