Dr. Adam C Levine is an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and Director of the Division of Global Emergency Medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. He received his Medical Doctorate from the University of California, San Francisco and his Masters of Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley before completing his specialty training in Emergency Medicine at the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency in Boston.
In recent years, Dr. Levine has responded to humanitarian emergencies in Haiti, Libya, South Sudan, and Liberia and has led research and training initiatives in South Asia, East Africa, and West Africa. He currently serves as the Director for the Humanitarian Innovation Initiative at Brown University, whose goals are to improve the quality and professionalize the delivery of humanitarian assistance worldwide, and as the Primary Investigator for the Global Emergency Response and Recovery Project for International Medical Corps, focused on improving international and local capacity for responding to future epidemics and pandemics. He also serves as Editor-in-chief for Academic Emergency Medicine's annual Global Emergency Medicine Literature Review. His own NIH and foundation-funded research focuses on improving the delivery of emergency care in resource-limited settings and during humanitarian emergencies.

My current research focuses on finding new tools for improving the diagnosis of dehydration and resuscitation of children with cholera and other severe diarrheal disease, specifically in the developing world. Dehydration from diarrhea kills over 700,000 children each year, mostly in developing countries. As the severity of the disease can vary widely, accurately assessing dehydration status remains a crucial step in preventing mortality from this disease. Unfortunately, the diagnostic tools available to physicians and other providers to assess the degree of dehydration in children with diarrhea are limited. I am interested in developing new clinical scales, specifically for assessment of children in the developing world, which can be used to accurately assess the degree of dehydration. In addition, I am interested in looking at how other tools, such as ultrasound of the inferior vena cava (IVC), can also be used to improve the diagnosis of dehydration in children. Eventually, these tools could improve the management of dehydration in children with diarrhea, leading to both more effective and more cost-effective care while reducing mortality from this disease.
In addition, I am currently leading an effort for International Medical Corps to analyze data on over 2000 patients managed in its Ebola Treatment Units in West Africa during the recent epidemic. The goal is to improve our understanding of the disease, find new ways of diagnosing and managing it, and improve our response to future epidemics.
I am also interested in the management of injuries in patients in the developing world and during humanitarian emergencies. I am working on projects with the Rwanda Ministry of Health and with Doctors Without Borders to identify acute trauma needs in low-income countries and to improve the management of patients with acute injuries during humanitarian emergencies.
