Dustin Williams, MD

I earned my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science from Texas A&M University, followed by my medical degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center-San Antonio, and completed my Emergency Medicine residency at Indiana University. Since joining the faculty at UT-Southwestern Medical Center in 2011, I have served in various leadership roles, including Assistant Program Director and now Program Director for our Emergency Medicine training program at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas. My current rank is Associate Professor.

My decade-long involvement with SAEM demonstrates my unwavering dedication to service and leadership within the organization. Over the years, I have actively contributed to various committees, including the Education Committee (2013–2014), Faculty Development Committee (2014–present), and Membership Committee (2021–present). As a longstanding and engaged member of ADIEM, I was deeply honored to receive the ADIEM Outstanding Academician Award in 2024. Currently, I serve as Chair of the Membership Committee and previously held the role of Chair for the ADIEM LGBTQIA+ Subcommittee (2021–2023).

Serving on the SAEM Nominating Committee is an opportunity to give back to an organization that has helped profoundly shape my professional journey. I am dedicated to thoughtfully identifying and recruiting candidates who truly embody SAEM's values and vision, ensuring they are equipped to lead and inspire the future of academic EM.

I understand the importance of recruiting candidates who are not only qualified but also represent the diverse viewpoints of our members and that demonstrate a passion for advancing emergency medicine and serving SAEM’s mission. With my experience in leadership, mentorship, and organizational involvement, I am well-prepared to contribute meaningfully to the Nominating Committee and would appreciate your support for this position.

I am eager to continue serving SAEM by helping to shape its future leadership and celebrating the accomplishments of our members, working together to ensure the continued success of our amazing organization.
