Taylor Giller, MD

I am a second year resident at Emory University School of Medicine. I am applying for the position of Academy for Women in Academic Emergency Medicine (AWAEM) Resident Member because I believe in the core mission of AWAEM - that is, empowering and encouraging women within the exciting field of emergency medicine. Long before I entered medical school, it became obvious to me that having strong female mentors was going to be critical to my professional development. Now as a current resident, I have faced innumerable trials, as we all do. I truly could not have made it to this point in my career without the guidance of other women in emergency medicine and for that I am eternally grateful. Therefore, I would like to pay it forward to other women entering, or currently in, emergency medicine by contributing what I can to this incredible organization.
