I am a first-year medical student at The Ohio State University. I completed my B.S. in Biomedical Science at Ohio State this past spring and am so excited to continue my medical education here in Columbus, OH. Though I am new to the SAEM and AGEM organizations, I have served on a few student organization committees such as President of Enlighten, an anti-human trafficking group at Ohio State, as well as secretary and president for the Ohio State Men's Rugby Club. As a medical student who is interested in emergency medicine and geriatrics, I hope to offer the committee the perspective of a medical student that provides insight into how incorporating a geriatric focus of emergency medicine can be strengthened during medical students' early years of training. More specifically, I hope to help develop the interprofessional focus of GEM education and increase the emphasis placed on the team mindset early on in medical education for future physicians.
