If you are interested in learning about the current status of emergency medicine in a specific country, it can be difficult to find up-to-date information. One excellent resource for country specific details is the American College of Emergency Physicians’ (ACEP) International Ambassador Program.

 

This program has Emergency Medicine Ambassadors (U.S. emergency physicians), Liaisons (in-country emergency physicians) and Representatives (U.S. emergency physicians in training) for many countries around the world.  Additionally, there are country specific reports that give annually updated information about emergency medicine in each country.

 

Included on the website are links to send emails to the Ambassadors, Liaisons and Representatives in order to request more detailed information.
