Nora McNulty, MD

I am Nora McNulty, current PGY4 and Conference Education Chief Resident at the Jacobi-Montefiore emergency medicine residency program. I have also been honored to have been chosen as the simulation fellow for Vanderbilt University Medical Center for the 2024-25 year. My role as chief resident, specifically in the world of conference education, has given me experience in a developing a year-long curriculum for junior and senior residents, developing new and innovative ways to teach emergency medicine topics, and to invite lecturers from outside institutions to our program. This experience has given me many tools in the fields of planning/development, communications and public & media relations, and organizational development.

I am running for office in an effort to build on the goals already set in place by the simulation academy through its mission statement. The portion of the mission statement most important to me and why I am running is to advance the role of simulation as an effective method for competency in emergency medicine among learners. Throughout my time in residency, I have played a role in designing unique simulation experiences that use simulation not only as a tool to grasp bread and butter emergency medicine topics, but also to develop a greater understanding of the greater world of medicine - one outside of diagnosis and treatment. My interest in simulation lies in how simulation can be used as a tool to bridge the gap between patients and their providers; opening up worlds to our learners that they may not have otherwise come in contact with.
