Bryanne Macdonald, MD

I graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Chan Medical School and completed my EM residency at UMass Chan-Baystate Medical Center where I also served as chief resident. I have served as Baystate’s Assistant Clerkship Director for the past two years while completing a Medical Education fellowship and obtaining my Master’s in Health Professions Education from Boston University. Like all members of CDEM, I am passionate about undergraduate education and introducing students to our wonderful specialty. My specific interests include student advising, curriculum design and reform, and pursuing diversity and equity within EM. If elected, I hope to work with the committee to identify and address commonly encountered challenges faced by undergraduate educators, further develop the educational materials provided to CDEM members while incorporating highly effective educational methods, and to disseminate updated advising guidance to those in advising roles in conjunction with CORD. Furthermore, I hope to work with the CDEM community to develop enhanced guidance on equitable application processes and application review to better serve and support all of our learners. As a young educator and physician, it would be an honor to serve as an executive committee member for a community that has already provided so much support and guidance to myself and my colleagues, while providing me the opportunity to help in continuing to improve this wonderful organization.
