Salil Phadnis, MD

Hello! My name is Sal Phadnis, I'm a third year EM resident at Florida Atlantic University. In 2024, I'll be starting a simulation fellowship at Indiana University with the goal of pursuing a career in EM GME. I'm currently a vice-chair on EMRA's simulation committee. I offer the perspective and feedback of a resident who has benefited significantly from a strong home sim program and recently traversed the fellowship app cycle.

It seems that a priority for the sim world right now is developing a more collaborative leadership body across different organizations and institutions that can collectively advocate for sim programs, establish standards for sim training, and foster interest in sim/med-ed among medical students and residents. I want to contribute to that goal by using my background to build stronger ties between Sim Academy and EMRA's sim committee, the latter of which i believe has the potential to reach a broader population of residents by virtue of ACEP's sheer size. In particular, my intention is to foster a more visible pathway to sim mentorship for residents and collaborate on exhibits for students and residents at EM conferences to build interest in the various career opportunities in the sim world.
