Adedamola Adeola Ogunniyi MD

Dr. Ogunniyi is an attending physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Harbor UCLA Medical Center, where she serves as the Director of the Process and Quality Improvement Program. She completed her residency training at Harbor-UCLA, after which she completed a fellowship in Global Health at the same institution, working on projects in rural South Sudan and in Amman, Jordan. As an Emergency and Disaster Care (EDC) fellow/consultant for the International Medical Corps (IMC) in South Sudan, she worked on a project focused on educating clinical staff on mass casualty incident management. In this role, she was involved in all aspects of project management including budget management, data collection/monitoring and evaluation (M&E), volunteer recruitment, and procurement.

She also served as the Clinic Management Consultant for IMC in Jordan as part of the Syrian refugee response. In this role, she was tasked with the development of a primary health care system at the Azraq refugee camp in Jordan and was involved with various aspects of administration (staff recruitment and supervision), logistics, finance, and coordination with key players from other aid agencies. Given her interests in healthcare systems and delivery outside the US, she also spent some time working as a House Officer (similar to a rotating intern) at the University College Hospital in Ibadan, Nigeria (one of the major tertiary care centers in the country) prior to residency.
