Elyse Fults, MD

I am currently a fourth-year EM resident at Yale New Haven Health, and I am very excited to start as the simulation fellow at Rush University after graduation in 2023. Although education has always been a passion of mine, simulation has emerged as a clear career focus over the course of my residency. My particular interests include medical student foundational education and the interface between educational environment, emotional state, and learning. I believe simulation can play a valuable role in teaching fundamental concepts, as well as in easing transitions between levels of medical training. I have been a member of SAEM since medical school; it would be a privilege to serve in a leadership role in the Simulation Academy, and if elected I would strive to further its mission by promoting the use of simulation in various levels of medical education and encouraging collaborations between simulation teams.
