Biography
Dr Emmanuel Ohuabunwa is an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at UT Southwestern, Dallas. He recently completed residency at Yale EM during which he served on the board of various organizations including the African Research Academies for Women (ARA-W). In 2016, Dr Ohuabunwa and the rest of the executive board of ARA-W received the AmeriCorps Volunteer Service Award from President Barack Obama for their work in increasing female participation in research in Africa. In 2021, Dr Ohuabunwa was named on the 40 under 40 list by the New England Tri-state Urban Professionals Network. He was also awarded a certificate of congressional recognition by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee for community service and achieved the highest score in the entire residency on the national in-training exam while publishing papers in esteemed journals. Dr Ohuabunwa’s area of interest is health equity and advocacy. His most recent piece in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, titled “Say our Names. We are doctors too” aims to change the culture around names by tackling name-based microaggressions and the resultant differential use of formality in medicine. He plans to continue to work on such issues related to health equity at UT Southwestern.
Dr Ohuabunwa attended Johns Hopkins University on a full scholarship and graduated with a record 3.98 GPA in Neuroscience—a feat that made waves around the world and resulted in awards from various organizations including the “Scholar of the year Award” by the African Diaspora Organization; the “Top Nigerian-American Youth of the Year” by the Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans; and a congratulatory message from the president of Nigeria, His Excellency Goodluck Jonathan. Dr Ohuabunwa went on to attend Yale University where he completed a combined MD/MBA, on a full scholarship with a focus in behavioral economics.
In his spare time, Dr Ohuabunwa enjoys mentoring students, reading widely, cooking, and playing basketball. A native Houstonian, he is reluctantly adjusting to rooting for the Dallas sports teams.
