The Emergency Medical Services Section of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (EMSS-AAEM) was founded to foster the professional development of emergency medicine physicians interested in the subspecialty of emergency medical services board certification. We provide educational and networking experiences in the areas of advocacy, membership engagement, and professional development.
The Future of EMS Webinar Series

Catch up on recordings from the Future of EMS Webinar Series. Our goal is to address workforce concerns, highlight emerging processes, and look at ways to continue to develop our sub-specialty. Led by EMS physicians, speakers share their personal experiences including the successes and challenges they’ve overcome. You’ll be equipped with new insights and practical ideas that you can take back to your department.
