American Board of Emergency Medicine Celebrates Emergency Medicine Day
EAST LANSING, Mich., May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Held each May 27, Emergency Medicine Day highlights the need for Emergency Medicine physician expertise worldwide. On Emergency Medicine Day and every day, the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) applauds the more than 47,000 ABEM-certified physicians across the United States. The physicians who lead and serve Emergency Medicine care teams need our support and recognition now more than ever. Physicians certified by ABEM are dedicated to delivering high-quality care and have demonstrated the skills and ongoing expertise needed to meet the highest professional credential in Emergency Medicine. It also signals a physician's commitment to staying current with the latest medical advances, which provides reassurance to patients and their families about their care during an emergency. Emergency Medicine is a safeguard for patients, treating the most vulnerable. Emergency departments may have physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners and others who all play important roles, but much like 80% of the public, ABEM believes board-certified physicians should lead emergency care. In a recent RAND Report, a study found that "the scope of work for emergency physicians in the U.S. health system is expanding, with evidence that emergency departments have become hubs that offer various services beyond emergency care." While the report demonstrates there is work to be done to support and sustain emergency care moving forward, it remains of vital importance in our communities. Learn more about how to celebrate Emergency Medicine Day and how ABEM helps promote the highest standard in Emergency Medicine for physicians to meet the needs and demands of our communities and patients.

Dubai hosts Emirates Critical Care Conference
The 21st Emirates Critical Care Conference commenced on Friday at the InterContinental Festival City Hotel in Dubai, held in parallel with the 2nd World Summit of the World Federation of Intensive and Critical Care (WFICC). The event also runs concurrently with the 7th Global Network for Emergency Medicine (GNEM), the 16th Asia Africa Conference of the WFICC, and is organised in collaboration with the Seventh Conference of the Emirates Nursing Association – Critical Care Chapter. In addition, it is held alongside the 20th World Conference of Critical Care Nurses (WFCCN) World Congress and the 21st International Pan Arab Critical Care Medicine Society Conference (IPACCMS). Prof. Dr. Hussein Al Rahma, Chairman of the Conference, said that the conference, which began in 2004 with the participation of 300 doctors and nurses, is today the first in the Middle East and North Africa and the third in the world. It attracts over 2,000 participants annually from across the world, with this year's edition welcoming attendees from 45 countries. Prof Al Rahma noted that the conference, organised by Info Plus Events, currently attracts 60% of international medical associations. He expressed his aspiration to increase this figure to over 90% by 2028, especially given the significant annual growth in both the number of international speakers and the quality of scientific papers presented, as well as the diversity of accompanying workshops. Prof Al Rahma emphasised that the conference aims to bring together leading doctors, specialists, and researchers in the field of intensive and critical care from the Middle East and around the world to exchange expertise. The event also serves as a platform to discuss advancements in mechanical ventilation techniques, the latest pharmaceutical developments, and cutting-edge findings in critical care medicine. The President of the Conference highlighted that this year's edition features 275 speakers, including 130 international and 80 local experts. Over the course of the three-day event, attendees will benefit from 381 lectures across 77 scientific sessions, in addition to four scientific workshops, four training courses, and six industry-focused seminars.
