Katie Hunold Buck, MD

I am an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at The Ohio State University with a research focus on older adults and I serve as the Director of Geriatric Emergency Care overseeing our Level 1 Geriatric ED. I I have been involved in AGEM since I was an undergraduate student and I have served as the Medical Student Representative, Resident Representative and am currently a Member-At-Large. I am also currently a member of the Membership & Communications Committee and help oversee the AGEM website. Within SAEM I have also served on the RAMS Executive Board. These previous positions have provided me with experience working as part of an executive board, geriatric-specific training within emergency medicine and mentors and collaborators within geriatric emergency medicine. In addition, I an understanding of what is required of an AGEM President. At every stage of my career thus far, I have benefitted from AGEM and its members and my goal if elected as President-Elect will be to ensure that AGEM continues to advance the careers of each member. My experience has been that everyone within AGEM truly wants to make those around them successful and I want to ensure this continues. During the years I have been on the Executive Committee, this has been most evident with the focus on improving AGEM resources and support for students, residents/fellows and early career physicians through projects such as the RAMS Geriatric Road Map, the Geriatric Leaders Web Event, and recent website resource updates. I hope to build off the work being done now and the work that will be done during my President-Elect year to continue to build the AGEM arsenal of resources and support.
