Emma G. Cortes, DO

I am a dual-specialty physician in emergency medicine and family medicine, global emergency medicine fellow at Brown University, and have been a part of GEMA as co-chair for the AI/AN committee and the SAEM program committee liaison. My goal is to continue to help GEMA be the premiere organization for education, collaboration, and support in global emergency medicine in a way that is equitable and accessible. I currently have initiatives to help promote GEMA among junior learners both through media engagement and through virtual educational sessions. I want to continue to advance these initiatives to help them grow, and to implement new initiatives as our relationship with Indian Health Services strengthens. I aim to increase our opportunities for research, education, and outreach within AI/AN communities and indigenous communities worldwide. I am running for this position of member-at-large because I strive to help GEMA keep its true principles in its mission to promote emergency medicine worldwide.
