Horan, Michael J. [MC1967]
Staff Physician at Federal Reserve Board
Washington D.C. Metro Area
Medical Practice
Summary:
At Johns Hopkins I did an internship and two residencies, one in Internal Medicine and the other in Preventive Medicine/Public Health, through a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars fellowship. After a few years on Hopkins’ faculty, I spent the next several years at the NIH in cardiovascular medicine and research. I managed human and capitol resources to advance knowledge and insight into cardiovascular health and diseases. I planned and developed cardiovascular research initiatives for preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. This included the design, planning and monitoring of large, multi-site, clinical trials (TIMI, ACIP). I also authored publications on cardiovascular diseases and research; was the senior advisor to two NHLBI educational programs (National High Blood Pressure Education Program; National Heart Attack Alert Program); and authored multiple clinical practice guidelines (Heart Attack Alert, Hypertension, and Obesity).
Currently, I am the Staff Physician at the Federal Reserve Board. Among my responsibilities, I am in charge of developing protocols for the B in CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive) threats against the security of the Federal Reserve Board. However, the most satisfying aspect of my current work is sitting down with highly motivated outpatients–not under the insurance gun to greet, treat and street them quickly–but rather, to take time to tell them a story in which I integrate information from their history, physical exam and laboratory studies and give them preventive medical advice, oftentimes centering around dietary and exercise counseling, and if necessary, recommending additional diagnostic studies and/or medical therapies.
While I enjoy this work very much, it occupies only 60 % of my time. I am looking to compliment my current position with some consulting work, or if a full time exciting opportunity arose, I would certainly give that serious consideration.
