2023 SAEMF ARMED Med Ed Pilot Grant - $25,000

"Building on Leadership and Diversity in EM (BOLD-EM): Investigating Program Impact"


We have developed a structured month-long program to engage medical students from diverse backgrounds to explore emergency medicine (EM). The program, Building on Leadership and Diversity in Emergency Medicine (BOLD-EM), allows students between their first and second year of training to explore the field of EM and EM subspecialties. This program has the potential benefit of recruiting and training more EM physicians and to serve as a model for other EM training programs. This mentored research grant is designed to investigate the program’s impact using mixed methodology.
