Board Member Spotlight—Dr. John Queen

Whether he’s instructing EM residents or coaching baseball, one of Dr. John Queen’s greatest passions is teaching. He is currently Assistant Residency Program Director at the Case Western Reserve University/MetroHealth Medical Center/Cleveland Clinic Foundation Emergency Medicine Residency Program. An accomplished instructor, he is now the Course Co-Director of the Ohio ACEP Oral Board Review course and was named Cleveland Clinic Emergency Medicine Teacher of the Year in 2006.

After receiving his undergraduate degree from John Carroll University, Dr. Queen studied medicine at The Ohio State University and went on to complete his IM/EM residency at the University Of Illinois College Of Medicine at Chicago.

Dr. Queen enjoys activities with his wife and kids, such as photography, fishing and hunting, as well as coaching softball, baseball and football. Even outside the arena of emergency medicine, Dr. Queen is a natural instructor. Each year, he does a heart dissection for the fifth graders at Maple Elementary School in Chardon. Pictured to the right, Dr. Queen prepares for one of these dissections alongside his son, who was a student that year. Elected in 2011, Dr. Queen is in his first term serving on the Ohio ACEP Board of Directors.
