Sara Schulwolf, MD, MPH

Hi! My name is Sara Schulwolf; I am a graduate of UConn medical school and am currently a PGY-1 at the Harvard-Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency program in Boston. I have had the privilege of serving on the RAMS board for the past two years and am excited to be seeking re-election for a third term. If re-elected, I promise to continue to use this position to help highlight the best that EM has to offer and to help provide the highest quality mentorship, research, and learning opportunities to our members.

During my two years on the RAMS board, I have served as liaison to the research committee and seen first-hand how EM physicians are contributing to evidence-based medicine. It has been one of the most rewarding parts of being a RAMS board member to help connect interested students and residents with like-minded faculty, as well as to showcase the amazing work of our membership through PULSE articles, podcasts, and webinars. I have also participated in multiple projects aimed at keeping our membership up to date on important developments within our field. As an example, over the last two years I have had the opportunity to participate in a task force through CORD APIC aimed at preparing for the transition of EM applications from ERAS to Residency CAS. I organized multiple webinars with representatives from both CORD and ResidencyCAS to answer student questions about both the transition and the application process. In doing so, my goal was to support our student members through an already stressful process by reinforcing that RAMS would be there every step of the way.

The next couple of years are likely to be a time of significant change for EM residents as new ACGME requirements crystalize and the new oral boards format takes shape. Having a trusted source of up-to-date information can help ease some of the tensions that arise from these transitions. If re-elected, I will help maintain the RAMS board as this vital resource to ensure that our membership feels both informed and supported throughout their training journey and beyond.
