Murat Çetin, MD
Member-at-Large Dr. Behcet Uz Child Disease and Pediatric Surgery Training and Research Hospital
Candidate Statement
I specialize in emergency medicine, with a particular focus on research aimed at enhancing the emergency care provided to older adults. I leverage innovation, education, and evidence-based practices as tools to fulfill this role. After completing my Emergency Medicine residency at Dokuz Eylul University in Türkiye, I augmented my training with clinical research as well as artificial intelligence and systems improvement to emergency care. My present work involves technology and team-based approaches to the diagnosis, pain control, and distress of older adults with complex acute illnesses. I established the EMAT Geriatric Emergency Medicine working group and have been a reviewer and collaborator on numerous other academic initiatives. I hold Geriatric Emergency Medicine Special Interest Group membership with the International Federation of Emergency Medicine (IFEM), facilitating international discussions on the harmonization of emergency care and education for older adults. These roles have deepened my resolve on the integration of research, education, and practice on clinical care aimed at older adults. I seek an AGEM office for the purposes of advancing our goal of enhancing primary emergency care for elders through mentorship, collaboration, and global initiatives. I will focus on developing mentorship for fledgling faculty to foster cross-institution research in aging and technology, and sponsoring educational programs aimed at embedding geriatric competencies in residency training.
