The Essentials of Emergency Medicine (EEM) conference is in May 2018, but opportunities start NOW. This conference is one of the largest live EM educational conferences in the world with over 2,000 attendees, and will once again be held at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas! Led by Dr. Paul Jhun, conference organizers are offering an amazing opportunity for EM residents anywhere in the world to serve as an EEM Fellow for the next EEM conference May 15-17, 2018.

EEM Education Fellowship

EEEM is offering ALiEM 2 mini-fellowship positions to eligible residents anywhere in the world. Those selected to participate will receive:

FREE conference registration
FREE 4-night hotel stay at the Cosmopolitan Hotel
A travel stipend of US $500

As part of the EEM staff, fellows will get a rare opportunity to experience the behind-the-scenes work associated with developing and producing one of the world’s largest and best EM educational conferences. Fellow responsibilities will include online chat moderation, social media management, CME preparation, research projects, and more. A common theme voiced by previous EEM fellows has been the opportunity to interact directly and develop meaningful relationships with the renowned, fun, and master clinician-educators in the EEM faculty.

Quotes from the 2017 EEM Fellows

“This has been one of the most fun and influential things I have done. It was great to see how this event comes together. It was cool to see people who I learn from constantly through their online FOAMed and other learning tools. As someone interested in FOAMed and online education, it was a real motivator to try and figure out my niche and my career goals.” -Moises Gallegos

“This has genuinely been a once in a lifetime opportunity. I forged numerous great friendships and was able to engage with a number of world renowned faculty. I really feel that being a Fellow has opened up so many doors for me. Check back with all of us in a couple of years and I’m sure that all of the Fellows will tell you that great accomplishments were able to be achieved solely because of this amazing opportunity.” –Sameer Sharif
