March 2023

Dear Friends, 

Tomorrow is a big day, and this is no April Fools joke :-) 

If you are presenting at SAEM23, all disclosures and bios are due by April 1. Tomorrow is also the last day to change presenting authors, and to upload final presentation slides to the speaker portal.

Of course, SonoGames Round 0 Austin Sono Limits is also due tomorrow. Submit your song and album cover here.

And, in case you still haven't registered for SonoGames, here's the link again, and here's how you can register for the afterparty. We are close to 70 residency teams already, on track to be a record breaking year!

Finally, check out the AEUS Roadmap at SAEM23. The latest updates include the finalist 2022 articles for the SAEMMIES. Voting will commence soon!

Cheers!

Teresa

February 2023

Hi Friends,

Many exciting developments over the past month. 

1. The Academy voted in our next slate of leaders. Congratulations to our next President-elect, Petra Duran-Gehring, next Education Officer, Jason Arthur, and next Treasurer, Maya Lin.

2. More importantly, thank YOU for doing your civic duty. Hundreds of you took valuable time to consider our amazing candidates and cast your vote. Also, thanks to all the candidates. Our Academy cannot thrive without your stepping forward to volunteer to serve our members. 

3. We are gearing up for SAEM23. We have exceeded expectations in our progress: SonoGames round 0 is already happening. Team registration for SonoGames exceeded prior years at this point. The rest of the planning is underway. We already have an AEUS Roadmap at SAEM23 here for you, see also QR code attached. (Thank you AEUS member Judy Lin!) 

Please note on the Google sheet that our Business Meeting Agenda is set. As with last year, we will have happy hour to foster networking. Concurrently, we will be highlighting the best AEUS articles of 2022 along with SAEMMIES. So giddy up! We will have good libations in hand, while getting up to date with literature and recognizing select academicians (The best articles tab on the roadmap is empty right now -fear not, it will be populated as the SAEMMIES committee finish their rigorous selection process).

4. More good news: the Grants committee has chosen a winning SAEMF-AEUS grant submitted by one of our inaugural Mentored Grants Group mentees. We have high expectations for our current mentored group! (No pressure, current mentees…)

5. Academic Professional Development Series – First Webinar will be on March 29, 2023 @ 12pmPST/2pm CST/3pm EST. Topic will be "Navigating promotions for Junior Faculty" By Dr. Joshua Goldstein, MD MPH. Want to understand the secret sauce to successfully climb the academic ladder? Register for the Webinar here.

6. Collaborator Connection is here! Years in the making, this is the Tinder/eHarmony of research studies. AEUS members (D. Theodoro, S. Adhikari, et. al.) matched up with SAEM Research Group to customize this resource for ultrasound research. Now we need all of you to create accounts and post studies. No swiping necessary. Soon we will be asking you to share successful match stories and look forward to reading your multi-institutional studies at AEM or AEM E&T!

7. Lastly, I will not be doing my job if I don't provide easy links for you stragglers to register for SonoGames and register for the Post-SonoGames Party. Get it together! Early Registration Deadline for SAEM is March 14! You're welcome. 

Cheerio!

A quick note on a few things that you may be interested to know.

1. Your executive committee has submitted feedback to ABEM on the anticipated AEMUS Core Content revision
2. Did you know that we have an active DEI committee?  They are instrumental in our scholarships and awards last month. The goal is to promote diversity and inclusivity in everything we do. So, if you have any suggestion or feedback towards this goal, please reach out to me.
3. The Second Mentored Grant Writing Group has paired 11 promising mentees with 11 successful mentors. We are looking forward to their impactful grants in 2023. 

Upcoming events and deadlines:

1. SAEM 2023 abstracts are due January 3. Innovations/IGNITE! are due January 11. 
2. The SonoGames Registration is open now, think of the fun and the glory! After the competition, come to the Post-SonoGames Party. Space to the party is limited so you want to secure your registration now.
3. All SAEM memberships will expire this month! Renew your SAEM and AEUS Memberships nowto continue to take advantage of all of our offerings to help you be the best academic sonologist you can be (and to continue to get the monthly updates from me)!
