Frank Jurkiewicz, MBA
Secretary University of Florida, College of Medicine - Gainesville
Biography
I am grateful for the opportunity to be considered for the executive committee. With over 15 years of experience in leadership roles within academic and community healthcare, especially in emergency medicine, I am committed to supporting AAAEM’s mission through strategic initiatives that elevate clinical care, education, and research while ensuring financial and operational integrity. My background includes an MBA and an Academic Emergency Medicine Administration Certification, and in my current role as Executive Administrator/Vice Chair for Administrative Affairs, I work closely with department and system leaders to foster a thriving healthcare environment.
As the chair of AAAEM’s Education and Professional Development Committee, I focus on promoting knowledge-sharing through “hot topic” sessions that address current challenges and opportunities. My service on the Benchmark Committee, as well as previous experience chairing the Communication Committee, has helped me understand the value of data-driven insights and effective communication in strengthening our collective efforts. Outside of AAAEM, I am deeply committed to mentoring future leaders and was involved in creating a 2-year Healthcare Administrative Fellowship at the University of Florida.
If elected, my goal is to contribute to a dynamic, forward-thinking AAAEM that remains supportive, engaging, and welcoming to all members, especially newcomers. By continually enhancing our events and fostering a sense of connection, we can inspire excitement and a feeling of belonging across our membership. It would be a privilege to bring new perspectives and work alongside colleagues to uphold and advance our shared mission.
Thank you for considering my nomination.
