Meet the Director and Team

Welcome from the Program Director

It is my pleasure to welcome you to our Department of Emergency Medicine's Residency Program at St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital. Having been part of this program for the past five years, I have had the opportunity to see this program grow. As a new program director, I am excited about the innovation, energy and devotion of the residency leadership. The residency program continues to grow and mature providing our resident graduates with outstanding career opportunities.

The program is fully accredited by the Residency Review Committee of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Residents completing the program are eligible for board certification in emergency medicine. We currently offer nine categorical emergency medicine positions.

We understand that choosing the right emergency medicine training program is one of the most important decisions you will make. Our program offers a family atmosphere and supportive learning environment. Our residents enjoy graded clinical responsibility and the opportunity to develop their teaching ability and skill by participating in the education of the medical students who call our facility home. All of this allows our residents to hone not only the basic skills of medical knowledge and patient care, but to develop the art of emergency department flow and interpersonal skills with other medical personnel.

Dr. Chad Donley, MD | Program Director Medical School: Northeastern Ohio Medical University Residency: The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH Dr. Donley is the program director and the chairman for the Department of Emergency Medicine for St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. His academic interest revolves around emergency medicine administration, ED quality and operational improvement, as well as improvements in resident education. Outside of academics and work, Dr. Donley enjoys anything that involves the great outdoors, playing with his two children and house renovations.

Dr. Jill Uberti, DO, FACOEP | Associate Program Director Medical School: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine Residency: St. Joseph Warren Hospital, Youngstown, OH Dr. Uberti is the associate program director for St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital Emergency Medicine Residency Program. Her academic interests are curriculum planning, resident wellness and patient interactions. When she is not teaching residents or working in the emergency department, she enjoys spending time at her lake house kayaking, reading books and running.

Core Faculty

Our faculty and staff are outstanding mentors and educators. All of our faculty leaders are actively practicing, hands-on clinicians who work alongside the residents in our emergency departments. Bedside clinical teaching coupled with clinical and educational expertise make our faculty some of the best. Several of our faculty are administrative leaders within our hospital system which further bolsters their educational strengths.
