Congratulations to Dr. Kyra Reed for winning the 2016 AWAEM Travel Scholarship.

Dr. Reed completed medical school at Indiana University and is currently a four year resident in a combined Emergency Medicine-Pediatrics Residency at Indiana University. Dr. Reed’s letter of recommendation made clear her commitment to patients  – including her drawing out medicine regimens for an entire week’s worth of care for patients who were illiterate or overwhelmed. She was recommended for her tireless advocacy, chairing the advocacy track at IU and running the vulnerable patient track which has quarterly didactics that speak to health equity. She was described  as the whole package: kind, smart, perceptive and hilarious.

Congratulations Dr. Reed!
