Mitchell Clayton Veverka

Dr. Veverka is an Emergency Medicine physician at Duke University with a passion for translating novel medical technologies into real-world clinical impact. After completing his residency at Duke, he pursued a research fellowship and earned a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering, focusing on medical technology development and commercialization.

His academic interests lie at the intersection of clinical care and innovation; particularly in accelerating the journey from ideation to bedside implementation. His current work centers on augmenting history-taking to enhance triage and clinical decision-making, with the goal of supporting clinicians in delivering timely, high-quality emergency care. He is also exploring clinical applications of photoacoustic imaging, a promising modality for noninvasive vascular and tissue characterization.

Through this work, he aims to bridge engineering and clinical practice to improve diagnostic accuracy, streamline emergency workflows, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.
