It is with great sadness that INDUSEM mourns the tragic passing of President Dr. Kevin Rodgers of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine.
Dr. Rodgers was an Academic Leader from the Indiana University Emergency Medicine Department.
“Throughout the course of his career, Dr. Rodgers demonstrated incredible leadership and dedication to AAEM, serving faithfully on the board of directors for 12 years as an at-large member, secretary-treasurer, vice president and most recently, as president. He has been an integral part of AAEM’s educational programs and was a tireless champion for the organization.He touched thousands of emergency medicine residents throughout his career in his roles as an educator and program director.Kevin was also a veteran of the U.S. Army, where he served with distinction for over 10 years before honorably separating at the rank of Major.” Wrote AAEM President Elect Dr. David Farcey.
