Dr. Brousseau is the Chair of the American College of Emergency Physician’s Emergency Department Sickle Cell Care Coalition (EDSC3), whose goal is to improve the care of children with SCD across academic and community emergency departments, both pediatric and general. In addition to his sickle cell work, Dr. Brousseau has been an active member of the Pediatric Emergency Care
Applied Research Network (PECARN) including more than a decade as a member of the steering committee and two terms as Chair of the Feasibility and Budget subcommittee. He has over 120 publications, including first author publications in JAMA and Blood.
