About
Emily Nelson
Dr. Nelson is an experienced anesthesiologist and clinical educator with fellowship training in regional anesthesia and palliative care. Dr Nelson attended the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She completed her anesthesia residency and regional fellowship training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. In her early career, she focused on regional anesthesia and global health. After 10 years in Boston, she moved with her family to Charleston to work as a clinician-educator at the Ralph H Johnson VA Medical Center and expand access to regional anesthesia for veterans. As she cared for more patients with cancer in the operating room, her interest in cancer pain management grew, which led her to a palliative care fellowship at MUSC. She currently splits her time between anesthesiology at the VA and palliative care at MUSC. Her interests include cancer pain management, palliative care in the perioperative setting and teaching palliative care communication techniques. She is committed to advancing medical education, multi-disciplinary collaboration, a patient-centered approach to care, and fostering compassionate care. Outside of work, she enjoys time with her husband and children, live music, running, cycling and exploring nature.
