Biography

Megan Janeway, MD, is Assistant Professor of Surgery at the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine (CASM). After receiving her medical degree from CASM, she went to general surgery residency at Boston Medical Center (BMC). Dr. Janeway completed a fellowship in surgical critical care in the Department of Surgery at the University of Michigan in 2023 before being recruited back to BMC, where she is an attending surgeon in the section of Acute Care and Trauma Surgery and Surgical Critical Care. Her research spans the continuum from injury prevention and access to emergency surgical care through resuscitation and critical illness to post-hospital recovery, and particularly on high-risk and underserved populations whose outcomes reflect both biological and social determinants with the goal of translating findings into improved clinical practice, access to care, health-system interventions, and policy. She serves as the PI on multi-center clinical trials on emergency general surgery. Dr. Janeway is cofounder of the Socially Responsible Surgery group at CASM/BMC, which was formed in 2014 and is now a national organization, with chapters across the country.
