Alina Tsyrulnik, MD
Vice President of Education Yale University Department of Emergency Medicine
Biography
As a member of AWAEM, I have found this organization to be invaluable as a resource for networking and mentorship. At every meeting I attend, I am delighted by the atmosphere of collaboration, inclusivity, openness, and support through interactions and networking opportunities as well as the organic mentorship that it fosters for its members.
As first an Assistant and then an Associate Program Director at Yale University Department of Emergency Medicine, I have significant experience (over a decade) in graduate medical education (GME). As a course direct for the Yale School of Medicine, I also have ample experience in undergraduate medical education (UGME). Furthermore, I currently serve as the Chair for Council of Residency Directors (CORD) APD Community of Practice as well as the liaison for AWAEM to CORD. Thus, I believe that my prior knowledge of both GME and UGME coupled with leadership and involvement experiences would align with what is needed to be an effective AWAEM Vice President of Education.
I feel it is time for me to step up and continue AWAEM’s tradition of being an invaluable resource for EM Educators. I believe I have the experience in both Leadership and Education to serve as the AWAEM Vice President of Education. I want to give back to the AWAEM community by continuing to promote and foster the very reasons I have continued to be a member: collaboration, mentorship, and leadership in Emergency Medicine Education.
