Jared A. Escobar, MD

I am a PGY-3 resident at New Jersey Medical School with a background shaped by military service, healthcare experience, and a strong commitment to leadership, education, and mentorship. After high school, I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving in the Marine Special Operations community. During this time, I cross-trained with Navy Corpsmen, which inspired my transition into medicine. Following my military service, I completed undergraduate studies at Fordham University before attending Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, where I was commissioned into the U.S. Army. As a Curriculum Research Fellow, I helped integrate teamwork and leadership training into residency programs and published research on team performance and medical education. I was honored to be inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha and recognized as a Rutgers Rising Star Scholar for my academic and leadership achievements.

Over the past year, I have served on the SAEM RAMS Board, contributing to initiatives focused on resident wellness, professional development, and educational programming. I have worked to create webinars and other resources that provide trainees with insight into academic careers, faculty positions, and leadership opportunities within emergency medicine.

I am running for re-election to the RAMS Board to continue advancing the Society’s mission of supporting residents and medical students in emergency medicine. If re-elected, I plan to expand educational opportunities, particularly in critical care and EM-ICU integration, strengthen resident leadership development programs, and foster a supportive, collaborative community among RAMS members. My goal is to ensure that trainees are not only well-prepared for clinical excellence but also empowered to become leaders, innovators, and advocates for the specialty.
I am excited to continue contributing to RAMS and SAEM by promoting education, research, mentorship, and community, helping to shape the next generation of academic emergency physicians.
