In 2023, SAEM formed the Academic Emergency Medicine Pharmacists (AEMP) Interest Group with the intention of transitioning to an Academy of Emergency Medicine Pharmacists in the near future. We invite you to join the AEMP Interest Group and contribute to the growth and development of our vibrant new emergency medicine pharmacist community!

AEMP24 had over 200 attendees and offered 8 hours of CE along with roundtable opportunities to connect pharmacists together from across the world. In addition to the conference, we hosted a happy hour, a networking event for our pharmacy residents, and a dodgeball tournament.
