Early Emergency Careers Special Interest Group
About
The Early Emergency Careers Special Interest Group (EEC SIG) of the International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM) was founded in 2025. It evolved from and replaced the Emergency Medicine Residents and Trainees Special Interest Group (RT SIG) which was founded in 2020. It creates an supportive community of practice for emergency medicine (EM) senior trainees and early-career emergency physicians to support their ongoing professional development at an important transition point in their careers whilst learning how they can contribute within the IFEM organisational structure.
Objectives:
- Provide a forum for networking amongst its members who are in the early stage of their EM careers.
- Nurture and support leadership skills development within the IFEM organisational structure and relevant programs.
- Foster collaboration especially in the areas of:
- Education and training
- Leadership skill growth and development
- Wellness and career longevity
- Advise all the IFEM standing committees as appropriate.
