Evan MillerProgram: Wright State University/Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

Your goal as an EMRA leader: My goal as an EMRA leader is to help highlight all the wonderful opportunities in military Emergency Medicine and promote networking! I believe there are so many incredible possibilities in this area and I hope to make it easier to get involved by connecting interested people with unique opportunities and other motivated physicians. Drawing from my own experience working as an active duty resident with the US Air Force, I hope to get other people as excited about opportunities in military Emergency Medicine as I am!

Why did you get involved in a professional society? I have been involved with EMRA since my first year of medical school! I was so excited to join such a wonderful organization that helps connect people interested in Emergency Medicine with other incredible people and unique opportunities. My first role with EMRA was working with the Medical Student Council (MSC) as the Mentorship Coordinator. Next, I was involved with the International Committee as Vice Chair. I'm now Chair Elect of the Government Services Committee because I love the opportunity to give back to the EM community, and it's so exciting to be involved with incredible physicians and med students with such similar interests to my own!

What is the best advice you've ever received? The best advice I have ever received encouraged me to give my best 100% effort into everything I do. I live my life with the goal of having as few regrets as possible when I'm older. I believe in going after what you want and recognizing that there is no amount of money that can give you a second chance at the opportunities in front of you today. 

What is something people don't know about you? Prior to starting medical school, I worked for two years with the Peace Corps in Ecuador!

If I weren't an emergency physician, I would be: Maybe Internal Medicine or Anesthesia!

What is your favorite hack for night shifts? Try to adjust your sleep schedule as much as possible before starting, then a lot of coffee!

What is the last non-textbook you read? 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Ryan Leone, MSc, Vice Chair of the EMRA Goverment Services Committee, 2025

Ryan Leone, MScProgram: Columbia University

Your goal as an EMRA leader: My three goals with the Government Services Committee are to (1) improve opportunities for medical student involvement in military and federal healthcare, (2) advertise unique opportunities within the federal government that go beyond the military, and (3) increase awareness of organizational and policy changes at DHA and senior service levels.

Why did you get involved in a professional society? I wanted to play an active role in supporting the mission and community of emergency medicine nationally, particularly within the military, that goes beyond what can be done at the institutional or regional level.

What is the best advice you've ever received? My parents always told me to do my best with the things I can change, but to not get flustered by the ones I can't.

What is something people don't know about you? I've had a hobby of performing magic tricks since I was 8 years old!

If I weren't an emergency physician, I would be: I'd start my own affordable travel agency or work in humanitarian aid.

What app on your phone consumes the most of your time? Apple Maps - I'm pretty terrible with directions.

What are your tops songs on your Spotify Wrapped? Admittedly, I'm an Apple Music user, but my obsession with pop punk music means that Silver Lights by In Her Own Words and Chaos by Driveways were my top two.

Tyler McGuire, MS4, Vice Chair of the EMRA Goverment Services Committee, 2025

Your goal as an EMRA leader: As a former Marine and current member of the Vermont Army National Guard, I am deeply interested in how state and federal assets and infrastructure integrate with civilian medical providers and private hospitals to respond to a variety of situations. This collaboration is essential for addressing emergencies effectively, from natural disasters to large-scale public health crises. My goal is to work alongside committee members to explore ways to enhance this cooperation and to build a comprehensive understanding of the work that has already been accomplished in this field. By identifying successful strategies and addressing potential gaps, I aim to contribute to the development of a more seamless and efficient integration process, ensuring that resources and expertise are utilized to their fullest potential.

Why did you get involved in a professional society? I chose to get involved in a professional society because I believe in the transformative power of collaboration among peers to solve complex problems. No single individual, regardless of their expertise, can address every challenge alone. The most significant advancements often emerge when diverse minds come together to share knowledge, perspectives, and experiences. In professional societies, members bring a wealth of expertise from various backgrounds, enabling multidisciplinary approaches to tackling intricate issues. These organizations serve as hubs for exchanging ideas, fostering innovation, and identifying creative solutions. By engaging in these collaborations, I have had the opportunity to learn from others, challenge my assumptions, and contribute to discussions that lead to impactful outcomes. Ultimately, I applied to be a part of EMRA because I want to be part of a collective force that drives progress. It is through collaboration, respect for diverse perspectives, and a commitment to shared learning that we can address the most complex and pressing issues in emergency medicine. 

What is the best advice you've ever received? Be on time with a positive attitude and learn as much as possible. 

What is something that people don't know about you? I really enjoy a good abscess drainage. 

If you weren't an emergency physician, what would you be? Probably go back to flying but maybe public school teacher. 
 
What is the last non-textbook you read? The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich
 
What are your top songs on your Spotify Wrapped? Believe - Mumford and Sons, Take It All Back - Judah and the Lion, Don't Let Me - Morningsiders False, Confidence - Noah Kahan
