Jared Erb

Jared D. Erb, DO, is an Emergency Medicine resident at Yale, where he is continuing to develop his interests in emergency medicine, disaster medicine, critical care, and systems-based emergency care. He earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (DO ’26), where he was actively involved in emergency and disaster medicine through clinical work, leadership, advocacy, and research.

Before being elected WADEM SYP-SIG Co-Chair, Jared served as president of his institution’s WADEM Student Chapter, helping organize educational programs that introduced medical students, nursing students, and other healthcare learners to disaster response principles and mass casualty preparedness. This work included planning and executing a full-scale multidisciplinary mass casualty incident exercise involving more than 150 participants, educators, and responders.

Prior to medical school, Jared worked as a paramedic, an experience that profoundly shaped his interest in emergency medicine, critical care, and disaster response. He has continued to build on that foundation through clinical training, leadership activities, and academic work focused on disaster preparedness education and the interface between emergency medical services and hospital-based care. His research interests have included mass casualty incident education and triage, hemorrhage control training, and austere and resource-limited care environments.

Outside of medicine, Jared remains active in leadership and event planning in both professional and community settings, including organizing large-scale public events in the Boston, Massachusetts region. His professional interests include disaster medicine, mass gatherings, emergency preparedness, prehospital systems of care, and the integration of emergency medical services with hospital and regional response systems.
