Katherine Godfrey, MD

I am running for the RAMS Board to ensure the professional development and career longevity of our members.

My unique background provides me with a well-rounded perspective on academic development. I completed two years of Internal Medicine residency In New York City and am now an Emergency Medicine resident at New York Presbyterian, enrolled in dual Ultrasound and Medical Education Advanced Practice Tracks (APTs). I am a member of Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) and received the Emergency Medicine Rotator of the Year Award as an Internal Medicine Resident.

I have been involved in multiple peer-reviewed publications and presentations on topics from cardiovascular research to novel MedEd curricula. I have strong leadership experience, having served as a Peer-Selected ACGME Representative. Presently, I am participating in administrative and quality improvement roles, such as Sepsis Champion and Informatics Curriculum Design Team. While I do not have prior RAMS/SAEM Board experience, my commitment to academics and professional growth is extensive.

If elected, I will promote two key goals aligned with the RAMS Strategic Plan. First, I will leverage my APT experience to focus on Enhanced Educational Innovation. We will develop structured, high-yield toolkits, such as POCUS curricular design and Evidence-Based Medicine implementation. We will strive to boost RAMS’ scholarly activity. Secondly, I will establish a resource center focused on Professional Sustainability. We will provide guidance on QI project leadership and contract negotiation. This will ensure our future academic leaders are prepared for faculty life and enjoy career sustainability.

I am ready to use my diverse training to serve the RAMS membership and advance our shared mission.
