Lauren Diercks

Member-at-Large

University of Texas Southwestern

Ms. Lauren Diercks is a current fourth year medical student at UT Southwestern. Ms. Diercks will start her journey as a resident at Stanford Health Care in California, where she plans to focus on administration and operations.

Ms. Diercks has served on the Resident and Medical Student (RAMS) Board for two years as the Medical Student Representative, where she has made significant contributions to the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM). Her time on the RAMS Board has been marked by her advocacy for the member experience through her work on the Membership Committee and her efforts to foster increased medical student engagement in emergency medicine. She spearheaded an Emergency Medicine Interest Group (EMIG) survey and initiated the RAMS Regional Ambassador Program, a project designed to pair RAMS Board members with each of the SAEM regions. The aim of this program was to better support and advocate for the RAMS community, facilitate greater engagement among students interested in EM, and enhance the overall SAEM member experience.

Juliet Jacobson, MD

Member-at-Large

NewYork-Presbyterian Cornell & Columbia

Dr. Juliet Jacobson is a PGY-2 at NewYork-Presbyterian Cornell & Columbia. Before embarking on her medical career, Dr. Jacobson taught 6th-grade math and science in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. In her role as a teacher, Dr. Jacobson discovered that students often assumed she had a comprehensive understanding of their needs, while in reality, a disconnect often existed. Recognizing this, she made it her mission to create an open environment where students felt encouraged to share their thoughts, concerns, and needs. This dedication to fostering effective communication became a cornerstone of her educational philosophy.

Shortly after completing her teaching role, Dr. Jacobson began her journey through medical school at New York Medical College. Within just two months, she was elected to the school's curriculum committee, where she served as a liaison between students and faculty. Now in residency, Dr. Jacobson continues to demonstrate her commitment to medical education and learner support. She helps lead her residency's recruitment board, volunteers at college outreach programs, and mentors students at her alma mater. Her passion for medical education drives her to create tools and resources that can support learners not only during medical school and residency but throughout their entire medical careers.
