Academic Affairs Committee
Who We Are
The Academic Affairs Committee provides leadership in the area of academic advocacy. They serve as the liaison to CORD, SAEM, AACEM, NAEMSP and other EM organizations for joint interests and projects.
Academic Affairs works with academic departments of EM and in particular EM residency programs in order to establish a connection with AAEM at the early stages of resident training and to provide the resources necessary to develop an understanding of the goals of the Academy.
