Jennifer Love, MD

I would be honored to serve as AWAEM President in the upcoming term. Since joining AWAEM in 2020 as Co-Chair of the Didactics Committee, I have found this community to be an incredible source of mentorship, inspiration, and belonging. AWAEM has given me and many others an empowering space to share challenges, celebrate successes, and build one another up as we advance the impact of women in academic emergency medicine.

Over the past five years, as Chair of the Didactics and Research Committees and now as VP of Education, I have been lucky to help grow initiatives that embody AWAEM’s mission. Together with our members, I have worked to expand didactic submissions and transform them into SAEM webinars that amplify women’s voices in research and career development. I helped the Research Committee launch the AWAEM K Club, a mentoring program connecting members pursuing K awards with experienced mentors who provide targeted feedback. As VP of Education, I have continued to support the didactics committee and new executive committee initiatives, such as AWAEM Grand Rounds.

If elected President, I will continue to build upon these efforts by strengthening and expanding AWAEM’s core programs—the Speakers Bureau, Grand Rounds, and Awards. I will prioritize collaboration with CORD to elevate our members as national thought leaders. I will strengthen partnerships with EMRA to nurture the next generation of women in academic emergency medicine. Finally, I would explore launching new initiatives based on feedback from the member survey. Potential ideas may include an AWAEM Coaching Program to provide focused coaching for members or an AWAEM Retreat to foster continued growth, learning and mentorship in our community outside of the busy annual SAEM meeting.
