Emma G. Cortes, DO

I am an emergency medicine-family medicine physician, and current global health fellow at Brown University. I have been committed to helping GEMA grow through serving as the co-chair of the American Indian-Alaska Native Health Committee since 2022, and on the executive committee for the past 2 terms. As the GEMA program committee liaison, I helped plan the annual meeting for SAEM25. At this meeting, members from around the world shared their ideas and vision about the future of GEMA, and I want to continue serving to help make that vision a reality. I am excited to apply what I’ve learned from the past years to expand the GEMA community, amplify the voices of its members, and advance the mission of making global emergency medicine equitable and just.
