Director of Health Policy

The clinical practice of emergency medicine takes place in a complex landscape which includes patient care, policy, and politics. As prospective Director of Health Policy for the EMRA Board of Directors, it is my aim to understand this landscape, facilitate meaningful and productive discussion on policy, and most importantly, advise on policy which furthers the objectives of our membership. Over the course of the last year, we have witnessed first hand the importance of focused, productive conversation and advocacy. We have had the opportunity to create and shape policy which has protected and served both residents and patients nationwide. Our time in training has looked much different than we anticipated, but our adaptability and advocacy on behalf of our colleagues has changed the landscape of training for the better for the coming generations of trainees.

As an EMRA Health Policy Fellow, I have had the opportunity to participate in many town hall discussions, author several resolutions which advocate for the protection of emergency medicine residents, and chair the CORD Reference Committee. I look forward to continued involvement in EMRA and hope to have the opportunity to do so as a member of EMRA’s Board of Directors.
