Dr. Gabriel Wardi completed his undergraduate and graduate education in Atlanta. He moved to San Diego for his residency in Emergency Medicine where he served as chief resident during his final year of residency. He is the first graduate of the joint Critical Care Medicine fellowship offered by the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care and Department of Emergency Medicine. He joined the faculty in July 2017 and attends in both the emergency department and the ICUs at UCSD as an associate professor and founding Chief of the Division of Critical Care within the Department of Emergency Medicine. Dr. Wardi’s research interests include sepsis, the ED-ICU interface, resuscitation, cardiac arrest management, and use of machine-learning to improve patient-centered outcomes. He is currently funded by the NIH to study how big data and machine-learning can improve outcomes of sepsis patients. He oversaw the clinical implementation of a novel deep-learning model to predict sepsis at UC San Diego Health, which resulted in a 17% relative decrease in sepsis-related mortality. He has received various awards for teaching and mentoring and has been selected as a "Top Doctor" in San Diego multiple times.
