EMIG Leadership

The responsibilities of the student leadership positions are flexible and determined by each incoming cabinet.  Ideally, the co-presidents represent a member of the first/second year and a member of the third/fourth year.  The main duties entail coordination of activities and to serve as the liaison with the faculty advisor.  The treasurer is the representative with the Whitehead Society, and is responsible for submitting the budget and other required funding forms in a timely manner.  The secretary is the communication link between the cabinet and the general membership, maintaining both the address book and the website for the EMIG.  Any officer may be contacted using the email links below.

The advisors serve as invaluable resources for students interested in Emergency Medicine.  In addition to providing guidance, support, and information about the field, they also make possible the clinics, guest speakers, and other learning activities we hold throughout the year.
