The Value of SAEM Committee Participation

One of the most valuable benefits of membership in SAEM is the opportunity to participate on one or more of the SAEM committees. Serving on an SAEM committee furthers your professional development by providing leadership experience, expanding your professional network, and strengthening your ties within the specialty. What's more, SAEM committee members are directly involved in identifying new opportunities, guiding projects, and offering their expertise...so as a committee member you will have a direct hand in helping us achieve our goals. 

Committee opportunities are not limited to faculty — residents and students can get involved, too! RAMS members: service on SAEM committees can lead to developing future educational solutions that address the needs and wishes of residents and medical students, championing the next generation of emergency medicine academicians and leaders, and influencing the direction of the Society at large. 

If you are eager to make a difference, committed to enhancing academic emergency medicine, and interested in playing an important role advancing the Society’s vision and mission, apply now!
