We had an AMAZING kick-off this week at the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD) Academic Assembly, welcoming our NEW 2018-19 ALiEM Faculty Incubator Class of Educator-Scholars! We received applications from across the country and internationally from budding scholars with a broad range of background and experiences. We narrowed it down to the top 32 applicants, who we know are rising leaders in education scholarship.

These 32 people were not the only ones with star potential. We are grateful for the numerous applicants, but are also sad to have to turn down some of our other applicants. We wish that we could have brought ALL of them on our team. We hope that they re-apply next year and/or connect with us down the road to let us know how you are doing. We are always happy to serve as a sounding board.
