Dr. Jeffrey Kline received his MD from the Medical College of Virginia, and then did an emergency medicine residency followed by a research fellowship the Carolinas Medical Center. He now serves as Associate Chair of Research and Brooks Bock Chair of emergency medicine at Wayne State University School of Medicine. He is the present Editor In Chief of Academic Emergency Medicine.
His diagnostic research interests focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of venous thromboembolism in the emergency care setting, and mentoring physician-scientists in emergency care. Kline created a decision rule to aid in the bedside exclusion of pulmonary embolism, known by emergency practitioners as the PERC rule for adults, and recently, children. His other primary research effort is the creation and oversight of the national Respiratory Virus Laboratory Emergency Department Network Surveillance (RESP-LENS), funded by the Centers for Disease Control (https://www.cdc.gov/surveillance/resp-lens/dashboard.html). A primary research goal of RESP-LENS is to determine the strength of association between acute viral infections with new or recurrent venous thromboembolism.
