Congratulations to the 2nd of 4 Residency Alumni to have received the NY ACEP Unsung Hero Award! Dr. Suven Cooper is a 2022 EM Residency Alumnus and came to the U of R from The University of Vermont Medical School.
Upon completion of residency, Dr. Cooper became an attending physician and Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Richmond University Medical Center in Staten Island, NY.
Dr. Cooper is constantly thinking and looking for ways to improve their emergency department, provides feedback on how to manage patients, and move them through their department. He is quick to make sure others in the department are recognized for the good work they do on a regular basis. He organizes activities outside the department focused on wellness. In organizing these activities, he takes care to make sure all in the department are invited.
Dr. Cooper is the first to get up when a trauma comes in the department. He is the first colleague to check in whenever another provider has a critical patient. In difficult encounters or patients that need de-escalation, his voice is often the voice of reason that settles the department and returns us to an environment of care.
Dr. Cooper - you make us so proud! You are an amazing physician, colleague and human being. We are proud to say that you trained in our program!
Dr. Cooper has a personality that is warm, inviting, and calm. He joined our institution three years ago and within days became a favorite of our nurses, PA’s. and fellow attendings. He is constantly thinking and looking for ways to improve our department, providing feedback...
