Venkatesh Bellamkonda, MD

I am a husband, father, physician, lifetime learner, and dreamer

This channel is not a representation of Mayo Clinic

To get to know me, is to know that I hold many roles, have a variety of relationships, and love to learn - as a result, I have an interest in a seemingly endless number of things: parenting, leadership, medicine, chess, gardening, sports, and so much more!

I am an attending or consultant physician specializing in emergency medicine. I currently serve as Chair of Education for the Mayo Clinic department of emergency medicine, have previously served as Chair of Quality Improvement & Patient Safety Section of the American College of Emergency Physicians, and previously the director of emergency ultrasound for Mayo Clinic's EDs in the past. 

Outside of the hospital, I am privileged to be a trophy husband to Dr. Erica Bellamkonda, who is a badass Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation physician. We have beautiful children who are our reason for living. Co-owner of B-Five LLC
