State Chapters

AAEM members can make an impact on the local level by forming a state chapter of AAEM. Although the bylaws of a potential state chapter must be approved by the AAEM Board of Directors in order to make the liaison with AAEM official, an importance feature of AAEM state chapters is that they are run as separate organizations from the national society. Although emergency physicians are certainly encouraged to join both their state chapter and national AAEM, there is no requirement that they do. Those physicians who wish to belong solely to an AAEM state chapter are free to do so.
