Overview
About CalEMRA
CalEMRA is an independent resident organization supported by California ACEP's staff.
Resident Representation with California ACEP
California ACEP was among the first chapters to make resident representation on its Board of Directors a permanent feature of our governance. The CalEMRA President is a full voting member of the Board and is the voice of California's residents in leadership.
Each year, resident members of CalEMRA/California ACEP vote to elect a President-Elect who shadows the CalEMRA President for one year before taking over as the President.
