The Emergency Medicine Residents' Association (EMRA) was founded in 1976 by a group of Emergency Medicine residents to promote communication and sharing of ideas and information. ACEP provides financial and staff support for the organization. As the organization has matured to a membership exceeding 4,500 residents and students, so have its offerings to its members. EMRA provides several publications, sponsors two teaching fellowships, and maintains a non-voting seat on the Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) Board of Trustees, seats on the ACEP Council and the RRC-EM.

Of particular interest to the Program Director on the EMRA web site:

1. EM Resident newsletter: contains news and issues affecting EM residents. Other publications include an Antibiotic Handbook, Career Planning Guide, Job Catalog, and EM in Focus Handbook. All are available for purchase under the section "Publications" on the title page.

2. Job Search: A catalog of job listings by state.

3. Awards/Grants: A listing of several awards, grants, and scholarships that are available to faculty, residents, and students.

4. Bulletin Boards: For facilitation of networking of Emergency Medicine residents, fellows, and medical students.

5. EM Pearls: Topical essays on choosing a residency, careers in Emergency Medicine, resources for EM residents, and financial advice.
