Anthony Macintyre, MD is a Board Certified
Emergency Physician and Associate Professor with The Department
of Emergency Medicine at The George Washington University. His
academic career has focused on medical emergency planning and
response at various levels. Dr. Macintyre has served as the
medical director for Fairfax County’s Urban Search and
Rescue team since 1995. His work with the team has involved
deployments to the bombing of the Murrah building in Oklahoma
City (1995), the bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi (1998),
the Pentagon terrorist attack (2001), and to several international
earthquakes. His most recent deployment involved response to
the devastating earthquake in Bam, Iran (2004) as part of the
US Agency for International Development (USAID) team. Dr. Macintyre
has assisted the Federal Emergency Management Agency (now part
of the Department of Homeland Security) in the restructuring
of the medical components of the Urban Search and Rescue System.
Dr. Macintyre’s work has also included
assisting other U.S. federal agencies with medical emergency
planning and response including the US Agency for International
Development/Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA),
the National Disaster Medical System now within the Department
of Homeland Security, the Department of State, the US Army Corps
of Engineers, and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(formerly US Customs Service).
He served as a medical advisor and a controller
for the bio-terrorism component of the federally sponsored exercise,
TOPOFF 2000 held in Denver, Colorado. More recently, he served
as an official observer of the Chicago, Illinois component of
TOPOFF 2003.
In 2002, Dr. Macintyre served as an assistant
investigator in the Sloan Foundation funded project to develop
the Medical and Health Incident Management system (MaHIMs).
This project provides a comprehensive, functionally-based model
for the response to and management of complex, large-scale medical
emergencies.
Dr. Macintyre was the co-developer of a mass
decontamination capability for the old George Washington University
Hospital (key concepts published in JAMA). In his capacity as
an emergency physician, he was instrumental in structuring the
hospital response to the 2001 anthrax dissemination event. Dr.
Macintyre has served for 6 years on the District of Columbia
Hospital Association (DCHA) Emergency Preparedness Committee
assisting with the development of a hospital community response
for Washington, D.C.
