Angel Li, MD
Secretary The Ohio State University
Candidate Statement
I am an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at The Ohio State University, a dedicated advocate for geriatric emergency care, and a candidate for Secretary of SAEM’s Academy of Geriatric Emergency Medicine (AGEM).
My passion for improving care for older adults has guided my national leadership roles with SAEM and ACEP. I have served on the AGEM Executive Committee, contributed to curriculum development, and helped lead initiatives that advance geriatric focused education and policy. At Ohio State, I lead the Hospital Care at Home initiative in the emergency department, focusing on safe transitions for geriatric patients. As Medical Director of our ED based observation unit, I have worked to expand care pathways that reduce unnecessary admissions while maintaining safety and dignity. I also helped initiate the first ACEP policy efforts focused specifically on geriatric emergency medicine, aiming to embed age-friendly principles into national standards. Recently, I collaborated with AWAEM to co-lead a national webinar on career longevity in emergency medicine and published a Pulse article highlighting strategies to sustain meaningful careers in the field.
My involvement with AGEM has been a cornerstone of my academic journey. I am running for Secretary to continue advancing AGEM’s mission by supporting high quality education, promoting impactful research, and building a strong community of advocates committed to improving emergency care for older adults.
