Bio
Michael Brown, MD, MSc, is chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at MSU College of Human Medicine.
After graduating from the college in 1986, Dr. Brown completed his EM residency training at Butterworth Hospital where he subsequently joined the faculty. During this period, he developed a passion for summarizing research evidence in a form useful to clinicians, an interest that led to a Master of Science degree in epidemiology with a focus on evidence synthesis (i.e., meta-analysis).
Dr. Brown has shared his expertise teaching evidence-based medicine concepts to medical students and engaged in knowledge translation at the national level by serving in many roles; such as lead editor for the Annals of Emergency Medicine Systematic Review Snapshot series, past chair for the American College of Emergency Physicians Clinical Policies Committee and leader on the American Board of Emergency Medicine New Advances Panel.
Dr. Brown currently serves on the editorial board for Cochrane, and as the editor for Cochrane Evidence Synthesis and Methods. Based on these accomplishments, Dr. Brown is the recipient of the American College of Emergency Physicians 2026 “James D. Mills Outstanding Contribution” to Emergency Medicine Award.
