Benefits of Membership

In addition to strengthening AAEM in the continuance of its mission for the recognition of board certification as the minimum requirement of a specialist in Emergency Medicine, and for the inclusion of due process rights and freedom from restrictive covenants in all Emergency Medicine contracts, each member of AAEM enjoys the following benefits:

1. The Journal of Emergency Medicine
   The Journal of Emergency Medicine (JEM) is the official journal of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine. JEM is an international, peer-reviewed publication featuring original contributions of interest to both the academic and practicing emergency physician. Published eight times per year, JEM includes research papers and clinical studies as well as articles focusing on the training of emergency physicians and on the practice of Emergency Medicine. As AAEM's official journal, a subscription to JEM is included in the membership dues of each Lifetime, Full Voting, Associate, International (electronic version), Resident, and Student member. AAEM actively encourages its membership to contribute editorial material for publication in JEM.
   
   

2. Common Sense
   Common Sense is the official newsletter of AAEM. It is a bi-monthly publication that reports on all AAEM activities and news from the world of Emergency Medicine. It is delivered to the AAEM membership six times a year, which currently stands at more than 4,000 emergency physicians, residents, and others with an interest in Emergency Medicine. Advertising options are available. Contact info@aaem.org for more information.
   
   

3. Discounted Registration for all AAEM Meetings
   AAEM is committed to providing physicians with excellent educational activities that will enhance the quality of their medical practice. The standard of these educational activities will be such as to appeal to the professional interests of the specialist in Emergency Medicine, which AAEM defines as a physician certified by either the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) or the American Board of Osteopathic Emergency Medicine (AOBEM) in Emergency Medicine or Pediatric Emergency Medicine. Activities that support the personal and professional welfare of the individual specialist are of primary concern to AAEM.
   
   

4. Job Bank
   The AAEM Job Bank is a service provided by the American Academy of Emergency Medicine. Its goal is to assist board certified emergency physicians in finding healthy, long-term positions with practice groups or other organizations that are committed to providing democratic and equitable work environments. You must be a member of AAEM in order to participate in the Job Bank.
   
   

5. Political Action Committee
   AAEM PAC is the political action committee of AAEM. Through AAEM PAC, AAEM is able to support legislation and effect change on behalf of its members and with consideration to their unique concerns.
