Brendan Russell, MBA

AAAEM Secretary Candidate

Mass General Brigham

I currently serve as the Vice President of Enterprise Emergency Medicine for the Mass General Brigham health system in Boston, MA, where we are building an integrated enterprise emergency medicine service comprised of 2 academic medical center EDs, 7 community hospital EDs, and 1 specialty hospital ED. I hold an MBA from Boston College (’15) and am a graduate of the AAAEM CAEMA program (’21). For the past year, I’ve had the pleasure and the privilege to serve the AAAEM as a Member-at-Large of the Executive Committee, a member of the Finance Committee, a member of the Benchmark Committee, and for the past two years, as Vice Chair of the Education Committee. I’m proud of the work that we’ve done on these teams, and I am excited at the opportunities we have ahead of us as a specialty and as an academy. The AAAEM stands out among the various healthcare administration industry groups for its track record of providing relevant and actionable data, educational and professional development opportunities, and most importantly, a sense of community and camaraderie. It would be an honor to continue to serve our membership and build upon this strong foundation. Thank you for considering me for this opportunity. This is a challenging time for our specialty, and I want to do my best to ensure our members continue to have access to any and all resources to support their departments to the best of their abilities.
