Dr. Rotoli completed his Emergency Medicine Residency at the University at Buffalo from 2009-2012. He also served as Chief Resident from 2011-2012.

Dr. Rotoli is an attending emergency physician at the University of Rochester Medical Center/Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY. He is currently an Associate Emergency Medicine Residency Program Director. He also is the director of the Deaf Health Pathways humanities elective within the URMC medical school.

Dr. Rotoli is enthusiastic and dedicated to meeting the health needs of the deaf community. He learned American Sign Language in college at the University of Rochester and has used these skills to integrate into the local Deaf community. He has been involved with planning, fundraising, and lecturing at regional deaf health fairs. He has presented at the Rochester Club for the Deaf on a variety of health related and emergency care topics. Dr. Rotoli has also presented nationally on cultural humility when caring for a Deaf ASL user, disability advocacy, and requesting accommodations in a graduate medical setting.

I am an attending emergency physician and Associate professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC). I serve as the Associate Emergency Medicine Residency Program Director and direct the Deaf Health Pathways humanities elective at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. My research interests lie in addressing health disparities among marginalized populations, particularly Deaf American Sign Language (ASL) users. I am fluent in ASL and extensively involved in the Rochester Deaf community. I work with the Rochester community non-profit organization, Partners in Deaf Health, focused on promoting awareness of the healthcare needs of culturally Deaf individuals. Through my work, I have aimed to identify barriers to healthcare and clinical practices that may contribute to health disparities among Deaf individuals and develop innovative solutions that may reduce existing disparities. As the associate director of the residency program and the director of the Deaf Health Pathways elective, I have extensive experience mentoring medical students, residents, and researchers, particularly in topics related to Deaf health.
