David Haidar, MD
Education Officer Northwestern Medicine
Candidate Statement
Thank you for considering me for a position on the AEUS Executive Committee. I hope that as a member of this committee, I can help support the educational mission of ultrasound programs nationally by providing educational resources, growing the community through social media and the spotlight series, and providing mentorship to residents, fellows, and other early faculty members of AEUS. As Director of Resident Ultrasound Education and AEMUS Fellowship Director, I have experience mentoring both fellows and residents and have a strong interest in helping to develop a standardized national ultrasound curriculum for graduating EM residents.
Through AEUS, I hope to work with other leaders in ultrasound education to help achieve this vision, especially now that ABEM has moved to incorporate ultrasound education in its new certifying exam. I have been lucky enough to earn multiple education focused awards, including the AEUS Rising Star in Education Award, the SCUF Newbie Award, and a SAEMMIE for Best Broadscale Innovation. I have also served on multiple committees including the SCUF24 Planning Committee, AEUS Social Media and Awards Committee, SonoGames Creative Team as both a judge and question writer, and served as the CORD Academic Assembly Resident Track Chair as a resident and fellow. I hope that my experience on these national committees will help me better serve the AEUS community. Thank you so much for your consideration!
