Matthew Semler, MD, MSCI

Associate Professor of Medicine

Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
Matthew Semler
Professional Bio
Matthew W. Semler MD, MSCI, is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and an Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics. He is a critical care physician and Associate Director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit at VUMC. Dr. Semler received his Bachelors of Science and Medical Doctorate from the University of Virginia before completing residency and chief residency in internal medicine and fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Vanderbilt. His federally-funded research identifies non-patient-centered variation in current clinical practice, embeds pragmatic randomized trials into clinical care to understand which treatments produce the best outcomes for which patients, and implements the results into practice. Randomized trials he has helped lead, including eight published in the New England Journal of Medicine or JAMA, have challenged longstanding dogma around common practices in fluid management, airway management, and respiratory support. Dr. Semler serves as Chair of the Steering Committee for the Pragmatic Critical Care Research Group, Medical Director of the Center for Learning Healthcare in the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (VICTR), and a member of the Coordinating Center or Protocol Committee for multiple randomized trials through federally funded research networks.
