Rmaah Memon, MD

As secretary, I will aim to promote effective communication, organization, and global mentorship of GEMA’s members. I have been involved with GEMA for several years and have previously served on the Executive Committee as Resident Representative (2022-2023) and IT chair (2024-2025), during which time I piloted initiatives to improve member engagement, including launching GEMA’s official instagram presence. I have also co-chaired the BEC, Digital Health, and AWAEM/GEMA Travel Grant committees for the past two years, through which I have strong ties with GEMA members both in the US and globally.

I’m a second-year Global Emergency Medicine Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, where I have been involved with multiple cross-institutional projects during my fellowship. I completed the six-year B.A./M.D. program at the University of Missouri–Kansas City and completed my residency at the the Harvard Affiliated EM Residency Program at MGH/BWH. My global work centers on training community health workers and physicians in low- and middle-income countries, with a focus on Pakistan, and creating digital tools to advance global emergency medicine education. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to GEMA’s mission and its collaborative spirit. It would be a privilege to continue serving the GEMA community as secretary and supporting its mission to advance emergency care worldwide.
