Evan is a graduate of Baylor College of Medicine and a current emergency medicine resident at Yale. He initially became excited about medical simulation from his training as an advanced EMT prior to medical school. During his first year in medical school, he pursued that interest on a team with four classmates which took first place at both national and international competitions for medical simulation. The following year, he developed the first formal simulation curriculum for Baylor medical students. In 2016 he founded the Student Initiative in Medical Simulation (SIMS) and designed and authored a SIMS Primer with the intent of giving medical students greater access to affordable education through simulation. Over the past several years, he has continued to work hard to help students nationwide benefit from simulation by presenting his work at multiple conferences, publishing a new casebook with nearly 70 interactive cases, and hosting several SIMS National Conferences. Outside of medicine, Evan enjoys rock climbing with his wife Emma and continues to play ice hockey competitively.
