EMRA Rep to ACEP
Thank you for considering me to serve as your ACEP Representative to the EMRA Board. My background comes with a unique passion for resident advocacy and experience, having served multiple EMRA Committees and projects all throughout residency.
Unlike most applicants, I spent three years assisting EMRA by building an effective mentorship program, writing articles for EM Magazine and serving on multiple committees. As a PGY-4, I will advocate on your behalf as an experienced senior resident. My Master's in Health Policy has also given me an eclectic perspective of our health system and what we’ll need to succeed in the future.
The qualities of a strong leader lie in relevant experience, a history of demonstrated energy, and positive creativity to pursue an agenda that promotes resident membership engagement, advocacy and organization.
I look forward to sharing my vision at ACEP18. You have a difficult decision ahead of you with many strong candidates, so I appreciate your consideration!
