Nichole Michaeli, MD, MPH

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Vermont. Prior to joining UVM, I completed an Emergency Medicine residency at Brown University and a Global Emergency Medicine Fellowship at Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where I also earned a Diploma in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

My global health work focuses on strengthening emergency care systems around the world through education, training, and capacity development. I have collaborated with international NGOs and universities to expand access to emergency care in multiple LMICs, including Kenya and Liberia. In partnership with humanitarian organizations, I have also led the implementation of Basic Emergency Care and Mass Casualty Management trainings for frontline providers in regions impacted by conflict and natural disasters, including Ukraine, Somalia, and Jamaica. Through these efforts, I aim to equip healthcare providers with the skills to deliver high-quality, context-appropriate emergency care in their communities.

Within SAEM and the Global Emergency Medicine Academy, I have contributed as a Fellow Representative, Humanitarian Task Force member, and Basic Emergency Care Committee member. As a Member-at-Large, I aim to strengthen mentorship opportunities for trainees and early-career physicians in both the U.S. and international settings by fostering connections that promote bidirectional learning and professional growth. I hope to expand engagement with our global partners by creating more inclusive structures for participation and collaboration within GEMA. My goal is to build equitable partnerships that amplify diverse voices and ensure that global emergency medicine initiatives are shaped and led by those working within their own health systems. I hope to help grow a more connected and representative GEMA community dedicated to advancing emergency care worldwide.
