Jeanne Rabalais, MD, MHA

Hello! My name is Jeanne Rabalais and I am a PGY-2 at the University of Florida – Jacksonville. I am a proud alumnus of Tulane University where I majored in Psychology. Prior to medical school, I completed my Master’s Degree in Health Administration and completed a one-year Administrative Residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. I then completed medical school at the same institution before moving to Florida for residency. I have the qualifications and experience to help ensure the successful future of academic emergency medicine through this organization. During my Administrative Residency, I had the opportunity to serve on several boards throughout the hospital, develop departmental budgets, and advance strategic plans hospital-wide. In medical school, I served as Vice President of our Associated Student Government and as a member of the Academic House Leadership Council. But most notably, I was the Executive Director of 12th Street Health and Wellness Center, a student-run interprofessional free clinic. I have continued my leadership efforts through residency serving on our program’s evaluation committee, and wellness committee, and leading our recruitment and social media committee. I am also the current Chair of the EMRA Leadership Academy and our program’s FCEP representative. I have been an SAEM member since deciding on emergency medicine in medical school. I continued my membership in residency and have recently applied to join committees since confirming I want to practice academic medicine. I have recently become more involved in AWAEM and will be aiding their social media committee. As our specialty is at a pivotal place in its evolution, I believe this organization is uniquely positioned to direct its path and I am running for office to be a more impactful voice in this evolution. If elected, I will advance the RAMS strategic plan while instituting new goals and objectives in light of the changing landscape of academic emergency medicine, with a specific focus on professional development and medical student and resident advocacy. I commit to ensuring the medical student and resident voice is heard and elevated and that the future of academic emergency medicine is fully cultivated. I appreciate your support of my candidacy.
