Professional Development Programs for Everyone Practicing Emergency Medicine

FemInEM recognizes the enormous leadership potential of women with emergency medicine training. Unlike other professional society meetings and leadership programs I've attended, the FemInEM conference was about making an impact on people in your community and globally by bringing your whole self as a woman and leader to the table...we're women who show up for others to ignite ideas, grow programs, and improve the world around us!

FeminEM advocates for more research to inform the care of women. Specifically to improve reproductive healthcare delivery in emergency departments. Women deserve the best care, based on the best evidence.
Dr. Ken Milne

It was after attending my first FeminEM retreat I felt I finally found my tribe in emergency medicine. Here was a safe place to share our unique struggles, genuinely celebrate our victories, and collaborate to improve the culture of emergency medicine for other female physicians.
Dr. Breanne Jacobs
Washington, D.C.
In my second year of residency, I mustered up the courage to tell one of my APDs that I wanted to be an abortion provider. I felt super scared telling anyone this or saying it aloud for the first time...Pretty amazing to think this was actually the seed that was planted for me, in retrospect.

FemInEM has been a lifeline in the storm of emergency medicine, where burnout is staggering, especially among women. This organization uniquely bridges professional development, peer support, and advocacy, tackling the root causes of moral injury and burnout that drive women from our field. By empowering women to reclaim their careers and well-being, FemInEM transforms clinicians' lives and enhances the care we provide, ultimately benefiting the patients we serve.
