Dr Matt Lyon
Physician for the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University
Matt Lyon, MD, is a graduate of Georgia Institute of Technology (Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering), the Medical College of Georgia (MD, 1999), and residency in Emergency Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia (2003).
Through a federal grant, Dr. Lyon began a telemedicine program to aid rural emergency physicians in decreasing transfers to larger cities for time-sensitive treatments and supports the rural clinician in the performance of high-risk, low-volume procedures. The program has been expanded to include inpatient care (Tele-Critical Care) and now includes 16 rural hospitals across Georgia, supporting rural hospital viability and patient-centered care.
