Anita Chary, MD, PhD

I would like to serve AGEM as Treasurer in hopes of continuing to foster collaborations with other SAEM academies and other national organizations through co-sponsored programs and events. I have served on the AGEM Executive Committee for the last 4 years as Resident Member and Member-at-Large. During this time, I have collaborated with executive committee members of the Academy for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Medicine and the Academy for Academic Women in Emergency Medicine to hold webinars on mutually relevant topics, establish joint research projects, and attract diverse membership to AGEM. I have also worked with members of these groups, the Emergency Nurses' Association and the American Geriatrics Society to organize and lead workshops to promote inclusion of diverse older adults in emergency care research. As treasurer, I would highly support opportunities to subsidize trainees' participation in national conferences, geriatric EM away rotations, and AGEM mentoring events. I would also work closely with leaders of other national organizations to develop high-quality interdisciplinary programs to enrich the care we offer to older adults in the ED. I hold several administrative positions and have experience in grants management, which will lend to successfully managing the AGEM budget.
