Katy Oksuita, MS

I am interested in this position because I care about the standards of our AAAEM and the power of advocacy we have as a group. Our work benefits the specialty of Emergency Medicine, and we can make a significant impact on people’s lives. I began my career in medicine (surgery) in 2009 and joined the emergency medicine specialty in 2010, first as a Residency Coordinator and then Education Director, culminating in being awarded the EMRA coordinator of the year award in 2014. I then transitioned into leadership administration, first the Assistant Department Administrator and then became the Chief Administrative Officer in 2017. I take pride in my ability to communicate, while remaining open to and respectful of differing viewpoints. The relationships I have formed serve as constant inspiration to continue my service. I have found a family within AAAEM, and I pledge to foster this feeling of belonging within all members. Given my experience and sense of purpose to our specialty, academic medicine, and administration leadership at large, I would be honored to contribute to the improvement of our profession and society. Thank you!
