As a board candidate for AACEM, I will do the heavy lifting required to support this organization. From committee work to strategic planning, advancing the mission of AACEM requires the time, effort and commitment to advancing the academic mission of our great specialty. I will bring a balanced approach to leadership. The missions of service, education and discovery require constant attention. Similarly, AACEM must to balance its attention to these missions. While training modifications may be front of mind, extramural funding and boarding pressures are ever present for our medical centers and our faculty. As a junior chair at AACEM, I am committed to listening how it can foster fellowship and mentorship among its members. As my friend and mentor Richard C. Levy said to me when I secured this position, the first thing that suffers when we become Chair is that the list of mentees grows while the list of mentors shrinks. AACEM changes that.
