As the last year of Medical School approaches and Residency applications are complete, I am extremely grateful to the physicians and future physicians I learned from and worked with through RAMS over the past three years. Being able to attend committee meetings, work on projects like the “Cold Feet” study, the Post-Dobbs Decision Landscape of EM didactic, the #StopTheStigmaEM campaign and paper, and the All-EM DEI Taskforce, always reminded me why I came to medical school in the first place. Before medical school I was an EMT, National Guard Healthcare Specialist, ED RN, then APRN, but SAEM and RAMS gave me my first introduction to Academic Emergency Medicine. I know what a pivotal role these opportunities had in my ability to stay motivated and engaged. I want to continue to bring opportunities to others, connect people to facilitate projects and represent medical student and resident interests for another year. Everyone deserves the opportunity to realize their ideas, get support and mentorship, or simply findings a committee where they can contribute to advancements in the field. My goal is to help connect those who are unaware or unable to find the resources on their own and contribute to projects that create opportunities for others. Thank you for your time!
