Michelle Hughes, MD

I completed medical school at University of Maryland and Emergency Medicine Residency at the University of Chicago. I completed my simulation fellowship at Rush/Cook County and have been Medical Director of Simulation at University of Wisconsin since 2020. I am the fellowship director as well and now have taken over Faculty and APP maintenance of credentialing. I have been a member at large of the SAEM Sim Academy for the last 1.5 years and a part of the education subcommittee. Have also started becoming more involved with AWAEM as the simulation liaison and hoping to continue to build that relationship. Have been able to be involved and learn about the inner workings of the Sim Academy, have been able to collaborate with many members of the Sim Academy as well as have built relationships with simulationists nationally.. Hoping to continue to push forward the agenda of collaboration and projects, especially engaging new resident and fellow members. Hoping to increase awareness of the academy and membership, as well as facilitate more collaboration nationally. Would love to continue to build the network of simulationists, not only for projects but also for mentorship. Have started to do some work with simulation in the realm of DEI and would hope to continue to collaborate with ADIEM in this working group that has been formed.
