After spending 12 years as the Director of the Division of Sports Medicine in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University, Dr. Raukar joined the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in 2018 as full time faculty. The combination of residency training in emergency medicine with further fellowship training in Primary Care Sports Medicine offers a unique perspective towards education, clinical medicine, legislation, and research.

She lectures nationally regarding the advancement of women in academic emergency medicine and is currently the Vice Chair for Education at the Academy for Women in Academic Emergency Medicine.

Within her academic department, she serves as the Departmental Co-Diversity Leader and she has created a structured program for residents at her own institution. The health of a community is improved by having leaders that can affect change and her goal is to develop women as a way to enrich the talent pool with highly qualified professionals.

She is dedicated to contributing to educating fellow physicians and the public as it relates to injuries and life-threatening diseases in athletes including sudden cardiac death, exertional heat illness, and head injury. She is also invested in research to improve outcomes in patients with these injuries. She is recognized nationally and internationally as an academician, teacher, researcher, and clinician.
