# SPOTLIGHT: Rett Embrey, MD - Chairman, Inova Mount Vernon Hospital

Will you be attending ACEP15 in Boston? If so, make time to come by **Booth #715** and meet Dr. Rett Embrey, of **[Commonwealth Emergency Physicians - Mount Vernon](https://www.emrecruits.com/commonwealth-emergency-physicians-leesburg-virginia).** He will be available to speak with you face-to-face and discuss the emergency physician openings at Inova Mount Vernon Hospital. 

**Dont' Wait! **Schedule your time today by emailing a copy of your CV to [CEP@EMrecruits.com](mailto:CEP@EMrecruits.com). 

## **Rett Embrey, MD**

**Undergraduate:** Baylor University**   
Medical School:** Creighton University  
**Residency:** Thomas Jefferson University  
**Residency Specialty:** Emergency Medicine

**Current Position:** ED Chairman, Inova Mount Vernon Hospital and Inova Lorton Healthplex

**What is you favorite pastime outside of the emergency department?**  
I enjoy running and biking.

**Who gave you your best career advice? What was it?**  
An attending at Jefferson encouraged me to pace myself in order to avoid burnout. 

**What's the most exciting thing on the horizon? Personal or Professional.**  
We are in the process of building a brand **[new ED at Inova Mount Vernon Hospital](https://www.emrecruits.com/blog/inova-mount-vernon-hospital-on-the-rise-saving-lives)**.

**If you were just starting your residency now, what would you do differently?**  
I would focus on business related ventures, as well as focusing more on patient satisfaction.

**How will things change in emergency medicine during the next decade?**  
I think there will continue to be a shortage of good ED trained providers, so there will be even higher use of APPs. I feel telemedicine use will greatly expand.

**Most awkward encounter with a patient.**  
Always around the rectal foreign body.
