Michelle Hughes, MD

Did medical school at University of Maryland and Emergency Medicine Residency at 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 education as well. I started as a member at large on the Simulation Academy getting involved with the committee. I was also a member of the education subcommittee. I have also started becoming more involved with AWAEM as the simulation liaison and hoping to continue to build that relationship. I have served in the role as Secretary of the Sim Academy for the last year and have continued to build relationships and collaborate with simulationist nationally. I also serve on the EM section of SSH. I feel I have had enough national involvement and connections that I could serve the board and the members well.

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.
