Ryan D. Pappal, MD, MSCI, NRP

President

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

My name is Ryan Pappal, and it is a pleasure to be running for RAMS Board President. Here is some brief background on myself as a candidate:

Current PGY-1 at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center - Three years experience on the RAMS Board as Medical Student Representative & Resident Member-at-Large, where I established the Resident Labor Task Force to advocate for our members’ working & training conditions - Academically-minded and focused on advancing the specialty of Emergency Medicine - Fierce defender of Medical Student and Resident interests in academic Emergency Medicine

Since getting involved in SAEM RAMS over 4 years ago, my experience has been a key highlight of my medical training. One of the first things that struck me was the warmth and connectedness of our members. When we work together as part of RAMS, I consistently see how strong of a voice we have as part of SAEM. Indeed, RAMS members are the future leaders in academic Emergency Medicine, and our input continues to grow in importance. As President, I would seek to elevate RAMS to new levels of recognition, engagement, and presence with medical students and residents in Emergency Medicine.

I, like many of you, have concerns about the future of academic Emergency Medicine, our specialty as a whole, and the health & functioning of trainees in our education system. Between workforce reports, concerns over declining EM applications, trainee burnout, challenging educational debts and other problems, academically-minded Emergency Medicine trainees deserve to have a strong, defining role in solving the problems facing us. To that end, as President I would commit to continuing and expanding my special focus on promoting RAMS members’ voices on critical issues facing Emergency Medicine and its trainees. Thank you very much for your time and consideration of my statement. It would be a pleasure to receive your vote for President of the RAMS Board!
