Youyou Duanmu, MD, MPH

Research Officer Stanford University

Biography

Hi! I am Youyou Duanmu, Co-Director of the ultrasound fellowship at the Stanford University Department of Emergency Medicine. After attending medical school at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and emergency medicine residency at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, I completed an ultrasound fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital as well as an MPH concentrating in Quantitative Research Methods at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

I have been an active member of SAEM for 11 years and have also been heavily involved in AEUS endeavors, including leading a Sonogames Round 2 station, being a recipient of an AEUS SAEMF research grant and winning two SAEMMIES. Over the past three years, I have been a part of the SAEM Research Committee where I have been subcommittee lead for three objectives focusing on promoting membership understanding of federal research funding and optimizing SAEM research focused didactics. I currently review for AEM Education & Training. My areas of research interest include ultrasound education, critical care ultrasound and clinical trials. I have collaborated with multiple AEUS members from across the country on POCUS focused publications, presentations, lectures, and panel discussions, and have experience with research partnerships across departments including Internal Medicine, Trauma and Computer Science.

I am a passionate advocate for ultrasound research and hope to serve as Research Officer of AEUS to help advance the collaborative and innovative potential of POCUS research. If elected, I hope to grow and amplify awareness of the endeavors of our academy, including resources for research methods and statistics, navigating IRB submissions, finding supportive mentorship, and applying for grants. I would like to expand our support of research partnerships so that we can increase the impact of EM POCUS research by generating more large scale, multi-center trials. I would also love to grow our research mentorship network to improve the diversity of our academic pursuits. I would like to see the process of becoming a grant funded ultrasound researcher become more feasible and approachable for our members. I especially enjoy encouraging the academic ambitions of trainees and would like to encourage resident and fellow submissions for SAEM presentations and funding. Above all, I am passionate about supporting the field of academic emergency ultrasound and all those who love it. Thank you for your consideration!
