Jennifer Carey, MD

I am an Associate Professor at UMass Chan Medical School and serve as the Division Director of Undergraduate Medical Education. In this role, I lead curriculum development and teach across both pre-clinical and clinical phases of medical training. I am core faculty in our residency program and direct the Education Fellowship, mentoring future educators and shaping the next generation of academic emergency medicine physicians. My efforts in education and mentorship have been recognized through multiple teaching awards, which I deeply value.

My commitment to medical education is longstanding and extends beyond my institution. Since residency, I have been actively engaged with SAEM and CDEM, serving on multiple committees. These include my current roles as a member-at-large on the CDEM Board of Directors, Chair of the Career Development and Mentorship Committee, Objective Co-Lead on the SAEM Education Subcommittee, and organizer of the Medical Student Symposium at the 2026 annual meeting. These experiences have allowed me to collaborate with inspiring educators nationwide and advocate for meaningful improvements in academic emergency medicine.

As a member of the Board of Directors, I will continue to support the inclusive and collaborative CDEM community including expanding mentorship opportunities, recruiting and supporting junior faculty, and improving access to shared educational resources. In the role of Treasurer, I will help optimize resource allocation and support initiatives that directly benefit our members, students, and educational programs. I aim to promote a culture that encourages innovation and provides support, ensuring educators at all career stages can thrive.
