In a 2014 ACEP Now article, ACEP’s ambassador to Ukraine Brian R. McMurray, MD, FACEP, FACP, described the tense and dangerous situation between Russia and Ukraine. “Ukrainians live in fear for their future as a free country,” wrote Dr. McMurray.
Dr. McMurray lives in Tennessee and is still serving as ACEP’s ambassador to Ukraine, having made 42 trips to the country since 1996. He’s become close with many members of its medical community as they worked together on lectures related to trauma, resuscitation, disaster response and more. He recently spoke with WKRN Nashville about how his heart breaks for his friends in Ukraine who have already been through so much.
Ways to Help Ukraine
ACEP does not organize direct disaster response, but the College and its International Section have extensive resources for physicians who work, or wish to work, in areas where coordinated response to disasters and crises is required across the world. View ACEP’s Global Conflict Resources to learn how to join an international medical response team and to find options for donating money or resources to Ukraine.
