Katherine Stewart, MD

I am the current simulation fellow at Brown Emergency Medicine in Providence, RI and a fellow in the Masters of Education in the health professions program through Johns Hopkin’s University. Whether engaging with large, multidisciplinary teams or small groups of medical students, I have always found it very rewarding to create opportunities for learning and reflection through simulation and have continually sought involvement in medical education, research design, and quality improvement during my residency and fellowship. My current research is focused on formalized de-escalation training for residents and front desk staff at our hospitals as well as mixed methods program evaluation for our physician peer support program. I feel my background in medical education, research, and peer mentorship will allow me to cultivate stronger connections and collaboration between students, residents, and early career physicians invested in simulation across the nation. I hope to further connect simulation fellows in similar regions either virtually or in-person to connect, share ideas, and collaborate, as well as invest in mentorship and research partnerships for young physicians in simulation nationally.
