• Medical Student Forum
  Each year during the SAEM Annual Meeting an Emergency Medicine Medical Student Forum is held. This session is designed to help medical students understand the residency and career options that exist in emergency medicine, develop an optimal senior year schedule, evaluate residency programs, and navigate the residency application process. Medical students also learn to recognize and begin management of common and potentially life threatening problems which present to the emergency department. A Medical Student/Resident Visual Diagnosis Photography Contest is also held at the SAEM Annual Meeting. Small prizes are awarded and winners are acknowledged in the SAEM Newsletter.
