Dustin B. Williams, MD, FACEP
Development Officer UT-Southwestern
Biography
I received my undergraduate degree in biomedical science from Texas A&M University. I then obtained my medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center-San Antonio before continuing to complete my emergency medicine residency at Indiana University. I joined the faculty at UT-Southwestern Medical Center in 2011, where I currently serve as residency program director for our EM training program. My clinical site is Parkland Memorial Hospital, the only county hospital for the entirety of Dallas County as well as one of the largest and busiest county hospitals in the country.
During my time at UT-Southwestern, I have served in various leadership roles including Assistant Program Director and more recently Program director, chair and co-chair of departmental and interdisciplinary committees. I have also had long-standing membership and involvement in SAEM, having served on multiple committees including: SAEM Education Committee 2013-14, SAEM Faculty Development Committee 2014-present, SAEM Membership committee 2021-present. I currently serve as Vice-chair of SAEM Membership committee and have also previously served as chair of our ADIEM LGBTQIA+ Subcommittee 2021-2023.
I strongly value the outstanding mentorship and leadership development that I have gained through my involvement in SAEM and ADIEM over the past 9 years. I wish to continue my service to this organization by appointment as Development officer to the ADIEM Board. I look forward to representing our members to positively impact our organization through continued advocacy for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as we work to celebrate the diversity that we all bring to the table. I intend to serve as a dedicated member of the team, to be present and engaged, working to seek out diverse opportunities for collaboration, and brainstorming innovative strategies for lasting change in our Academy, while also working towards decreasing health care disparities in our communities.
I am immensely proud to be a member of ADIEM and to see the incredible growth and development of our Academy over the past several years. This is a testament to the passion and dedication of our members and leadership. As a board member I will work to amplify efforts and outreach to recruit diverse membership, enhance and build on the current mission of ADIEM to expand advocacy for all historically underrepresented groups in medicine, as well as promote and support initiatives that address social determinants of health and work towards eliminating healthcare disparities.
I live with my husband, Tionne, and our German short-haired pointer, Addie, in Dallas Texas. I enjoy gardening, grilling, cooking new recipes, and spending time with my friends and family. My professional passions include medical education, DEI, LGBTQIA+ advocacy and emergent ophthalmological complaints. In my free time you can catch me: watching an unhealthy amount of reality tv, obsessively grooming my yard, and always working to create a welcoming space that creates belonging.
