EMRA represents emergency medicine trainees in every facet of the specialty. That representation shows up in the work of hundreds of residents, fellows, and medical students who step up to serve as national leaders.
Please help us recognize the people (and their programs) who carried the baton for EM trainees in 2025 – and celebrate our 2026 incoming leaders as well. From webinars to clinical content to in-person training and networking, these leaders make EM trainees shine.
Remember, involvement can be as low-barrier as simply joining a committee to network with like-minded colleagues. We have 22 groups ready to welcome you!
