Brandon C. Walsh, MD

I am a pulmonary and critical care physician with a focus in palliative care and bioethics.

After completing a graduate degree in bioethics from the University of Pennsylvania, I completed medical school, internal medicine residency, and pulmonary and critical care fellowship at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, where I was exposed to unprecedented critical care crises including Hurricane Sandy and surges in the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently I completed a second fellowship in hospice and palliative care at Mount Sinai to better facilitate goal-concordant care and conduct complex goals of care discussions near the end-of-life. I have a passion for bioethics, remain committed to incorporating my bioethical knowledge to further patient care, and have served on numerous hospital bioethics committees, taken leadership roles at the local and national level, and was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. I am also skilled in clinical ethics consultation and complex end-of-life discussions. My current research interests include understanding end-of-life decision-making for unrepresented patients and simulating resource allocation outcomes during crisis standards of care. This important work has led to publications, national presentations, and grant funding, including a recent CHEST Foundation grant.
