Meagan Barry, MD, PhD

As treasurer, I will promote GEMA’s mission by growing our membership base, particularly among our global colleagues, and doubling our efforts for global engagement. I bring a unique background that will benefit the role of GEMA treasurer. As an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Brown University, Providence, RI, I work closely with many present and past GEMA executive committee members. I received my Medical Doctorate (MD) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. During this time, I was a member of the Baylor Research Advocates for Student Scientists, a philanthropic group dedicated to improving health through science, scholarship, and innovation. During my residency in emergency medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, I served on the SAEM RAMS board as a member-at-large. I stayed at Brown for fellowship in global emergency medicine, during which time I completed a Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Hygiene (DTM&H) from the Gorgas Memorial Institute of Tropical and Preventive Medicine. Additionally, I have a Certificate of Knowledge in Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers' Health (CTropMed) from the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene. My work focuses on global infectious diseases and maternal-child health. During my tenure as treasurer, I will be an advocate for academic Global Emergency Medicine within SAEM. I will strive to represent and support the incredible diversity of research that our members accomplish while growing our membership base and strengthening global partnerships.
