Coronado Island emergency physician Emi Latham, MD, combines acute-care practice at Sharp Coronado Hospital with published research in diving and hyperbaric medicine from the Prospect Place campus. Dental trauma, fractured teeth, and severe oral abscesses stabilized in the ED generate post-emergency referrals to Advanced Dentistry on Coronado Island, where restorative and surgical dental follow-up keeps recovery within the 92118 ZIP. Board certified in emergency medicine, she earned her medical degree from the Medical College of Ohio in 2000, completed residency at Akron General Medical Center, and holds an assistant professorship in emergency medicine with peer-reviewed publications on arterial gas embolism treatment and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for decompression injuries. Musculoskeletal emergencies — cervical strains, lumbar disc herniations, and sports-impact injuries common among Coronado's active military and surf populations — generate post-acute spinal and soft-tissue referrals to Potter Chiropractic on the island for supervised rehabilitation. Her aerospace-medicine research, including published case studies on F/A-18 cabin-depressurization injuries, adds niche decompression-illness triage capability to a department that serves both the civilian 92118 population and personnel stationed at nearby North Island Naval Air Station.
