Shacelles Bonner, MD

Fellow Yale New Haven Hospital

Biography

I am currently a Chief resident and a rising Yale Simulation Fellow for the 2023-24 academic year. I hope to hold the position of executive fellow because I am passionate about the utilization and expansion of simulation as it relates to medical education, research and patient care.

The true potential of simulation remains untapped because many of the programs are comparatively new and continue to function largely in silos. As executive fellow, I will help foster a collegial environment on a national level. I hope to facilitate a channel in which simulation enthusiasts nationwide can come together to use simulation as a medical education tool.

Although this will be my first active role in SAEM, I have been a member of a few SAEM communities including simulation, diversity and inclusion in addition to global emergency medicine. On a local level, I have functioned on various boards including as co-president of the Yale Women’s Housestaff Organization and co-chair of the Yale Emergency Medicine Diversity Committee.
