About Jonathan Rowland
Dr. Jonathan Rowland is an oncologic emergency medicine assistant professor at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. He completed medical school at UT SOM San Antonio, EM residency at WSU/DMC Sinai Grace Hospital, and an emergency ultrasound fellowship at UC Irvine. He has been exclusively working at MD Anderson's Acute Cancer Care Center since 2021, one of the nation's only dedicated oncologic ERs. Every single clinical shift, he is both delighted and horrified by the quantity of highly advanced pathology that he finds using his ultrasound at the bedside. In addition to setting up a point-of-care ultrasound program at MD Anderson, his other professional interest is learning more about cancer treatment so he gets fewer angry emails from other oncologists. In his spare time, he enjoys woodworking, fixing things around the house, and trying to be a good dad to his 4-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy.
