WAIT!! Before reaching out to the governing council, check out the many opportunities we offer for students:
Nick is a medical student from the University of Florida and has also been an anesthesiologist assistant for 10 years prior to medical school. Having served in national leadership positions as an AA, he is very excited to bring that experience to the ASA MSC. His goals and interests include promoting ASA membership among medical students and creating a library of resources to help medical students understand the importance of professional advocacy and how government, legislation, and regulation affects the practice of anesthesiology. He also wants to create opportunities for ASA medical student members to become active participants in these advocacy efforts by working with state societies to include medical students in their interactions with elected officials.
Iman Soliman is currently a third-year medical student at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. She graduated from Temple University with a bachelor's degree in Neuroscience. As a student who worked hard to increase anesthesiology representation in her medical school curriculum, Iman hopes to support initiatives to increase medical student education and engagement with the ASA. She has a particular interest in pediatric anesthesiology and wants to create opportunities for students to learn about subspecialties in anesthesiology, given the changing landscape of the field. In her free time, Iman enjoys baking, traveling, and spending time with her family and friends.
Sarah Sun is a fourth-year medical student at Rush Medical College in Chicago. She graduated with a major in Biochemistry and Molecular Science and a minor in Chicana/o Studies from University of California, Davis. As an immigrant and a first generation college graduate, Sarah experienced firsthand how personal support from mentors can help students to overcome obstacles and build up chances for success. As the Delegate to the AMA, she hopes to reach out to more individuals who are in need of resources, create network opportunities to increase medical student involvement and work collaboratively with members of AMA to serve our members and students. Her goal as a future physician is to reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes among underserved and vulnerable populations. Beside medicine, Sarah enjoys rock climbing, snowboarding and going on adventures in nature.
Sarah is from Bethesda, MD and is currently a third year medical student at Howard University College of Medicine. She graduated from Cornell University in 2019 with a B.S. in Human Biology, Health & Society. After graduation, she hopes to train in Pediatric Anesthesiology.

Shyam is originally from Maryland and went to the University of Maryland, College Park for his bachelors degree in Biological Sciences. He worked in the Washington DC-area for two years prior to medical school. He is currently a fourth-year student at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Shyam is enthusiastic that he found anesthesiology to be his perfect fit; he is passionate about helping other prospective students navigate their career paths as well. As senior advisor, Shyam plans to expand resources for anesthesiology career exploration, add more residency program director interviews, and promote resident-medical student mentorship opportunities.

This year, Tanisha is excited to continue working with the MSC to integrate her love of anesthesiology with her passion for diversity and inclusion, medical education and pipeline development. As the Inaugural Diversity and Inclusion Liaison, Tanisha hopes to empower students who come from underrepresented backgrounds in anesthesiology. She aims to work with the MSC leadership to identify areas in which underrepresented trainees can be better supported in their journey to a career in anesthesiology and create resources highlighting the importance of a diverse workforce. Outside of medicine, Tanisha's hobbies include practicing yoga and reading memoirs.
Bailey Walbridge graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology. He is currently a third-year medical student at University of New England College of Medicine in Biddeford, Maine. During undergraduate school, he taught chemistry to high school students and helped place premedical students in scribing positions as the hiring manager for ScribeAmerica in Indiana. Anesthesiology is the perfect fit of pharmacology and physiology for Bailey. As the alternate, Bailey wants to unravel the secret of the match process to help alleviate some of the stress of his fellow future anesthesiologists inherent in the process. His goal as a future physician is to provide greater perioperative care to underserved and vulnerable populations. Besides medicine, Bailey enjoys any extreme sport, CrossFit training and hiking with his two dogs, Finley and Hoosier.
