PROVIDENCE – The Miriam Hospital announced the appointment of Dr. Ilse Jenouri as medical director of the Emergency Department, effective July 1. She succeeds Dr. Gary Bubly, who will assume the role of vice chair for clinical integration and innovation for University Emergency Medicine Foundation.
Jenouri, who completed her residency in emergency medicine with the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, joined the medical staff of The Miriam Hospital in 2002 as an attending physician. She has served as the Emergency Department’s associate medical director for the past six years.

“Dr. Jenouri is an outstanding clinician, educator and administrator, and is well-prepared to move into the medical director role,” Dr. Brian Zink, physician-in-chief of emergency medicine at Rhode Island, The Miriam and Newport hospitals, said in a statement. “She has served superbly as the associate medical director for the past six years.”
Calling Jenouri “a leader in our medical community,” Zink, who is also UEMF president, noted that she has served as co-chair of the Lifespan pharmacy and therapeutics committee, chair of Miriam’s emergency preparedness committee and as a member of the UEMF board of directors and its residency advisory committee. She has been an oral board examiner for the American Board of Emergency Medicine for the past 10 years.
“I am honored to be named the medical director of the ED of The Miriam,” said Jenouri. “Visits to the ED are at historic levels. People are drawn to The Miriam because of its top-notch medical expertise and the nurturing care they get from the entire staff. We will continue to work hard to maintain the high levels of quality that people have come to expect.”
Over the past six years, annual patient visits jumped nearly 20 percent and are projected to reach 70,000 in 2017, the hospital reported.
UEMF presented Jenouri with an “outstanding physician” award in 2013; and in 2009, she received a teaching recognition award from the Warren Alpert School of Medicine, where she is a clinical associate professor.
