In a time where our global endeavors may be questioned and challenged, it is important now more than ever for GEMA to voice the importance of global collaboration and serve our members by promoting equitable access to membership, collaborating with global colleagues in our academic mission, and supporting mentorship opportunities for faculty at various stages in their careers.

As President elect, I hope to strengthen our academic mission by:

• Assessing the needs of our members and community
• Increasing grant funding opportunities
• Encouraging consensus papers in collaboration with global colleagues
• Supporting mentorship opportunities for all faculty in various stages of their careers
• Promoting equitable access to membership
• Creating a Think Tank that encourages innovation and develops new strategies to promote our mission

Over the past several years I have taken on various roles within our Global Emergency Medicine Academy that serve to improve global delivery of emergency care through research, leadership, education and mentorship. As the GEMA-AWAEM liaison, I helped increase funding for the global physician award that allows our global colleagues to attend SAEM conferences. In my role in the executive committee as a Member at Large, I served as a liaison, provided a unique perspective of member needs, increased our membership, and helped connect members to the wealth of opportunities provided by the Global Emergency Medicine Academy. This year I served as lead author on our GEMA – GEMFC collaborative whitepaper, “COVID 19 Pandemic Prompts a Paradigm Shift in Global Emergency Medicine: Multi-Directional Education and Remote Collaboration”. In addition, I organized and led the GEMA didactic workshop called “Hacks in Austere Environments” in collaboration with our global colleagues. Presently, as Chair of the BEC Committee, we successfully organized the very first GEMA sponsored WHO Basic Emergency Care Training of Trainers (BEC TOT) course, an educational initiative offered to GEMA and SAEM members who will then obtain further certification to train providers in emergency care throughout the world. In an effort to promote global collaboration, the course also included facilitators and participants from various countries.

As president elect, I hope to continue to strengthen our collaboration with global colleagues in a time where multidirectional learning and partnership has become a point of paramount significance. Together we can strength our mission to improve global delivery of emergency care through research, education and mentorship.

In the time I’ve been involved in AWAEM, I have benefitted from mentorship, camaraderie, friendship and inspiration. I am incredibly grateful for the relationships I’ve built and opportunities which have arisen through my work with this amazing community.

My vision, as a nominee for President-Elect of AWAEM is to continue to build upon our commitment to the core foundational principals of AWAEM, through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We must continue to reflect on our challenges with creating truly inclusive spaces for professional development and growth for women in academic emergency medicine. It will be essential for the leadership of AWAEM to continue to reach out to its membership to assess our strengths and our areas for growth and to model receptivity to feedback.

It has been a tremendous honor to serve the AWAEM community over the last few years in the Didactics Committee as well as the vice president of education and I would be grateful for your support as I pursue this leadership role.
