How I fell in love with emergency medicine: I was initially drawn to emergency medicine as a medical student because of the fast-paced environment and variety. I quickly realized that the ER also had “my people.” I connected quickly with the like-minded nurses, techs and physicians. The team of health care providers is on a much more level playing field than other specialties.
