Nadarajan joins emergency medicine faculty

Annamalai Nadarajan Jr., M.D.
Annamalai Nadarajan Jr., M.D., has joined the University of South Alabama as an assistant professor of emergency medicine at the Whiddon College of Medicine.

Drawn to the specialty for its complex problem-solving and diverse patient population, Nadarajan began his training with a general surgery internship at USA Health before joining the inaugural class of USA’s Emergency Medicine Residency Program in 2019.

“I really enjoyed my residency experience,” he said. “As a member of the inaugural class, I had the unique opportunity to help shape the program, and I am amazed to see how much it has grown since I graduated.”

During residency, he was honored with the Resident Award for Outstanding Performance in Pediatric Emergency Medicine and the Golden Laryngoscope Award for excellence in performing and teaching emergency procedures.

Nadarajan completed an anesthesiology/critical care fellowship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Since graduating from fellowship, he has practiced critical care medicine at UAB St. Vincent’s East Hospital in Birmingham. 

With his return to USA as a faculty member, he looks forward to teaching and mentoring future emergency medicine residents.
