SAEM21 VIRTUAL MEETING
THE RAMS GUIDE TO THE SAEM21 VIRTUAL MEETING
By Daniel Jourdan, MD, and Vytas Karalius, MD, MPH SAEM21 is set to kick off in just a couple of weeks. It’s a time to celebrate and learn from emergency medicine’s top researchers and academicians. This year’s annual meeting, while virtual, continues the tradition of highlighting the science, enriching the education, and facilitating the interaction and mentorship that moves our specialty forward!
RAMS Education Committee members Daniel Jourdan, MD, Henry Ford emergency medicine/internal medicine residency, and Vytas Karalius MD, MPH, Northwestern University emergency medicine residency, poured over the offerings at SAEM21. As residents and former medical students themselves, and in tune with what would uniquely supplement the knowledge of residents and medical students alike, Drs. Jourdan and Karalius identified several events and sessions that are well-suited to RAMS members. While a few of the sessions overlap, with careful planning, see how many you can attend!
