EMRA Board of Directors

The EMRA Board of Directors is the governing body of the organization, comprising 12 members who are elected by their peers while completing their residency. Three additional positions on the Board can be filled by appointment: an Ex-Officio member and liaisons to the ACGME RC-EM and AMA.
