What Dr. Quinn will bring to the CORD Board of Directors:
As a dual Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine resident at a tertiary institution, I bring a unique leadership perspective that bridges acute and longitudinal care. My training has taught me to act decisively in moments of crisis while anticipating the long-term needs of patients once they enter the hospital. This dual exposure fosters independence, systems thinking, and foresight — qualities that allow me to work alongside all fields of medicine effectively, communicate across disciplines, and form a sense of comradery amongst both my EM and IM colleagues.
The modern emergency physician must be prepared to manage patients beyond the traditional bounds of the ED, providing extended, anticipatory care that ensures stability and continuity. My dual training and desire to place more EM trained physicians in rural communities is my motivation to broaden the exposure of EM, encourage participation in longitudinal care, and erase the disconnect from stabilization to hospitalized.
