No Mixed Signals Breaking Down ERAS Signaling with the CORD Application Process Improvement

Applying to Emergency Medicine (EM) in the Match this year? Advising medical students who are applying? Confused about signals? Let this webinar help you!

Signaling was introduced for EM applicants in the 2022-2023 match cycle as a way for applicants to show preference for certain programs in their application list. As our specialty adapts to this new part of the application, guidance for how to use these signals has evolved on a yearly basis. This RAMS-sponsored webinar aims to explain the background on signaling and to give medical students and advisors best practices for use of signals in the 2024-2025 application cycle. Members from the CORD board will be present to answer your questions!

    • Emily A. Cloessner, MD, MSPH

      Washington University in St Louis

      Dr. Ly Cloessner is a current PGY-3 at Washington University in Saint Louis. Dr. Cloessner's path to emergency medicine (EM) began with a career in public health and public service, driven by a deep-seated commitment to giving back to the community. This ethos naturally led her to the field of EM, where practitioners care for anyone, regardless of condition or time of day. Her dedication to serving others has also guided her involvement with the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM), where she seeks to make a positive impact within the EM community.

      Dr. Cloessner attended her first SAEM meeting as a first-year resident (PGY-1), where she discovered a wealth of mentorship, networking opportunities, education, and career guidance. These resources have been instrumental in her residency journey and as she prepares for fellowship. She earned her medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina and completed her undergraduate studies at the College of Charleston. Her academic interests include POCUS, development of emergency medicine systems in resource-limited settings, and public health, particulary infectious disease management.
