Ellen Shank, MD

Alternate Councilor
UC Davis Health Emergency Department

Greetings Fellow ACEP YPS Members, I am interested in applying for ACEP YPS Alternate Councillor because I believe that young physicians need to have a strong voice and representation in the college. This year I will serve as an ACEP councilor through my CalACEP health advocacy fellowship position, and have served on executive councils of the CMA-MSS, CMA-RFS and AMA Region 1 MSS; I look forward to continued involvement in the field. From the sometimes-fraught relationship between individual state chapters and the national college, to the everyday challenges ACEP faces in translating clinical problems into policy, I am interested in being in the room where it all happens. I would be excited to see how the world of social EM and EM health policy can overlap with my specific interest in Immigrant Health, and would be honored to represent my fellow young EM physicians on the ACEP council.
