AAEM has a long history of involvement in international emergency medicine through conferences, committees, and the operation of the AAEM Scientific Assembly, and in recent years has invited and funded multiple international EM physicians and EM residents for their participation in AAEM Scientific Assembly.
The International Scholarship Program allows AAEM to invite and offer funding for AAEM23 to selected international emergency physicians and emergency medicine residents/registrars.
The goal of this program is to support the mission and vision of AAEM and the objectives of the AAEM International Committee including: development of liaisons and fostering of opportunities for exchange of information, education, and ideas with international EM societies and organizations.
The winners will receive $1,000 (USD) to attend AAEM23 in person.
To apply, please review the application criteria below, and prepare your essay, update your CV, and submit the application by Friday, September 30 at 11:59pm CT. Applicants should complete the scholarship application in full when submitting.
The International Committee will then review and rank candidates and recommend the finalists to the AAEM Board of Directors for final approval.
Applications are now closed.
