Allison L. Cowett, PharmD, BCEMP
Member-at-Large Northwestern Memorial Hospital
Candidate Statement
It is with great enthusiasm that I announce my candidacy for Member-at-Large on Academic Emergency Medicine Pharmacist’s (AEMP) executive committee. My journey with AEMP has been invaluable and I aspire to empower others to achieve their goals and become strong leaders in our field. I have an excellent educational foundation, having completed my pharmacy school training at the University of Maryland, and my PGY1 and Emergency Medicine (EM) PGY2 residency training at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH). Currently, I work as an EM clinical pharmacist at NMH where I also serve as the PGY2 residency coordinator and manage the EM APPE rotation.
As the inaugural chair of AEMP’s Education Committee and staying on to serve a second term, I have demonstrated my commitment to leadership and advancement of our academy. My contributions to the organization include developing a strategic plan for Continuing Pharmacist Education (CPE) credits that secured $10,000 for our academy. Additionally, I initiated a webinar series (7 completed to date), collaborated with another professional organization for a journal club debate, and organized the resident research presentations at this past year's annual meeting. My involvement extends to serving on SAEM’s membership committee and various interest groups as well.
As I run for office, I am driven by the mission and vision of AEMP and aim to continue advocating for our profession. If elected, I hope to expand membership, advance EM pharmacy education and policy, and foster further collaboration amongst the other SAEM academies and interest groups to reflect the multidisciplinary environment we operate in on a daily basis. Given my interest in all of the committees within AEMP, I believe the member-at-large position is an excellent opportunity for me to play a role in them all and give back to an organization that has greatly advanced my career.
