Alison Bonner, MD

I am currently a PGY-3 at New York Presbyterian- Cornell/Columbia and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for both my Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine, graduating in 2023 as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha. I have had the privilege of serving as a RAMS Board Member-at-large for the past two years and am honored to be considered for election as Secretary and Treasurer.

In my time on the RAMS Board, I have acted as liaison to the Program Committee, a role in which I have been developing a year-long mentorship program for the medical student ambassadors who are crucial to operating the annual meeting. I have also been part of the Strategic Planning Task Force to create the next three-year strategic plan for the RAMS Board and part of the Regional Ambassador Task Force that has worked to connect EMIGs with SAEM, as well as writing an EMIG guidebook. I joined the education committee as a resident member for my first year and am now a member of the wellness committee. This RAMS board is an incredible group of doctors and I am excited by the prospect to work with them for another year in a new role.

If elected, I am excited to seize the opportunity to help design the RAMS section of the new SAEM website, which we hope will be the go-to source of guidance for current and future emergency medicine residents amid the many upcoming changes to residency curricula and board examinations. Additionally, now that residents and medical students make up more than half of SAEM membership, I plan to find new roles for RAMS members within every committee, academy, and interest group in SAEM to fully incorporate RAMS members in all aspects of the organization and grow the future of academic emergency medicine.

To be considered for election as secretary and treasurer is a vote of confidence in the incredible work the RAMS Board has done in these last couple years and I am excited to see what such a strong group of people can do in the future.
