Leaders in Emergency Medicine Endorse AAEM

AAEM is emergency medicine’s fastest growing organization, now with over 5,000 members in 2006. We’ve quadrupled in size over the last eight years. Why? Many emergency medicine program directors want their residents exposed to the Academy and for forty dollars a resident; each receives a copy of The Journal of Emergency Medicine, Rules of the Road, Common Sense, our Toxicology Handbook, and free registration for our Scientific Assembly as well as access to Career Network, a new resource to research regional jobs. In addition, AAEM appeals to practicing physicians because of our focus, agility, and keen interest in their professional needs. Size definitely matters when it comes to membership since the greater our resources, the more AAEM does. AAEM, however, is an organization that will not compromise our mission in order to increase membership numbers.

Tom Scaletta, MD FAAEM

AAEM is a unique organization in emergency medicine because it places the need to serve the individual member above all else. AAEM routinely takes the risks and stands up for the little guy, the bedside physician, in situations where others choose the safe course and decide to protect the organization. The worth of a professional physician society is not revealed by its huge corporate headquarters. Instead, it is most accurately measured by examining how it serves the physician members in their time of need. AAEM ranks first in such matters.

Robert McNamara, MD FAAEM

I joined AAEM because I feel it is the organization that supports the best interests of the practicing emergency physician and the new graduates of emergency medicine. I hope that you will agree with me and also lend your support to the clinicians of emergency medicine by joining and participating in this organization.
