Operations Manager/Managing Editor

• Mar 2021 - Present

I am excited to join EM:RAP, the premier source for Emergency Medical education, where I am the new Managing Editor for a revolutionary new online Emergency Medicine textbook, CorePendium. Updated continuously, CorePendium provides life-saving information in the palm of your hand. Once again, it is fulfilling to be associated with a mission-driven organization focusing on education instead of their P&L.
