Adedoyin Adesina, MD, MEd

I am an assistant professor and associate clerkship director in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. I earned my medical degree from SUNY Downstate and completed my emergency medicine residency at Kings County Hospital Center/SUNY Downstate. After residency, I began my academic career at Baylor while pursuing a Master of Education in curriculum and innovation from the University of Houston, which strengthened my ability to design and implement learner-centered, inclusive educational programs.

My academic work focuses on promoting inclusive learning environments and bridging the gap between classroom and bedside teaching to create meaningful, well-rounded educational experiences. I developed an innovative online module to train students on the effective use of medical interpreters, enhancing communication and care for patients with limited English proficiency. Additionally, I am deeply committed to mentoring and recruiting from the lens of building a workforce that reflects the diverse patient populations we serve. My efforts have been recognized with the Visionary Educator Award and the Norton Fulbright Excellence in Teaching Award.

As an active member of SAEM and ADIEM, I have served as co-chair of education for ADIEM, organizing national webinars, contributing to programming in the equity space, and supporting initiatives that advance diversity and inclusion in academic medicine. I also serve as a faculty senate representative, DEI ambassador, and admissions committee member at Baylor, roles that reflect my dedication to advocacy, mentorship, and equitable representation.
As Member-at-Large, I seek to continue advancing ADIEM’s mission by amplifying diverse voices, fostering mentorship across career stages, and developing educational resources that embed diversity, equity, and inclusion as foundations of excellence in emergency medicine.
