Neel Naik, MD
NYP-Weill Cornell Medicine
"I am currently sssistant professor of emergency medicine, director of EM simulation education. Current Member-At-Large SAEM Simulation Board, Education Small Group Leader SAEM 2020 Telemedicine Consensus Conference. Since I started on the SAEM Simulation Board in the spring of 2020, I have had the responsibility of developing the social media presence of the Simulation Academy. In my time, we have successfully overcome limitations to the account and have actively been tweeting academy updates. Moreover, in order to better serve our members, we have been highlighting publications by our members to increase visibility and continuously promote our members. Through our activity on social media, I have almost doubled the number of followers we have and grown our membership. I have also sought to actively communicate with our membership through regular SAEM Pulse updates to reach those who are not active on social media. As the Vice President of Social Media and Communications, I hope to continue to expand our ability to communicate with our membership, to foster community, announce academy events and promote content created by members of our academy. I hope to continue to grow our social media presence, double our follower base and be a megaphone for our community."
Dr. Neel Naik is an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medicine. He completed his residency and simulation fellowship at New York University/Bellevue Hospital Center, where he developed skills in curriculum design and remediation. Dr. Naik is the Director of Simulation Education at Weill Cornell Medicine’s Department of Emergency Medicine, where he is developing and implementing an enterprise-wide telemedicine education platform as part of the Weill Cornell Medicine’s Center for Virtual Care. He is involved in telemedicine education nationally and directs telemedicine education for all medical students at Weill Cornell Medicine leading to him being awarded the 2019 SAEM Simulation Innovation Award. In addition to simulation education, Dr. Naik is interested in innovation in instructional design and all areas of medical education. He has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in education, directs a national group studying telemedicine education for the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine, and is a nationally known expert in this evolving topic. -
Suzanne (Suzi) Bentley, MD, MPH
President-Elect
NYC Health+Hospitals/Elmhurst, Mount Sinai
I love simulation and I love the Simulation Academy, I will be the first to openly admit it. I’m running for President-elect because it would be an honor to lead the Simulation Academy Executive Committee and continue the many important initiatives underway from the Academy plus initiate so many new ones. I love simulation and collaborating and the Simulation Academy is such an important hub for our EM Simulation community. I have been a member of the Simulation Academy throughout my time as a simulation educator and served on the Executive Committee 2019-2021 as member at large and secretary and I am the current (2021-2022) Sim Academy Secretary. I am running for President-Elect at this time because I feel ready to continue and expand the amazing work being done by the Academy. With my previous experience on the Exec Committee and multiple subcommittees, I believe I have a solid understanding of the Simulation Academy goals, vision, and structure. I firmly believe I can continue to grow and develop the Sim Academy and that I am well suited to the role with my organizational and collaboration skills. Additionally, I am the co-chair of the Sim Academy Faculty Development Committee and have helped spearhead the virtual simulation mentoring and faculty development series of panels held over the last 2 years (thank you again to all of our excellent panelists). I am also an active member and collaborator in the Sim Academy Research Committee, directing multiple initiatives aimed at helping to quantify our needs as simulation educators and propose a call to action and way forward towards increased resource for our members (e.g. simulation research barriers, novel task trainer models). It has been an honor to serve on the Sim Academy Executive Committee and network and collaborate to support so many of our members, loop in members, and encourage new members to become more active. I believe together through collaboration and innovation that we all grow, and importantly, the Sim Academy grows. I hope to continue to accomplish all of what I’ve started and endeavor to expand and start new initiatives within the Academy. I look forward to working to understand and help meet the evolving needs of our members and vow to work with the Exec Committee and our membership to continue to do more for our members and the Academy. -
