Stephen J. Wolf, MD

It would be an honor to represent you as a Member-at-Large on the AACEM Executive Committee. For the past seven years, I have served as Chair of Emergency Medicine at Denver Health and significantly participated in our Academy. I currently co-direct the SAEM/AACEM Emerging Leaders Development (eLEAD) Program and lead the AACEM Leadership Development Working Group.

My background prioritizes service and commitment to our patients, learners, providers, and specialty. I am passionate about developing and aligning effective individuals, teams, and communities to multiply their impact and achieve outcomes. Each of my past and current roles has helped me develop the skills needed to advance that work. Locally, I have served as Program Director, Director of Education, Assistant then Associate Dean of UME, Vice Chair of Academic Affairs, and an appointed member on our Board’s Finance and Academic Committees. Nationally, I have served as an ACEP state chapter president, chair of CORD’s Academy for Scholarship, and Chair of ACEP’s Clinical Policy Committee. I continue to serve as an ABEM oral examiner and a member of ABEM’s Key Advanced Practice Committee.

AACEM is a remarkable community with a profound commitment to supporting and developing our academic departments and specialty. We are unique in the power of our collective voice, and we must use that voice to influence the issues that matter most to our learners, faculty, and departments. Learners must feel drawn to an inclusive and vibrant specialty; faculty need wellness, safety, and developmental resources; and departments must have the tools necessary to address challenges and meaningfully serve their communities.

If elected, I would focus on strengthening our internal developmental opportunities and amplifying our external impact. These two aims are linked: growing our members strengthens our collective voice.
