Stephanie Balint, APRN

Ms. Stephanie Balint is a third-year medical student (M3) at Quinnipiac University, with a diverse and extensive background in emergency medicine (EM). Before embarking on her journey through medical school, Stephanie cultivated her passion for EM through her experiences as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), National Guard Healthcare Specialist, Emergency Department (ED) Registered Nurse (RN), and Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). Her pre-medical school clinical experience in community centers allowed her to witness the power of cohesive teams and the importance of supporting one another in high-pressure environments.

In her roles with SAEM and RAMS, Stephanie made significant contributions to the field of emergency medicine. She participated in didactics covering topics such as the Post-Roe Landscape of EM, the Management of APPs in the ED, and Moral Injury, while also working on research related to workforce trends. Her efforts resulted in the publication of several articles, including four Pulse pieces. However, her most cherished role involved connecting fellow students to research opportunities, mentorship, and committee work, ensuring that those with interest or limited access could still find meaningful engagement in the EM community.
