Jeffrey P. Druck, MD

I am grateful for the chance to be considered for Secretary/Treasurer of the SAEM Board of Directors. This role combines my passion for academic emergency medicine with my commitment to careful stewardship of the Society’s resources. SAEM has shaped my career and provided the professional home where I have grown as a leader, mentor, and advocate.

The Secretary/Treasurer is responsible for maintaining the Society’s records, ensuring accurate minutes of Board meetings, overseeing financial accounts, and reporting regularly to the membership. My experience aligns well with these responsibilities. I currently serve as Vice Chair for Faculty Advancement, Transformation, and Wellbeing in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Utah, where I help oversee budgeting for faculty development initiatives and ensure responsible allocation of resources. Earlier in my career at the University of Colorado, I directed the Office of Professional Excellence and managed complex budgets supporting wellness and mentorship programs across the School of Medicine, honing the organizational and fiscal skills this position demands.

My service to SAEM has been broad and sustained. I am a current member of the SAEM Board of Directors, where I contribute to strategic planning and policy development. I co-chair the AI Task Force, leading efforts to craft policies on the responsible integration of artificial intelligence in education, research, and program evaluation. I am also a past President of the Academy for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Medicine (ADIEM), where I worked with multiple academies to foster equity and inclusion and advance academic emergency medicine for all members. In addition, I have served on the Wellness, Education, and Faculty Development Committees and continue to mentor through ADIEM and other academies.

If elected, I will ensure transparent financial reporting, safeguard SAEM’s fiscal health, and invest strategically in programs supporting our members’ professional and personal growth.
