Peter Cameron, past president of IFEM, dedicates much of his time these days to mentoring junior doctors. So we called him up to learn what we can expect to see in the next generation of emergency physicians. We also talk about virtual care, and the true opportunities for telemedicine in emergency care.

Emergency medicine conferences offer physicians a much-needed opportunity to meet colleagues face to face and learn from one another. It’s a chance to travel, to get in someone else’s shoes, and gain a broader perspective on medicine. Here is a list of upcoming events and conferences in global emergency medicine.

We caught up with Dr. Ffion Davies, president of IFEM, to learn about what it’s like working at the busiest ED in Western Europe (seeing around 800 patients a day) and what she’d like to accomplish as leader of the Federation.

This June, after a couple rocky years, ICEM is attempting a comeback with a conference in Melbourne. To hear about what attendees can expect at the hybrid event we caught up with conference convenor Dr. Simon Judkins.

Dr. Vitaliy Krylyuk, an emergency physician at Kyiv Hospital of Emergency Medicine in Ukraine, reports that supplies and staff are currently available, yet they struggle to prepare for the unknown.
