Laura Oh, MD

My name is Laura Oh, and I am an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Emory University. After graduating from University of Michigan Medical School, I completed my residency at University of Virginia and an ultrasound fellowship at Carolinas Medical Center. My previous leadership experiences in POCUS include the creation and directorship of a four year vertically-integrated US curriculum at Loyola Medical School, serving as US Director of the Atlanta VA ED, and serving as Director of Residency Emergency Ultrasound at Emory University. In addition, I am the Principal Investigator of a Department of Defense (DoD) funded clinical trial studying the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in blunt abdominal trauma. My contributions to the Academy include co-chairing the SAEMMIES Research Awards Committee, mentoring researchers through the AEUS Grant Development Program, and creating content for SonoGames as a station lead for the last three years.

As a Member-at-Large I would focus on:

1) Building an inclusive culture where all members feel valued
2) Facilitating developmental and networking opportunities for fellows and junior faculty
3) Catalyzing grant funded research
4) Highlighting member accomplishments
5) Increasing the accessibility and visibility of the Academy’s work

As a longtime member of SAEM I have gained invaluable growth opportunities and mentorship that have shaped me both as an educator and a researcher. I would be honored to reinvest my experience into the Academy to support and guide the development of future ultrasound leaders.
