Angela Jarman, MD, MPH

SAEM Nominating Committee Member University of California, Davis

Biography

I am a fellowship-trained physician-scientist (University of California, Davis) who strongly supports the mission of SAEM as the premier professional organization for academic emergency physicians. My commitment to SAEM began in 2013, as a resident at the University of Utah and since that time I have maintained an active role within the organization. I recently completed a three-year term as the Chair of the 260-member Sex & Gender Interest Group (SGIG), and despite the challenges of the COVID years, under my leadership we had some of the most successful years since the group’s inception. In the past year alone, the SGIG has developed and sponsored four well-attended and collaborative didactics at our annual meeting, published five peer-reviewed manuscripts focused on sex and gender-specific topics, and led one of ten subgroups at the 2023 consensus conference on precision emergency medicine. I am committed to an academic career and am currently supported by an NIH funded K12 award (Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health) to study sex differences in pulmonary embolism.

Previously I have held leadership positions within the Academy for Women in Academic Emergency Medicine (AWAEM) and led the 2021 pre-conference workshop. I am an active member of both AWAEM and the Academy for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (ADIEM) and have been a featured speaker on national webinars sponsored by each group. In addition, I have served on numerous SAEM committees through the years, most recently I was selected as a member of the inaugural Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion committee. I am additionally committed to a research career in women’s health.

My extensive SAEM experience has helped me understand the needs of the organization and has given me a front-row seat to observe the traits of highly effective leaders. This insight coupled with my history of building curricula, designing and conducting research studies, and supporting professional development, particularly for underrepresented groups has helped me build a broad professional network that I will deploy to ensure the highest quality of ongoing leadership within SAEM.

Service to SAEM as a member of the nominating committee will allow me to have a significant ongoing impact on the organization and thus the advancement of academic EM. My broad experience across all domains of the SAEM mission makes me an excellent candidate to serve on the nominating committee and I would appreciate your support.
