Congratulations to Dr. Corinne Hohl for being promoted to the rank of professor, with grant tenure, with the UBC Department of Emergency Medicine (DEM). The appointment will take effect immediately.
“Like so much of what we do in emergency medicine, research is a team sport. This promotion is really a testament to my clinical colleagues who have embraced research and innovation as part of what we do to improve clinical care, and to the Department of Emergency Medicine which has provided the support required for academics to be able to succeed.” said Dr. Hohl.
Dr. Hohl has been with the department since 2006. Her research interests include emergency medicine, drug safety and effectiveness, adverse drug event surveillance, COVID-19 and pandemic preparedness.
With her team, Dr. Hohl developed ActionADE, innovative software that enables hospital pharmacies to connect with all community pharmacies in the province. This precedent-setting software helps reduce adverse drug events (ADEs), the harmful and unintended consequences of medication. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she became the Chair of the Canadian COVID-19 Emergency Department Rapid Response Network (CCEDRRN) which grew to become the largest research network in the history of Canadian Emergency Medicine.
In addition to her role with UBC, Dr. Hohl is an emergency physician at Vancouver General Hospital, a scientist at the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation, and is a member of the Canadian Drug Safety and Effectiveness Research Network and the Canadian Network for Advanced Interdisciplinary Methods for Comparative Effectiveness Research.
Dr. Hohl is the recipient of the 2022 Ian Stiell Researcher of the Year Award from the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP) for her work with CCEDRRN during the pandemic to create the largest national research network in Emergency Medicine. In 2019, she was honoured with an Excellence in Early Career Mentorship Award by the UBC Faculty of Medicine for the guidance and support she has provided to trainees in Emergency Medicine and health research.
The University’s decision to promote a faculty member to the rank of professor is the product of a multi-leveled, rigorous review of performance by immediate colleagues and those within the larger University community. It represents one of the most important decisions made by the academic community at UBC as contributions to teaching, graduate supervision, service, and overall education leadership assist the University in meeting its vision as a globally influential university.
Congratulations to Dr. Hohl on her new appointment!
