Daniel Jose Artiga, MD
Secretary-Treasurer University of Cincinnati
Biography
My name is Daniel Artiga, and I am a PGY-2 at the University of Cincinnati and received my medical degree from the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. I have been honored to serve on the RAMS Board the past two years and would love to continue strategic efforts as Secretary-Treasurer.
I was drawn to emergency medicine because of its critical roles as the frontline of healthcare. That responsibility is why we must protect our specialty’s future and advocate for our residents. I recognize SAEM-RAMS as the premiere academic organization to meet our specialty’s newest challenges, whether it is workforce demand-supply changes, widespread accreditation of residencies, or changing common program requirements. The SAEM conference is the best example of this. Last year with the RAMS Resident Labor Task Force, we developed a didactic to inform members of the historical aspects of resident labor rights and its impact on unionization efforts today.
The rest of the year outside of conference however, we interface with our members in online spaces. That is why I have had a pointed focus with the Virtual Presence committee to develop online materials and meet members where they already are. We launched our Instagram this past year. We are streamlining our educational podcasts series so they are more easily accessible. I will be hosting the second round of the Ask-a-Chair podcast, which recounts how some of the most successful EM physicians maneuvered their careers and made departmental impacts. We are continuing our RAMS Financial Literacy webinar series to help cover key financial planning strategies and payment models our members need to understand as physicians. These projects all serve our goal in supporting our members with educational resources and forums to navigate training opportunities, fellowship, and their early years as attendings.
