Emily S. Binstadt, MD, MPH

I would be honored to serve on the SAEM Bylaws Committee because I believe in the mission and objectives of SAEM and I would like to give back to an organization which has offered me opportunities for career development, collaboration, and a sense of common meaning, purpose, and direction. I trained in EM in the Harvard MGH/BWH program, and completed my MPH and Simulation Fellowship in 2003 at Harvard institutions. I was Assistant Director of STRATUS Center and faculty at Brigham and Women's Hospital until 2007, when I moved back to Minnesota. I am core teaching faculty at Regions Hospital in St Paul, MN and an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Minnesota Medical School. I believe that my diverse experiences in different academic emergency medicine settings affords an inclusive lens that I can use to enhance SAEM's efforts to welcome and support all of its members. I believe in SAEM's research goals and would seek to promote increased grant funding opportunities for members. I support the educational goals of this organization, and would work to encourage innovation in teaching. My professional training has focused on medical education, specifically simulation curriculum development and innovation. SAEM is positioned at the forefront of this field, promoting productive collaborations. SAEM has a role in professional development that transcends an individual location, medical school or academic department. I have personally found opportunities for leadership, meaning, and wellness through my involvement with SAEM, and I am motivated to help promote this type of belonging for all our members. I am action-oriented, reasonably organized, a team-player, and I follow through on commitments. Thank you for your consideration.
