Diana Bongiorno, MD, MPH

I am a PGY-3 resident in the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency (HAEMR) program at the Massachusetts General and Brigham & Women’s Hospitals. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where I graduated from the Life Sciences and Management dual-degree program between the College and Wharton schools. I then graduated from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and received an MPH from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where I was a TL1 Trainee in the Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program. I am passionate about health equity and working to address social determinants of health in the ED.

I also have a strong interest in the promotion of women in EM. I have been fortunate at each stage of my training to be able to learn from exceptional female mentors. I also currently serve as one of the co-leads of the women’s group within my residency program and have found it fulfilling to plan programming aimed at supporting female residents and fostering community within our residency. Through AWAEM, I am grateful to have had opportunities to collaborate with and learn from women in EM beyond my own institution, and I have particularly enjoyed contributing to the AWAEM Research Committee this year. I would be honored to serve as Resident Member on the AWAEM Executive Committee and work towards increased resident involvement with AWAEM.
