Thanks to our Annual Alliance donors, SAEMF-funded scholars are turning support into new knowledge, lifesaving innovations, and better outcomes for patients everywhere. Each year we are able to make a significant investment in emergency medicine’s future by funding more academic emergency medicine research and career development through SAEM Foundation's (SAEMF) initiatives. This is only possible through the generosity of our Annual Alliance donors. Learn about Annual Alliance Donor Recognition here.
