Since the 2011 AGM the Irish Emergency Medicine Trainees’ Association (IEMTA) have officially become a sub group of the Irish Association for Emergency Medicine (IAEM).
IAEM have played strong representative and advocacy role for promoting and protecting Emergency Medicine. IEMTA derives its funding from IAEM and operates under its constitution.
There is no longer a separate membership process for IEMTA. When you join IAEM as a medical student or NCHD you will automatically become a member of IEMTA.
Attached is the IAEM membership pack.
