Lauren D. Branditz, MD

Greetings fellow ultrasound enthusiasts! I am seeking your vote for AEUS Treasurer. I am an ultrasound fellowship-trained emergency medicine physician working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I am a member of my department’s Core Education Faculty group and an Assistant Director of our Division of Ultrasound. I also served as a representative on my department’s Board of Managers for 4 years. Through these positions, I gained experience with budget planning, large group organization, and event planning. I would love to use these skills for the benefit of our Academy of Emergency Ultrasound. I am passionate about medical education, particularly that focused on point-of-care ultrasound. I firmly believe that the continued dissemination of ultrasound knowledge in medical education will improve the safety and outcomes of our patients. It can also be leveraged to help our medical student, resident, fellow, practicing physician, and other healthcare colleagues to garner a deeper understanding of concepts. AEUS pushes the boundaries of ultrasound-related medical education. I have experienced this through some of my favorite experiences with AEUS, including through my involvement in SonoGames as a Station Creator.

I am thrilled by the possibility of gaining a leadership position in this organization. If elected, I will use my administrative experiences described above to help make AEUS even more successful. I am excited to utilize the relationships I have built through my involvement in SAEM and various other national organizations to maintain our educational initiatives and expand them to become even more impactful. I hope you will grant me the honor of acting as your representative. Together we can make ultrasound in medical education even better.
