Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP)

CAEP:
As the national voice of emergency medicine (EM), CAEP provides continuing medical education, advocates on behalf of emergency physicians and their patients, supports research and strengthens the EM community. In co-operation with other specialties and committees, CAEP also plays a vital role in the development of national standards and clinical guidelines.

Committees
The CAEP Community is proud of the work our sections and committees have accomplished throughout our 40+ years. Many initiatives have started out as ideas at a committee meeting. We would like to thank all our members who volunteer their time to improve patient care by participating on a committee and invite you to make use of the collaborative workspace and discussion boards provided. Those interested in becoming involved in one of these groups can find the relevant contact points on our website.
