About ADIEM

The Academy for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Medicine (ADIEM) partners with SAEM to work towards the realization of our common goals of diversifying the physician workforce at all levels, eliminating disparities in healthcare and outcomes, and insuring that all emergency physicians are delivering culturally competent care.

ADIEM's Mission

To promote equal access to quality healthcare and the elimination of disparities in treatment and outcomes through education and research.
