Beta Sigma Gamma Honor Society Award for my accomplishments during my MBA program.
I believe that AACEM can best serve its members and the profession by being strategic vocal advocates for the advancement of our specialty. I believe the organization must be bold and outspoken to share our value and importance in the house of medicine and for our patients. We must be diligent and strategic in our approach sharing our voice and talents to move our specialty forward. It is my belief that personal connections matter and assuring that each of the Chairs in ACCEM feel they have a safe place to share challenges, make connections, and gain advice are important ways that AACEM can continue to serve members. I would like to see personal outreach to members that we rarely hear from on our list serve to engage them more in the wonderful community that is AACEM. I would work diligently to see our specialty again rise to one of the most desirable specialties for medical students entering residency programs across the county. Medical education is my passion and my love for emergency medicine is something I would bring to the board with my commitment to dedicate my time and talents to do everything I can to assure that our specialty thrives. If I am elected to this position, I promise that I will serve the organization to the best of my ability to advance our specialty and support my fellow chairs and those desiring to be chairs. -

I completed a four year emergency medicine residency at Brown University. After two years as EM faculty, I started a three year post-doctoral research fellowship at the Center of Gerontology and Health Care Research (AHRQ T32 funded) at the Brown School of Public Health.

I am currently the geriatric faculty champion for our health system, which cares for 280,000 ED patients per year. In this role, I am liaison with the division of geriatrics and palliative care and have championed several initiatives. These include leading a multidisciplinary group of stakeholders to develop a new state-wide nursing home to ED transfer form, implementing informatics solutions to improve safe prescribing for older adults, and creating a Nurse Innovators in Aging program to encourage ED nurses to obtain their gerontology certification. I have held a GEMSSTAR and currently hold a BEESON grant to test a fall prevention intervention, GAPcare. I have been an active leader within SAEM since I was a resident and served as the EMRA research committee vice chair and chair. As faculty I have been a member of AWAEM and served as didactics committee co-chair for two years and subsequently as the VP of Education. I am currently the Treasurer for AGEM and this role has given me an opportunity to focus on our AGEM priorities and work closer with the executive committee.
