I hope to advocate for GEMAs role in coordinating research processes and agendas. I think that GEMA can serve a critical role by helping to provide structure and coordination from a top-down level, as well as set priorities/agendas for the medium and long-term. I have worked clinically globally since 2007 and been an active researcher in global health since 2012, having won the EMF International Grant in 2015. There is an abundance of energy and enthusiasm is global EM efforts, but this same resource can lead to a lot of atomized efforts that don't clearly further an overall research or development agendas. As a researcher in global health over the last decade, it has become increasingly clear to me that GEMA could serve a role to advocate and coordinate scattered academic EM efforts into a more coherent role that would allow us to interface with larger governmental and non-governmental agencies to create a greater impact. Helping to create lasting structures to provide overarching support and direction for educational, research and advocacy efforts (including methods support, quality control, ethical considerations, etc.) will help unite more senior and junior members to allow them to benefit from each other. Specifically, I think that with the rapid expansion of emergency medicine in sub-Saharan Africa, there is room for GEMA to assist with development (e.g., quality indicators) and research (e.g., standardized data collection and ED registry efforts across regions).
