About Me
Debbie Madhok, MD is a Professor of Emergency Medicine and Director, Center for Innovation in Neurological Emergencies (CINE) at the Mount Sinai Hospital.
Dr. Madhok has developed a nationally recognized academic career at the intersection of emergency medicine and neurocritical care, with a sustained focus on improving the recognition, triage, and acute management of neurologic emergencies from the prehospital setting through the emergency department and intensive care unit. Her work has translated research into systems-level improvements in care, including development and implementation of the Mission Protocol for direct EMS-to-CT stroke evaluation and multidisciplinary protocols for status epilepticus, coma, and concussion, while her research program spans stroke, traumatic brain injury, cardiac arrest, neurologic biomarkers, and recovery after acute brain injury.
She has served as PI, site PI, and co-investigator on NIH/NINDS, Department of Defense, industry, and foundation-supported multicenter studies, including TRACK-TBI, POST-ICECAP, KESETT, and research examining neurologic causes of sudden cardiac death. Her broader impact extends through regional and national service in stroke and emergency neurological care, including service as Chair of the San Francisco EMS Agency Stroke Committee and Specialty Advisor for Neurology, and her role as American Heart Association Physician Medical Director for CAPCE EMS Accreditation.
As an educator and mentor, she has trained learners across emergency medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, and critical care, mentored trainees and junior faculty in research and career development, and received multiple institutional teaching honors, including UCSF's Academy of Medical Educators Excellence in Teaching Award, Emergency Medicine Faculty Member of the Year, and the Haile T. Debas Academy of Medical Educators Excellence in Mentoring Award. Collectively, these contributions demonstrate sustained local, regional, and national impact through the integration of clinical innovation, multidisciplinary research, education, mentorship, and health-system and professional service aimed at improving outcomes for patients with time-sensitive neurologic emergencies.
Dr. Madhok received her MD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, completed her residency in emergency medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, followed by a fellowship in neurocritical care at the University of Pennsylvania.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
