Alicia Genisca, MD

I received my medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College and completed my pediatrics residency at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, followed by fellowship training in Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Texas Children’s Hospital. I am currently faculty at Brown University in the Division of Global Emergency Medicine, where I am deeply engaged in global health education, research, and clinical capacity building. My prior global health work includes serving as a Baylor Global Health Corps physician in Ethiopia and Saipan, and I have extensive clinical, educational, and research experience in Belize, Ethiopia, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Jamaica.Within SAEM, I have served as the Inaugural Chair of the GEMA Pediatrics Group and as a Basic Emergency Care (BEC) Co-Chair and faculty trainer for multiple SAEM-sponsored BEC “Train the Trainers” courses. Through these roles, I have honed skills in organizing and leading large conference sessions, collaborating across diverse teams, and aligning members toward shared goals.I am running for the position of Program Committee Liaison because I am confident that my leadership experience, organizational skills, and collaborative spirit will allow me to contribute meaningfully to GEMA’s mission. GEMA is a respected and influential community within the global health education, mentorship, and research space. Having personally benefited from the mentorship, professional opportunities, and sense of community that GEMA provides, I am deeply committed to supporting its continued growth and impact.If elected, I aim continue to advance GEMA’s reputation as a leader in global health education and collaboration.
