As SAEM continues to grow and evolve, my involvement in various capacities within the organization provides valuable insights and a deep understanding of its inner workings. In alignment with SAEM's mission promoting high-quality research and educational innovation in emergency care, my aspiration to facilitate increased member engagement is crucial for advancing the field and promoting positive change within academic Emergency Medicine. My continued dedication to SAEM and desire to serve as its President is a testament to my commitment to the organization and its mission. My extensive experience as a Member-At-Large on the Board of Directors, along with my current role as Secretary/Treasurer, positions me as a highly qualified candidate to take on the role of President. Continuing my work on the executive committee as President is a natural next step in my journey to advance SAEM and academic Emergency Medicine as a whole.
Within the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, I have made significant professional impact. Through my leadership and involvement in various committees, task forces, and academies I have contributed to the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the specialty, as well as the promotion of scientific discovery, education, and professional development. My service as the Inaugural Chair of the All Emergency Medicine Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force, as well as my past role as the board representative to the Industry Advisory Council, underscores my commitment to fostering collaboration and driving positive change in the field. My leadership within the Academy for Women in Academic Emergency Medicine (AWAEM) and recognition through awards such as the AWAEM Momentum Award and Outstanding Research Publication Award further highlight my dedication to advancing the role of women in academic emergency medicine. Moreover, my involvement with the Academy for Diversity & Inclusion in Emergency Medicine and the SAEM Research Equity Task Force Equity demonstrates my commitment to promoting inclusivity and addressing disparities within the field. I have significantly contributed to the organization’s mission and vision, through participation in various SAEM committees, including the Education Committee, Wellness Committee, and Equity and Inclusion Committee. My dedication to SAEM and my opportunities for leadership within the organization has made a meaningful impact on my professional development and the organization.
My background and experience as a Professor, Vice Chair of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, former Associate Residency Director and Medical Education Fellowship Director in Emergency Medicine at Emory University demonstrates my deep commitment to academic emergency medicine. The emphasis on fostering increased inclusion, bridging the generational gap, and addressing the evolving needs of the EM workforce reflects a forward-thinking approach to leadership in the field. I recognize the importance of thoughtful and deliberate leadership in academia, especially in the context of the ever-changing landscape of emergency medicine. Pushing the envelope of innovation, education, research, and scholarship is crucial to advance the specialty and meet the challenges and opportunities it presents.
My passion and experience position me well to contribute to the continued growth and success of SAEM. Through collaborative leadership and a long-standing commitment to the organization, I am well suited for the role of President. It would be my privilege to continue serving on the Executive Committee of the SAEM Board of Directors as President.
