Jason Arthur, MD, MPH

President-Elect University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

Candidate Statement

I am running for office in AEUS because I believe in the power of our community to advance education, innovation, and mentorship in emergency ultrasound. My training and career have been shaped by mentors who invested in my growth as a clinician, educator, and faculty member. Many of those influential relationships came through AEUS, and I have benefited enormously from the mentorship, collaboration, and sense of belonging that this academy fosters.

Throughout my involvement in AEUS, including service as Webmaster, Education Officer, and Sonogames Organizing Committee Chair, I have seen how meaningful connections within our academy can elevate patient care, inspire academic curiosity, and support career development. My goal is to strengthen and expand that network. I hope to grow engagement with students, residents, and fellows; cultivate supportive mentorship pathways; and continue developing AEUS as a platform where early-career clinicians can find direction, support, and opportunities for leadership growth.

If elected, I will work to ensure AEUS remains a welcoming, collaborative, and forward-thinking community that advances both the science and practice of emergency ultrasound. I am committed to fostering an environment where every member feels supported and empowered to contribute, learn, and lead as part of the broader academic emergency medicine community.
