Member-at-Large UT-Southwestern
Biography
I have served on the RAMS Board for two years as the Medical Student Representative and would love to continue my contribution to SAEM as a Member at Large. My contributions to RAMS have included advocating for the member experience on the Membership
Committee and creating initiatives to understand and support medical student engagement in EM.
My goal during my past term was to develop an understanding of medical student engagement in EM. To achieve this goal, I developed an EM interest group (EMIG) survey and initiated the RAMS Regional Ambassador Program that pairs RAMS Board members with each of the SAEM regions. The goals of this program are to better advocate and support the RAMS community, engage students in EM, and add value to the SAEM member experience. If elected to be a member at large, I would be excited to expand the Regional Ambassador Program to residents by providing SAEM mentorship opportunities, research support, and wellness strategies to supplement the incredible work of EM residency programs across the county. In my previous terms on the board, my goal was to advocate for RAMS and I am proud of the 2023-2024 board for creating initiatives to inspire genuine community and listening. Building on the foundation of two years of board experience, I hope to continue the legacy of what RAMS has built and expand it as a Member at Large.
