eLEAD Testimonial
Laura Oh, MD
Associate Professor at Emory University
What unique benefits does the eLEAD program provide for participants?
The eLEAD program participants work in small groups with emergency medicine leaders - chairs, deans, presidents of national
Dr. Laura Oh EM organizations, who have decades of experience and insight into what makes an outstanding leader. Many of the class participants are mid-career -- some feel "stuck," some are facing major career branching points, some have been elevated to leadership roles they don't feel quite qualified for. The eLEAD program provides a safe haven for discussion, learning, and growth through a combination of small group teaching, peer to peer mentoring, and reflection.
So far, how has eLEAD impacted your work and career trajectory?
The eLEAD program has given me the courage to change, to try new things even though I might fail. The supportive course directors and peers give invaluable advice for how to work through difficult scenarios. I value the quality time the eLEAD course allows us to set aside monthly to pause for development and reflection.
Who is the ideal candidate for this program, and why would you recommend it to them?
The ideal candidate for the program is an emerging leader with prior leadership responsibilities either in their home institution or through national EM organizations. The candidate should be willing to commit to the process, be vulnerable and sincere, and be a generous listener and supporter of their classmates. I would recommend this course as the best leadership course I have ever taken.
The year-long Emerging Leader Development (eLead) course provides emerging leaders in academic emergency medicine with a structured, longitudinal experience designed to develop foundational leadership skills, cultivate a meaningful career network, and build a bridge to countless opportunities in their field. Apply today, and visit the eLEAD website for details.

Start the year off right! Join SAEMF’s Annual Alliance and support more researchers / educators like Dr. Ryan Pedigo as they make a difference in emergency medicine’s future.
“This grant was transformative for me. I had pursued multiple different career development programs since graduating (the UCLA Medical Education Fellowship, the Stanford Faculty Development program, etc.), but, I had never had formal training in medical education research. Being allowed protected time to obtain a Master of Health Professions Education degree and focusing on medical education research methods and working with my mentor Dr. Wendy Coates has been a wonderful experience. Since getting this additional training, I feel much more well rounded as a scholarly educator and am going to be able to give back so much more for the rest of my career.” – Ryan Pedigo, MD, MHPE, Associate Residency Program Director, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center; Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and SAEMF Education Research Grant Recipient
