ADIEM Launches Operations Committee
The SAEM Academy for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Medicine has launched the ADIEM Operations Committee to develop tools for emergency medicine operational leaders to evaluate and improve their care for all patients. In our inaugural year, the committee will begin to research, develop, and disseminate metrics that operational leaders can use to request funding, demonstrate the benefits of interventions designed to provide equitable care, and potentially evaluate the return on investment for this work. The committee will also begin building a repository of potential operational interventions to support equitable care for all patients. If you are interested in joining the ADIEM Operations Committee, please contact Dr. Meagan Hunt at mehunt@wakehealth.edu.

AAAEM: Who We Are and What We Do
Individually, the administrators are your partners and colleagues. We work closely with chairs and senior leadership within a department. We often act as liaisons to the school of medicine or a health system C-Suite. We are also the lead staff person in your department, responsible for managing financial and human resource functions. Some of us have clinical responsibilities. Some may have more focus on research or education. Our specific roles are dependent on the how our institutions define the title, however we are key members of a department.
As an SAEM academy, the AAAEM works closely with SAEM and the Association of Academic Chairs of Emergency Medicine (AACEM) to develop a yearly AACEM/AAAEM Annual Retreat. The purpose of the retreat is to renew and strengthen the ties that exist between chairs and administrators. It is also a networking opportunity for our members. The retreat has also been extended to AAAEM affiliate members as well. Often, these are staff members who have been identified as future administrators. We are currently in the planning stages and are accepting registrations for our 2023 AACEM/AAAEM Annual Retreat, to be held March 19-22, 2023, in Laguna, California.
The AAAEM developed a Certificate in Academic Emergency Medicine Administration (CAEMA) program in 2017 and has
now graduated three classes. We are currently recruiting for our fourth cadre, which will start in March 2023. The program covers four content areas: academics, human capital, personal development, and practice operations. The program faculty include experienced administrators, chairs, and other experts. In addition to CAEMA, our education committee also offers online sessions throughout the year to our general membership. AAAEM has partnered with AACEM to develop, build, and manage the Benchmark Survey, an annual survey participating institutions can use to compare themselves with similar institutions around the country. The focus areas of the survey Amy Jameson, MPhil, MA, MBA include clinical, research, and education, as well as a section
AAAEM President that includes faculty salaries. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we added a survey strictly related to COVID that spans two full years. We have partnered with Roundtable Analytics to provide the platform for the benchmark data. Institutions that participate in the survey have access to the tool and the support of Roundtable staff and benchmark committee members. AAAEM members benefit from being involved in the academy and are encouraged to participate in at least one of our several active committees: executive, benchmark, communications, education, membership, strategic planning, wellness, IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Antiracism), and/or nominating. In summary, the members of AAAEM are a diverse group of people who tend to have significant institutional knowledge and a broad understanding of the systems where we work. We believe our roles are to support the different missions in emergency medicine. AAAEM was established to help further our profession and to provide opportunities for our members.
