• SAEM Medical Student Excellence Award

This award is offered annually to each medical school in the United States and Canada. It is awarded to the senior medical student at each school who best exemplifies the qualities of an excellent emergency physician, as manifested by excellent clinical, interpersonal, and manual skills, and a dedication to continued professional development leading to outstanding performance on emergency medicine rotations. The award, presented at graduation, conveys a one-year membership in SAEM, which includes subscriptions the SAEM monthly journal, Academic Emergency Medicine, the SAEM Newsletter and an award certificate.

Announcements describing the program and applications are sent to the Dean's Office at each medical school in January. Coordinators of emergency medicine student rotations then select the student based on the student's intramural and extramural performance in emergency medicine. Each school must submit the name of their recipient no later than June 1. The list of winners is published in a summer issue of the SAEM Newsletter.

Over 110 medical schools currently participate in this award. Contact SAEM at saem@saem.org if your school would like to participate.
