Biography
Thank you for considering me for a secretary position on CDEM’s executive committee! I graduated from the University of Virginia School of Medicine and completed my EM residency training at the University of Maryland. I have served as Georgetown’s EM clerkship director since 2016. I have been a member of CDEM’s Visiting Students Task Force, and chaired that group in 2019-2020.
If elected to the CDEM Executive Committee, I will advocate continuing the exceptional progress CDEM has made to build us all up to succeed as clerkship directors. I credit CDEM for building the relationships and resources that I leverage to position and inspire our students to thrive. I firmly believe in cultivating equity and inclusion in our various clerkships, celebrating the diversity of our students, patients, and our faculty. As a member of the Executive Committee, I will champion the sharing of best practices related to equity initiatives within CDEM. This includes developing a toolkit to reduce bias in the assessment and evaluation of our students. I will also work with CDEM leadership to improve how our specialty handles away rotation applications, making for a fairer and more transparent process for both our students and clerkship directors. COVID has also highlighted pressing challenges surrounding medical student advising. Too many students struggled this year applying to our speciality. I will give voice for greater consensus in an approach to mentoring students that allows all our learners to succeed.
