Lauren Diercks

Ms. Lauren Diercks is a current fourth year medical student at UT Southwestern. Ms. Diercks will start her journey as a resident at Stanford Health Care in California, where she plans to focus on administration and operations.

Ms. Diercks has served on the Resident and Medical Student (RAMS) Board for two years as the Medical Student Representative, where she has made significant contributions to the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM). Her time on the RAMS Board has been marked by her advocacy for the member experience through her work on the Membership Committee and her efforts to foster increased medical student engagement in emergency medicine. She spearheaded an Emergency Medicine Interest Group (EMIG) survey and initiated the RAMS Regional Ambassador Program, a project designed to pair RAMS Board members with each of the SAEM regions. The aim of this program was to better support and advocate for the RAMS community, facilitate greater engagement among students interested in EM, and enhance the overall SAEM member experience.
