My name is Emilie! I was born and raised in France before moving to the US. I did my EM residency training at WashU in Saint Louis and am currently completing my medical toxicology fellowship at OHSU. I became interested in hospital operation my last year of residency when I had a chance to sit and participate in a number of departmental discussions.
