Our Projects

Spanish Education Series

The American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) recognizes the need to provide emergency medicine education in Spanish. The AAEM International Committee is pleased to present an educational series of interactive virtual courses for Spanish-speaking physicians. The series features live presentations from expert physicians covering current and important clinical topics in emergency medicine.

The target audience for the series are residents and doctors. Medical students are welcome to attend.

The audience for this program are physicians outside of the United States. For that reason, continuing medical education (CME) credit will not be offered.
