Rupinder Kaur Sekhon, MD

I currently serve as the co-director for the Development and Grants Committee. If elected as director, my primary focus will be to secure new funding sources and expand educational webinars to build a more resilient network for our global emergency medicine community. I aim to significantly broaden and diversify our membership by actively recruiting early career physicians and increasing our engagement with both medical schools and colleagues in low-income countries, ensuring GEMA sustainably advances the educational and research pursuits of all its members.

I remain dedicated to global health efforts in Ghana and contribute to the broader SAEM community through involvement with the Wellness and Program committees. I spent my early career in Boston after completing an advanced emergency medicine ultrasonography (AEMUS) fellowship at Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center. I recently moved back to Michigan to be closer to family and serve as the AEMUS fellowship director as well as the advanced primary care ultrasonography (APCUS) co-director at Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor.
