Scope of Practice Webinar Series

What Is ‘Scope of Practice’ and How Does It Impact Me?

January 11, 2023 | 7:00pm CT

Whether you know it or not, scope of practice in emergency medicine is an ongoing, important issue that will affect you, as an EM resident or student, as you move through your training. It encompasses everything from patient safety to job satisfaction to current and future employment opportunities.

This webinar will give you a basic foundation on what the major scope of practice issues are on the political stage, how it affects each (future) physician, and most importantly, how you can engage in the work being done to help protect the future of emergency medicine.

Make sure to bring your EM workforce questions - you will be able to submit your questions throughout the webinar for our speakers to answer during Q&A!

Our new three-part webinar series is designed to educate you on EM workforce issues that will be discussed at the Health Policy in Emergency Medicine Symposium (HPEM) at AAEM23. All AAEM/RSA resident and student members are encouraged to attend, even if you aren’t planning on attending HPEM! (If you aren't currently a member and would like to attend, learn more about joining AAEM/RSA today!)
