I am a third year medical student at UT Southwestern going into EM, and I am excited to pursue my interests in Quality Improvement and Ultrasound. I have been involved in SAEM since my first year of medical school in a variety of capacities. I have submitted abstracts to present at the annual meeting and served as a Medical Student Ambassador. Serving on the RAMS board has been an enriching experience that I have deeply enjoyed. Specifically, I have valued my experience in serving as the RAMS liaison to the Membership Committee. The focus groups I helped to facilitate and analyze as a member of the Membership Committee enhanced my understanding of how RAMS and faculty can get the most out of their SAEM membership. I am eager to use this experience to determine how RAMS can optimally support students interested in EM through focused surveys. I would use these surveys to inspire EMIG event ideas and ensure that RAMS is meeting the needs of medical students interested in EM.
