Advocate · Educator · Emergency Medicine

Eric is a Physician Associate and educator with over 14 years of experience in emergency medicine. Most of his work today centers on PA education — he serves as principal faculty in the PA Program at Baylor College of Medicine and as Director of Advanced Practice Development and Academic Affairs for the emergency department. He is passionate about working closely with PA students and helping shape programs that prepare clinicians for the realities of practice.

Advocacy for the PA profession runs equally deep, and he remains actively involved with the American Academy of PAs and the Texas Academy of PAs, where he believes the work done at the organizational level genuinely moves the needle for PAs everywhere. Whether in the department, in the classroom, or at a policy table, his focus stays the same: making the profession stronger for the people coming up behind us.

In 2024, Eric became a Founding Member of the Kaiden Paul Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing awareness, research, and support for Twin Anemia Polycythemia Sequence (TAPS) — a rare and often undetected condition affecting identical twin pregnancies. The foundation holds a special place in his life, and he is committed to helping build something lasting for families navigating this diagnosis.
