Emergency Medicine Day
Held each May 27, Emergency Medicine Day highlights the need for well-prepared Emergency Medicine physicians worldwide.
On Emergency Medicine Day and every day, the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) applauds the more than 49,000 ABEM-certified physicians nationwide who reaffirm their dedication to staying current with the latest medical advances.
Emergency Medicine is the safety net of health care, one that catches more than 150 million people in America every year. ABEM celebrates the emergency physicians and residents who meet that responsibility with excellence. They play a vital role in serving their communities, patients, and the specialty of Emergency Medicine.
Join us in celebrating and acknowledging the essential contributions of emergency physicians on Emergency Medicine Day.
Hospitals, health systems, urgent care clinics, and others can join us in recognizing ABEM-certified physicians. Customizable templates and resources are available to download in the Emergency Medicine Day Toolkit.

ABEM-certified Emergency Medicine physicians provide care you can trust—and that matters to your patients.
When a crisis strikes, people don’t just need care. They need the right person behind that care. That’s why ABEM, along with 80% of the American public, believes board-certified physicians should lead emergency care. Physicians who earn board certification through ABEM have demonstrated their expertise and are committed to maintaining it throughout their careers so that every patient receives the gold standard of care.
Join us in celebrating your emergency physicians who are trained, trusted, and prepared.
