President-Elect
Hello EMRA!
2,278. This is the number of EM PGY1 positions in 2018, representing the 4th largest specialty and >25% increase over the past 4 years. Now, more than ever, we have the ability to shape the future of our specialty and the (wo)manpower to improve medicine as a whole with as robust an institution as we’ve become.
As an Education Committee Vice Chair and Leadership Academy participant, I’ve witnessed how impactful EMRA can be. From on-shift resources like the pressor guide on my badge, to mentorship opportunities, to travel scholarships for national conferences, EMRA does it all! Yet, there is no question in my mind where the true value of EMRA lies – it’s you!
Resident-driven projects, from the famous antibiotic guide to the newer EMRA Match, are why EMRA is so special. As President-Elect, my primary aim would be to foster the brilliant ideas and passions that already exist in our members. I offer my unconditional support and promise to be an advocate for you, our specialty, and our patients, so EMRA may continue to affect change for us as trainees and for our practice of emergency medicine.
I humbly request your vote. It would be an honor to serve you!

Wilderness on the Water: MedWAR 2022
EMRA members met at Lake Chabot Regional Park near San Francisco on Oct. 4 to compete in MedWAR, the annual test of medical knowledge, wilderness skills, and endurance. The sunny temperate climate of the West Coast was certainly a welcome relief compared to the blustery conditions during MedWAR 2021 in Boston. The roughly 11-mile course circled the lake, taking competitors from scenarios on the water to panoramic views of the City by the Bay.
