Photo by UCHealth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/provider\/kelly-bookman-md-emergency-medicine\/\">Kelly Bookman <\/a>was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, the answer was easy \u2013 a doctor. She loved math and science, and lined her room with her dad\u2019s medical books.\u00a0 The answer to the follow-up question, \u201cWhat kind of doctor?\u201d came pretty easily, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dad told me, \u2018Make sure you check all your options before making a decision. There\u2019s so much you can do as a doctor. Experience all the types of medicine,\u2019\u201d said Kelly. \u201cThe second I walked through the doors of the emergency department on my first rotation, it clicked with me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese were my people,\u201d she continued. \u201cAfter my first rotation, I always ended up migrating back to the emergency department. I think it\u2019s because emergency medicine is completely patient-centered and patient-focused, regardless of why a patient comes in. My dad taught me to think, \u2018What\u2019s the best thing for the patient in front of you right now?&#8217; \u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s pretty fitting, since Kelly\u2019s dad, Dr.\u00a0Larry Bookman, was a pioneer in developing emergency medicine.<\/p>\n<h3>Grad school or war?<\/h3>\n<p>In college, Larry didn\u2019t have a particular desire to go into medicine. He didn\u2019t have any family members in medicine. But that was during the Vietnam War, and going to grad school was important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had interests in biology and other sciences, and at the end of college, I had to make a decision,\u201d he said. \u201cShould I go to med school or should I go to war? Med school seemed like a good mix of science and people, so that\u2019s what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon completion of medical school at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcom.edu\/\">Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine<\/a>, Larry was drafted and served as a Naval flight surgeon. When he returned to the\u00a0States, he pursued an emergency medicine residency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was slated to go with internal medicine when I got home,\u201d recalled Larry, \u201cbut emergency medicine got hold of me. It was so obvious that there was a need to develop the specialty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Larry applied for and was accepted into the first emergency medicine residency class at Denver General Hospital, now Denver Health.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A new frontier and the next generation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13233\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13233\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13233 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/28071338\/Larry-Bookman-recent.jpgsized.webp\" alt=\"Dr. Larry Bookman\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/28071338\/Larry-Bookman-recent.jpgsized.webp 200w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/28071338\/Larry-Bookman-recent.jpgsized-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13233\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Larry Bookman. Photo by UCHealth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Larry eventually made his way to Steamboat Springs and Routt Memorial Hospital, and with him came a more formalized approach to emergency medicine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a clear opportunity to create an emergency management system in a small setting with big city models,\u201d he said. \u201cI could have gone into academics or administration, but this sort of thing suited me more. There was a need to develop this specialty, which was both fun and challenging at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no 911 system in Steamboat Springs and only EMTs, if that,\u201d added Kelly, recalling details she\u2019s heard many times. \u201cDad helped bring the emergency medicine voice to the hospital\u2019s administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Larry continued practicing medicine in Steamboat Springs, while moonlighting at Denver General Hospital, St. Anthony Hospital or Swedish Medical Center from time to time to keep his skills up to par. Meanwhile, Kelly was getting her\u00a0feet wet in the world of medicine. She completed medical school at University of Colorado Hospital, followed by residency in Chicago at Cook County Health and Hospitals System.<\/p>\n<p>On an emergency department rotation during medical school, Larry happened to be Kelly\u2019s attending physician.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t remember if that was good or bad, but I ended up learning a few things,\u201d said Kelly. \u201cAnd he bought pizza.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt must have been a tough night,\u201d joked Larry.<\/p>\n<p>Following residency, Kelly set her sights on the next step of her career.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly came back to the Front Range\u00a0right after residency and worked at a community hospital in Denver.\u00a0 \u201cI might have used my dad\u2019s influence to get a foot in the door back in the Denver region,\u201d she said coyly, \u201cbut it paid off. Ultimately, I knew academic medicine was where I wanted to be, so I asked Dr. Ben Honigman, then chair of University of Colorado Hospital and an accomplished emergency medicine professor, who I knew from when my father was in residency, if I could do a few shifts. After three months of part-time shifts, I was offered a full-time position.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Medicine then and now<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Larry continued his career at Routt Memorial Hospital as it transitioned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/uchealth-yampa-valley-medical-center\/\">Yampa Valley Medical Center <\/a>(YVMC), serving as director of emergency medicine and then as the hospital\u2019s chief medical officer before his retirement in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly is currently serving as medical director and associate professor for the Department of Emergency Medicine at University of Colorado\u2019s School of Medicine. She also serves as the senior medical director for the UCHealth Emergency Medicine Service Line, and is the interim chief medical officer for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/uchealth-broomfield-hospital\/\">UCHealth Broomfield <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/uchealth-grandview-hospital\/\">Grandview<\/a> Hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>Now that YVMC is part of the UCHealth family, it\u2019s a bit of a full circle with emergency medicine for the doctors Bookman.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13239\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13239 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/29065945\/bookman-photo.pngsized.webp\" alt=\"Drs.

It wasn\u2019t an easy thing to do. You didn\u2019t have the degree of back-up you have now with trauma centers. Patients have that now, though and that\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dad got the opportunity to create an EMS system where there was none, that\u2019s an opportunity I\u2019ll never get,\u201d said Kelly. \u201cToday, we train residents so they can have a sustainable life in emergency medicine while we teach them lifesaving skills and techniques. We\u2019re also teaching them to push the delivery of medicine to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelly said innovations in the realm of digital health and decision support bring new options to the delivery of health care. Thanks to technology advancements, information can be delivered to providers right at the point of care.<\/p>\n<p>As much as things have changed and continue to advance, Larry holds tight to one thing about emergency medicine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take care of the patients, regardless,\u201d he said. \u201cThe volumes might be different between now and when I first came to Steamboat and they\u2019re different between rural and urban settings, but aside from all that, emergency medicine is emergency medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Kelly Bookman was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, the answer was easy \u2013 a doctor.
