Social Emergency Medicine and Population Health
The Social Emergency Medicine and Population Health Interest Group is the exploration of the interplay of the emergency care system and social forces such as housing, food, violence and others. The group provides a forum for the exchange of ideas in curriculum development on social factors and their role in emergency care as well as the development of a much-needed research agenda.
