Scientific Assembly Preliminary Program

The Scientific Assembly educational program emphasizes cutting-edge clinical medicine and its practical application to patient care, covering a broad range of topics, including resuscitation and critical illness, patient populations and social determinants of health, physician advocacy and resilience, and the core principles of emergency medicine practice. Emergency physicians from across the country and in all practice settings will gain valuable knowledge and practical skills that will change your clinical practice and improve patient care.

Scientific Assembly will feature popular sessions like the 18-minute track lectures and the seven-minute “short and sweet” Breve Dulce lectures on a variety of topics; hands-on Small Group Clinic workshops; deep dive panel discussions, and powerhouse plenary sessions. Earn additional CME credits at the add-on courses offered on Sunday, April 25, and during the morning of Monday, April 26. The main Scientific Assembly program will officially begin with Opening Remarks at midday on Monday, April 26 and conclude at noon on Thursday, April 29.

Schedule and topics subject to change. The full schedule of presentations and speakers will be published in January 2027.

*Pre-Registration is required for all add-on courses.

**Small Group Clinics are free workshops available for onsite sign-up only on a first-come, first-serve basis.
