About
Dr. Swisher has been a nocturnist for more than two decades at Mercy Philadelphia Hospital, which is associated with the Drexel Emergency Medicine Residency Program. Her plans for an academic career were radically altered when her daughter developed a malignant brain tumor and the resection surgery neurologically devastated her child. Since that life-changing event, resilience has become a personal and professional passion. She is Vice Chair of the Resilience Committee for CORD (Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors) as well as the AAEM Wellness & Burnout Committee. In addition, she is a professional member of the American Association of Suicidology, and has been the point person for the first National Physician Suicide Awareness Day on September 17, 2018.
