About Michael Cohen
Seeking new opportunities and a future of working in an Emergency Medicine. An emergency responder by training - I am a hardworking, compassionate, experienced healthcare worker with a background working with a critically-injured and ill patient population in the ER. I thrive on adrenaline, genuine human connections, and positive energy. Most of my experience is in an Emergency Room (ER) setting, I also volunteered on the Trauma Resuscitation Unit (TRU) at UMMC R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. Before getting into medicine, I worked in the film industry, doing special effects make-up/hair/prosthetics and various other crew work. My production resume includes: HBO\'s \"The Wire\",\"He\'s Just Not That Into You\", and \"Step Up 2: The Streets\", among dozens of other film projects.
