Assistant Chief of Service
![]() | M. Vaughn Emerson, M.D. M. Vaughn Emerson was born and raised in Seattle, WA. following graduation from the prestigious Harvard University, Vaughn sought to bolster his curriculum vitae with a medical degree from the equally-renowned Yale University. But that was not enough for this ambitious youngster—for him, when it came to residency, it was Hopkins or bust. Following his extraordinarily educational and spiritually rejuvenating stint as a retina fellow of the Casey Eye Institute in Portland, OR, he returns to the hallowed halls of the Wilmer Eye Institute, brandishing his motto, "if it doesn’t look good on my CV, I won’t do it." Of course, this is a joke--as everyone knows, his only reason for agreeing to the Chief year was the Wilmer skit. That, and a dedication to resident education and patient care. His hobbies include running and taking photos of himself in various places wearing an afro wig. |
