“SAEM and SAEMF have provided a national academic home and facilitated my early career development through my first research grant which supported my fellowship training. I have met many amazing colleagues through SAEM, especially through committee work, which opened opportunities, catalyzed collaborations, and facilitated my professional growth. I am deeply grateful for the organization and the many people that make it work.”

This group is developing and collating resources to support emergency departments that are interested in improving delirium prevention, detection, and management efforts.
“Funding from SAEMF has been crucial in allowing me to pursue research training in geriatrics and implementation science. I am using data and training from this award to apply for further grants (including a career development award) to support emergency department research to improve care for older adults with cognitive impairment.”
Partner with SAEMF to Increase EM Research While we have made a tremendous impact on the specialty, there is still an urgent need to continue increasing the number of EM investigators at the federal level. Please consider contributing to our effort.
