Volunteer Opportunities
Make an Impact With AANEM
Hundreds of NM and EDX experts volunteer their time and expertise to serve on a variety of AANEM committees and task forces each year. These volunteers make it possible for AANEM to achieve its mission to improve the quality of patient care and advance the science of NM diseases and EDX medicine.
Get involved this year to build meaningful connections with other members, immerse yourself in the latest science, and make an impact in the NM and EDX community.
Explore the committee brochure to learn more, and volunteer to join a group that fits your interests and experience.

Program Director Committee
As a member of the Program Director Committee (PDC), you will support Training Program Directors (TPDs) by enhancing NM and EDX medicine, and ultrasound (US) training. Your work will improve trainee education, strengthen the AANEM Training Program Partnership (TPP), and promote program director membership and engagement. You will also help develop sessions for the AANEM Annual Meeting to meet ACGME professional development requirements, guide the creation of fellowship training resources, and collaborate on initiatives to expand the NM medicine workforce. Your contributions will shape the future of NM education and ensure high-quality training for the next generation of specialists.
This committee meets yearly at the AANEM Annual Meeting. Additional commitment outside of the meeting is approximately 5-10 hours per year.

You will get opportunities to actively participate regardless of your institutional affiliation, academic rank, or career stage. When you join, do not hesitate to come forward with new ideas, or volunteer yourself for committee roles. You will be heard. You will be given an opportunity to thrive and give back.”
Elie Naddaf, MD
In an ever-changing world of medical practice–and especially when there are so many and so varied assaults on the quality of EDX medicine–I have found it rewarding to be a part of efforts and programs to meet these challenges. Being on committees and being involved in the AANEM helps me feel I am helping and a part of the solution.
