Samantha Baker, Candidate Member
General Surgery
University of Alabama
Hi, my name is Samantha Baker and I am a PGY 5 General Surgery Resident at UAB and future trauma fellow at LSU. One of the things I hope to center my early career around is educating and mentoring the next generation of surgeons when I complete residency/fellowship training. I was fortunate during my surgery training that I was able to take dedicated research time to pursue a degree in Health Professions Education, serve as Education Chief for the residency program, and serve on the Surgery Residency Review Committee for the ACGME. I hope these experiences will give me a unique perspective and ability to serve the AAS on the Education Committee. In addition, attending the fall courses as a junior resident was awesome and I would love to be involved in helping them continue and grow. I would appreciate your consideration for the Education Committee.
