Kellie LeVine McKenzie, MD

I am a Medical Toxicology fellow with Emory Emergency Medicine, and am AWAEM’s current secretary. I completed my residency with Emory this past year. My undergraduate education was at Duke University, where I graduated in 2017 with a major in Biology and research honors, as well as minors in Chemistry and French. After a year in genomics research, I attended Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. I graduated in 2022 with Honors with Distinction in research and as the school’s 2022 SAEM award recipient. My experience with SAEM, and more broadly, academic emergency medicine, includes involvement with SAEM and ACEP throughout medical school and residency. I was an ACEP Medical Student Scholar in 2021, and an SAEM Medical Student Ambassador in both 2020 and 2021. I was selected as a Lead Ambassador for the conference both years. I have gained additional meaningful leadership experience from my positions working with the national educational organization, Foundations of Emergency Medicine. I have served as AWAEM’s Resident Member, and this past year have been AWAEM’s Secretary. I hope to continue on in this role and further my career and personal development while staying on as a representative and voice for women in the field. I gained valuable experience through my role as AWAEM’s resident member, and have continued to grow as this past year’s secretary.
