Ari Friedman, MD, PhD

Member-at-Large

University of Pennsylvania

As an MD/PhD health economist and emergency physician, I conduct research as well care for patients in a metropolitan Level I Trauma Center. My NIA K23 project uses a novel cohort as well as electronic health record data to study the management, diagnoses, and outcomes of abdominal pain in older patients in EDs. In turn, through these research and clinical experiences, I observed how the ED is a deliriogenic environment for patients with baseline vulnerabilities such as cognitive impairment and dementia, and our team is now building tools to better identify patients at risk of delirium and pathways to improve and prioritize their care.

AGEM has played an instrumental role in my growth as a geriatric emergency medical clinician and researcher. I would love to be able to give back to the field and community by serving on the board. If elected as a Member-At-Large on the AGEM Executive Committee, I hope to help AGEM advance research and education to strengthen AGEM and geriatric EM. In addition, I will work with researchers, quality improvement teams, and learning health systems practitioners who do not currently think of themselves as geriatricians to increase their understanding of the importance of geriatric emergency medicine. I will also encourage geriatricians and geri researchers who do not incorporate the emergency department into their work to do so.

As a Member-at-Large, I want to use my experience advancing the science of practical ED-based goals of care discussions to support AGEM’s mission of advancing research, education, and clinical practice in geriatric emergency medicine.

If elected, I will work to create meaningful opportunities for professional development, mentorship, and collaboration within AGEM, particularly at the intersection of research and operations. I am passionate about fostering a vibrant and inclusive community where members can connect, share knowledge, and drive innovations that enhance the quality of care for our older patients.

I am grateful for the opportunity to run and would be honored to serve in this role, helping AGEM continue to lead the way in improving geriatric care in the emergency department.

Grace Wang, MS, MPH

Medical Student Representative

Penn State College of Medicine

Everywhere I have lived, from growing up in Taiwan to moving to California for college, Massachusetts for graduate school, and Pennsylvania for medical school, I find myself repeatedly drawn to working in the ED and giving back to vulnerable populations, especially older adults.

As the first in my family to pursue medicine and move to the States, I obtained three bachelor's degrees at UC Berkeley in MCB: Immunology/Infectious Diseases, Psychology, and Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology. My studies combined my interests in modifiable health factors and behaviors, and I supported older adults in my community both independently and at Oakland’s Sutter Health ED and the Alzheimer’s Services of East Bay.

In Massachusetts, I pursued an MS in Biomedical Sciences and an MPH in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I worked with Tufts’ Palliative Care Department, training MS4s in end-of-life and goals-of-care conversations. As a civilian volunteer for the City of Boston, I planned inclusive events for older community members. During the COVID pandemic, I took care of isolated older adults and worked on ED research at Massachusetts General Hospital on DVTs, PEs, geriatric falls, and the ED Virtual Observation Unit.

Now in medical school, I continue my ED research on sepsis, geriatric falls, EMS decision-making, and hypertension while organizing volunteer opportunities for medical students to help older adults in local nursing homes. My experiences in diverse healthcare settings have strengthened my commitment to emergency medicine and advocating for vulnerable populations, particularly older adults with a focus on social determinants of health.

Audrey Lam

Medical Student Representative

Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine

I am a second-year medical student at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine and a graduate of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. During my four years as an EMT with USC Emergency Medical Services (EMSC), I served as the Associate Director, implemented a geriatric curriculum, and led EMTs in teaching first aid at a retirement community—a first in EMSC’s history. My passions in gerontology and EMS led me to join Cedars-Sinai’s Geriatric ED Quality Improvement Committee towards GED accreditation. Reflecting upon my ED volunteer experience, I identified ways to optimize our volunteer structure to better fulfill older patients’ needs. I collaborated with interdisciplinary healthcare leaders to innovate Cedars-Sinai’s first age-friendly volunteer program and presented at ACEP and to the Institute of Healthcare Improvement on how our 3,600 hours of supportive interventions decreased restraint usage and calmed agitated patients. I learned that collaborative committees, like these, are capable of shifting entire cultures and mobilizing resources to structurally improve care for marginalized communities. I have additionally presented at the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation Conference for three years about age-friendly, culturally-sensitive EMS care. As the recipient of the NIA-funded Medical Student Training in Aging Research (MSTAR) grant at UCLA, I researched ethnogeriatrics with Dr. David Reuben and was selected to be their 2024 Murray H. Neidorf MSTAR Scholar. I am grateful and excited for the opportunity to collaborate and advance age-friendly care for underrepresented communities in emergency medicine across medical schools.

Zachary Boivin, MD

Secretary

Yale School of Medicine

My name is Zach Boivin, an ultrasound faculty member at Yale, and I am running for a secretary position for AEUS. Since starting fellowship, I have always enjoyed being active in both the AEUS and ACEP ultrasound sections, and have worked closely with AEUS to develop Probing the Literature sessions, sonogames round 2 stations, an ocular POCUS narrated lecture video, and more. My goal as member-at-large is to increase the number of members who get involved in AEUS activities to give a chance for all ultrasound faculty members, residents, and medical students with an interest in POCUS to shine.

Additionally, I would work to foster increased collaboration across AEUS committees to ensure members know of all opportunities to get involved. There are so many amazing AEUS members with different strengths and skill sets that can be utilized to further the goals of the section and I hope to work closely with everyone!

Jackie Jian, DO

Secretary

Guthrie Clinic Robert Packer Hospital

My name is Jackie Jian and I am running for the position of secretary for AEUS. I am currently an assistant professor at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, the emergency department ultrasound director at Guthrie Clinic Robert Packer Hospital, and core faculty for the emergency medicine residency. I finished my EUS fellowship at NYP-Brooklyn Methodist in 2023 and I obtained my AEMUS-FPD status in 2024.

My first exposure to SAEM and AEUS began with Sonogames in my third year of residency in 2021. I was able to appreciate AEUS’s dedication to its educational mission despite the difficulties of organizing a virtual competition due to the COVID19 pandemic. Invigorated with the gamification of learning, my team and I won 1st place in Sonogames 2022 and I have been involved as a station moderator since then.

I am running for secretary at AEUS to specifically contribute to its mission of resident education and outreach to increase the amount of members in AEUS. There are potential members among non-fellowship trained physicians who may be intimidated to join a community of stellar but ultra specialized ultrasound clinicians. I also want to focus on how to best assess our resident learners; while there is the SDOT model to assess image acquisition, there is no standardized assessment of their ultrasound interpretation skills. I believe AEUS is the perfect community to establish these guidelines and to write the exam.

I aim to provide appropriate guidance in making this possible by sharing resident and faculty experiences and create an environment where this essential tool is better supported in emergency medicine.

Yusuke Kishimoto, MD

Resident Member

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

My name is Yusuke Kishimoto, PGY2 from University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), and I am running for AEUS Executive Committee's resident representative.

My interest in ultrasound started during my 4th year elective ultrasound rotation. Running around the department with the bulky X-porte, scanning as many patients as I could. I fell in love with POCUS’ versatility and utility in the department as well as providing dynamic real-time diagnostics for patients. As I attended various scientific assemblies, I became acquainted with many ultrasound pioneers from around the country and was inspired by their expertise, knowledge, and passion for the field. What excited me most was the explosive advancements just short of a quarter-century after it’s utilization in the department; the current frontier of applications in the prehospital setting, US-guided block curriculum, realistic SIM training, and even VR integration. All the aforementioned reasons are what moved me to learn more about how I could contribute and be a part of this community. In the future, I hope to share this excitement and inspiration for future students and colleagues as my mentors have for me. Currently serving on multiple national committees including AAEM/RSA (Board of Representatives, Cabinet of Delegates) and ACEP/EMRA (Arkansas Chapter Representative), I hope to bring my experience in leadership, advocacy, and education development for this position.

Liang Liu, MD

President-Elect

Emory University

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine and the Ultrasound Fellowship Director at Emory University. I completed my residency and fellowship training at Parkland Health & Hospital System in Dallas, TX . I am fellowship trained in Emergency Disaster and Global Health (EDGH) and Emergency Ultrasound. Since fellowship I have been an active member of and served leadership positions within several national ultrasound organizations. Specific to AEUS, I have served previously as the immediate-past treasurer of AEUS and am continuing to work with AEUS on several initiatives including the Narrated Lecture Series, the medical student awards committee, and as a member of the Sonogames Executive Planning Committee.

As a member of AEUS, I have directly benefited from the resources provided by the Academy. I have seen the organization’s active role in promoting educational and research initiatives that advance the field of ultrasound. Through my involvement with SAEM, I have been granted the opportunity to see the inner workings of the academy and the organization as a whole. This has equipped me with the skills, institutional knowledge and mentorship needed to step into the role of president-elect for AEUS. As president, I hope to further AEUS’s research and educational missions and continue the work that has been started: expand our educational offerings, make content more accessible to the community, build opportunities to engage and promote members, and find ways that we can work with other academies and interest groups within SAEM to further our shared missions.

Trent She, MD

Member-at-Large

Hartford Hospital/University of Connecticut

I have been nominated and am running to be a Member-at-Large on the AEUS Executive Committee for the next year. To tell the membership a little about me, I am currently the Ultrasound Director at Hartford Hospital and am Fellowship Director for the Clinical Ultrasound Fellowship at the University of Connecticut/Hartford Hospital program. I finished medical school at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, did emergency medicine residency at Mount Sinai Beth Israel and Clinical Ultrasound Fellowship at Mount Sinai St. Luke's West. I've been at Hartford Hospital and living in central Connecticut for the past 5 years and work with the emergency medicine residency from the University of Connecticut and enjoy the outdoors life with my wife and my 2-year old daughter.

I've always enjoyed teaching and working with learners of all types. To this end, I've sought positions both in my own institution, locally, regionally and nationally that would allow me greater exposure to experts in ultrasound education. I've been fortunate to work with some really smart, driven and amazing people in the ultrasound community in the six years since residency graduation and I would love to pay the ultrasound and greater emergency medicine community back.

I already do work with SAEM in a number of ways: I participate in Sonogames - probably the largest gathering of emergency medicine sonographers - as a question writer last year (winning an award for the Best Written Round 1 question) and will be one of the Round 2 section leads for Sonogames 2025 in Philadelphia this year. Every year, I have encouraged a team from our residency to participate in the Games and was fortunate to see our UConn residents win in 2022. Our now graduated fellow also updated the pneumothorax lecture of the Narrated Lecture series (which is now available on the AEUS Youtube channel).

As a Member-at-Large, my job and inititative will be to see what projects are currently underway through our ultrasound section and seek to help in anyway I can. Although I have an interest in ultrasound education, I also want to be an active and contributing member and will first plan to join any projects that need help and assistance. In addition, I also intend to invest myself in projects if I am not given anything to explicitly finish or whatever the Executive Committee will have me do.

Additionally, I hope to help strengthen mentorship programs within AEUS; it is only fair that with the mentorship and teaching that I received that I also be active in reciprocating. Further, I believe in the importance of promoting research and scholarly activity within our community. I have been able to partake in multicenter research and scholarly activity simply from being responsive to email and listserv opportunities through SAEM and these efforts have been instrumental in giving me the experience to advocate for research at my home institution. These type of collaborative efforts are sometimes difficult to start for young faculty, residents or medical students but with the strength of an organization backing strong experts in the field, these are important projects that should be pursued.

As proof of my interest and dedication to teaching, I have received several awards for excellence in education, including teaching awards from the emergency medicine residencies I have been a part of, the ACEP Junior Faculty Teaching Award and the ACEP Ultrasound Future Leader in Education Award.

For anyone reading this, thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to consider me. I promise that my training, educational and professional experiences, and active engagement with multiple societies (including SAEM) have prepared me for the responsibilities of a being a Member-at-Large on the Academy of Emergency Ultrasound board. I would be honored and thankful to have your support and I look forward to the opportunity to serve our organization and its members.

Lindsay Davis, MD

Member-at-Large

Boston University

AEUS has a long history of promoting the advancement of clinical ultrasound by supporting education, research and policy, and I would be honored to serve the ultrasound community in the role of member at large.

I earned my medical degree at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, PA and remained at Temple for residency training in Emergency Medicine. After residency, I moved to New York City to complete my Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship at NYU Langone Health/Bellevue Medical Center. I was recruited to join the Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Faculty at NYU in the role of Director of Resident Ultrasound Education and after a few years was promoted to Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Director. In 2022, I joined the EM US faculty at Boston Medical Center, initially serving as the Director of the Medical Student US Elective, and now as the Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Director.

My decision to pursue further training in the field of emergency ultrasound after residency was driven not only by a desire to become an expert in the field, but particularly to become an exceptional educator to future generations of EM physicians. Since completing fellowship, I have held various education leadership roles. In these roles I have developed innovative curricula and learning experiences, overseen scholarly projects, and mentored learners. I also participate in ultrasound education on a national scale, from collaborations with POCUS Atlas, to being an active member in the ACEP EUS Fellowship Subcommittee and the SCUF Education Committee. Volunteering as a judge at SonoGames for multiple years has been an experience I valued and has contributed to my desire to get more involved in AEUS.

I hope to utilize my skills in education, communication, organization and creativity to give back to this collaborative and dedicated POCUS community. As member at large, I would strive to support the President and executive board by taking on whatever projects are priorities to meet AEUS’s goals for the year. In particular, I would love to help create innovative education resources, brainstorm ways to increase our engagement with residents and provide more visibility and support for residents interested in pursuing fellowship, and create thoughtful initiatives and programming that promote diversity and inclusion in the ultrasound community. I think there are opportunities for AEUS to provide peer mentorship opportunities for junior faculty or faculty new to their leadership positions. Lastly, I hope to work with the Education Officer to put on the most large-scale, innovative, educational and fun SonoGames to date.
