EM RISE was built by emergency physicians who understand what it takes to train here, serve here, and build a career here—because they've lived it themselves.

Our Leadership

Our leadership brings together emergency physicians, educators, researchers, mentors, and community advocates committed to strengthening emergency medicine in Las Vegas. They know that exceptional residency training requires more than clinical experience alone. It takes mentorship, research opportunities, professional development, community connection, and people willing to invest in the physicians who will care for Nevada next.

The People We're Investing In

EM RISE exists because of them.

Our emergency medicine residents care for Las Vegas on its hardest days. They train in one of the nation's most dynamic communities, learning to care for patients across every age, background, and circumstance.

They are physicians, researchers, educators, mentors, military officers, community volunteers, spouses, parents, friends, and neighbors.

They are also the future of emergency medicine in Nevada.
