Albert B. Fiorello, MD, FAAEM, FACEP

Dr. Fiorello grew up in Buffalo, New York. After receiving his MD in 1995, he trekked across the country to for a residency in Tucson, and he quickly realized that snow is to visit and never shovel again. After residency, he joined the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service, working for the Indian Health Service, stationed in Sells, Arizona, on the Tohono O’odham reservation. During that time, he stayed on as part-time faculty with the Department of Emergency Medicine working at University Medical Center. After four years working with the IHS, he resigned his commission to pursue a full-time academic career. In 2002 he became the department’s first director for emergency ultrasound and in 2004 he became the associate program director for what is now the University Campus Emergency Medicine Residency Program. In 2011 he assumed the role of residency director.

He is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine, and is a member of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine, the Student National Medical Association, and an alumni member of the Emergency Medicine Resident’s Association. He is a senior oral boards examiner for the American Board of Emergency Medicine. He is active in local GME leadership, having chaired the hospital’s GME Committee for several years and currently chairs the GME Special Reviews Committee, and is a member of the GME Diversity Committee. He also serves on several hospital leadership committees including the Banner UMC Tucson Peer Review Committee, the Joint Claims Committee, the Banner Emergency Medicine Clinical Consensus Group, and is a member-at-large on the Banner UMC Tucson Medical Executive Committee.
