Michelle Suh, MD
Member-at-Large University of Chicago
Biography
I would like to serve as the member-at-large of AGEM to become more involved with the national geriatric EM community and help improve care for our geriatric patients. As the United States population continues to age, it is critical that our EDs are prepared to provide equitable, geriatric-sensitive care. To do so, the coordination of our research, education, and implementation is key, and organizations like AGEM can facilitate this important work.
As the current medical education fellow at the University of Chicago, I have focused on education and research surrounding geriatric EM. In terms of education, I am interested in the intersection of geriatrics and medical education, especially the hidden curriculum around geriatric patients. I am also involved with the pre-clinical doctoring course and their geriatric sessions. In terms of research, I have explored geriatrics through a lens of equity. For example, I worked on a qualitative study examining the effects of boarding on patients with dementia, and I am working on the JAGS scoping review about DEI in geriatric EM research.
As a recent graduate and “resident lurker,” I have appreciated SAEM for its ability to bring academic EPs together in pursuit of a shared mission. I hope to join AGEM as a member-at-large to help its education efforts, learn more about geriatric research, and join the national conversation about how to best serve our geriatric patients. Given my vision of my time with AGEM, I would be honored to serve as the next member-at-large. Thank you for your consideration.
