The editors of Emergency and Primary Care of the Hand represent three distinct eras in emergency medicine. Dennis T. Uehara, MD, MSAM, FACEP, is one of the original educators on emergency care of hand injuries and continues to provide leadership through his teaching, writing, and clinical expertise. Dr. Uehara's mentoring and guidance led to a working relationship and friendship with Raymond G. Hart, MD, MPH, FACEP, that began in the early 1980s. Dr. Hart was initiated into the care of hand injuries in the late 1970s while working in the surgical suites of hand surgery pioneers Harold Kleinert and Joseph Kutz prior to medical school. Mary Jo Wagner, MD, FACEP, is a member of the new generation of dynamic emergency medicine educators and leaders. As a residency program director, Dr. Wagner ensures that the knowledge and experience gained by her generation are passed on to the next.
Dr. Hart is an assistant clinical professor at the University of Louisville School of Medicine and an emergency department attending physician at Veterans Administration Medical Center. Dr. Uehara is a clinical professor of surgery at the University of Illinois College of Medicine (Rockford) and chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Rockford Memorial Hospital. Dr. Wagner is program director of the Saginaw Cooperative Hospitals, Inc./Michigan State University emergency medicine residency and an associate professor at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.
