Jane Kim, MD, EdD

Vice President of Membership Kings County Hospital Center/SUNY Downstate

Biography

I had the honor of serving on the SAEM Simulation Academy Executive Committee for the past 2 years as a member-at-large. In this role, I was part of a group that observed, studied, led, and supported simulation activities during the time of COVID. I enjoyed the thought partnership and support provided by the other members of the executive committee when we were all isolated. When we got together over Zoom, we talked about our struggles and successes in both the clinical and simulation education domain. These discussions gave me the strength to continue with my simulation activities and even publish; they made me realize I was part of a greater Emergency Medicine simulation education community.

As the VP of Membership, I would like to promote and leverage our network of Emergency Medicine simulation educators. I hope that we can all experience the strength from the membership of the Simulation Academy. In order to accomplish this goal, I would like to continue working with the VP of Social Media & Communication on a couple of projects. The first project would be to improve the user experience and content of the Simulation Academy webpage. The second project would be to create a searchable membership map to facilitate networking for mentorship and research. Through these two projects, Simulation Academy members will easily be able to take advantage of our membership’s diverse interests and experiences. I truly believe if we want to go far, we must go together.
