For five years, he has served as the chief perioperative medical director at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, where he oversees the management and operational efficiency of the operating rooms. In this capacity, Dr. Guertin has played a pivotal role in guiding the institution through significant expansion efforts, including the addition of new ambulatory sites and the development of a new hospital tower. His leadership extends to revamping preoperative and perioperative processes, most notably through the creation of ComPASS (Comprehensive Perianesthesia Systems and Solutions), which streamlines patient assessment and enhances surgical recovery.

Before these roles, from 2013 to 2022, Dr. Guertin served as the medical director of ambulatory surgical services at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, overseeing the growth of outpatient surgical capabilities and contributing to the institution's reputation for excellence in patient care. He was also an associate professor of anesthesiology on campus between 2013 and 2019. Earlier in his career, Dr. Guertin was a partner with Premier Anesthesiologists at The Ohio Surgery Center between 1998 and 2013, where he contributed to the center's growth and operational success.

Dr. Guertin credits his success to unwavering effort, innate ability and formative parental influence, particularly that of his mother, who was a nurse anesthetist, as well as continuous learning and guidance from executive coaches. Notably, his career trajectory was shaped by a personal experience with an injury during high school that resulted in an extended hospitalization and inspired him to pursue medicine.
