Neha Raukar, MD, MS
Mayo Clinic
The subspecialty of geriatrics is undergoing a renaissance. As the country gets older, and disparities in care and outcomes are better understood, and highlighted, the care given in the acute setting plays a pivotal role in affecting the trajectory of the lives of our geriatric patients.
As I work to help my own healthcare institution achieve geriatric accreditation, I realize many areas of improvement in the way we deliver care in our US emergency departments. As is the mission of AGEM, through collaboration, research, and education the quality of care can be improved. Furthermore, AGEM stands as the voice of our geriatric patients to advocate for continued education of our colleagues. AGEM is also positioned to encourage innovation in the clinical and operations realms to generate solutions. Through collaboration with other SAEM Academies and Interest Groups, we can advance the care we deliver as a community to this population.
I am running for a position on the AGEM executive committee as I have executive committee experience on other academies and look forward to bringing my experiences and expertise to help promote the missions of AGEM. -
