Sarah Elizabeth Keene, MD, PhD

I am the current geriatric emergency medicine fellow at Beaumont Health in Royal Oak, Michigan. I have a PhD in virology from the University of Michigan as well as an MD from Wayne State University. Beaumont has a very strong geriatric emergency medicine history, with a geriatric emergency medicine fellowship since 1998. I have been involved in our geriatric emergency medicine initiatives since my intern year, including our accreditation as a Level 2 geriatric emergency eepartment in 2020. I have presented our research into the benefits of our geriatric emergency medicine assessment team at ACEP and SAEM, and have several additional research projects involving older adults ongoing. I joined the AGEM didactics committee this year and have found the work of putting together didactic proposals for SAEM to be very rewarding. As AGEM secretary, I would continue to work together with AGEM members to accomplish our goals of improving geriatric emergency care by promoting AGEM’s educational opportunities at the medical school, residency, and fellowship levels.
