Corey S. Hazekamp, MD, MS

My higher education began in Boulder, CO where I attended the University of Colorado as an undergraduate prior to matriculating at the University of Illinois in Chicago for medical school. Currently, I am a PGY-3 at Lincoln Medical Center in the South Bronx. My qualifications for the RAMS Board include strategic planning, experience with fundraising, and planning/development. While at the University of Colorado, I was president of the triathlon team which consisted of approximately 120 co-ed athletes. As president, I managed the team budget, organized weekly practices, and arranged travel to the regional and national championships. Prior to medical school I was a research coordinate for a PECARN investigator at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. As such, I managed several IRBs and oversaw participant recruitment for two active studies. For over a decade, I have ridden in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge, a bike-a-thon, which is the largest athletic fundraiser in the country, and I have personally raised over $50,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer institute over this timespan. My planning and development skills have allowed me to write three IRBs during residency, all of which are approved; two of which are nearing completion.

My SAEM experience includes being granted a SAEM Foundation (SAEMF) sponsored National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) funded Mentor Facilitated Training (MFT) award in the Fall of 2021, during my intern year with Dr. Dana Sacco and Dr. Bernard Chang serving as my mentors. I have published multiple articles in the SAEM Pulse. Currently, I am a resident reviewer for the SAEM Grants Committee and am enrolled as a member of the 2023-2024 cohort for the SAEM Advanced Research Methodology Evaluation and Design course.

I am running for office to help improve the future of academic emergency medicine. Through participation in the SAEMF NIDA MFT award and the SAEM resident reviewer program, I have built a network of mentors within academic emergency medicine. As my career goals include remaining in academic emergency medicine and continuing with a focus on research, I hope to further advance the field of emergency medicine research. Several goals I hope to accomplish, if elected to the SAEM RAMS Board, are (1) increase interest in emergency medicine research starting at the medical student level, (2) help improve resources to aid residents with starting and completing research projects. and (3) increase access to mentorship and research funding for medical student and residents interested in research.
