URiM Medical Education Award
SAEM Residents and Medical Students (RAMS) is committed to promoting the next generation of diverse emergency physicians. With the rising costs of medical education, RAMS seeks to provide financial assistance to under-represented medical students demonstrating a strong commitment to and leadership skills in emergency medicine. Specifically, we aim to alleviate the financial strains associated with national licensing exams (often not included in tuition costs).
