EMERGENCY MEDICINE is now a recognised supra-specialty in Austria
The European Society for Emergency Medicine proudly congratulates the Austrian Association of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) for their remarkable achievement in obtaining official recognition for Emergency Medicine as a supra-specialty in Austria on 17 December 2024. Today marks a significant milestone for Emergency Medicine in Europe.
The General Assembly of the Austrian Medical Association approved the specialisation in clinical acute and Emergency Medicine last week. This was announced yesterday in an amendment to the Specialisation Ordinance and is, therefore, official.
The president of EUSEM, Dr. Robert Leach, added that "it is fitting for the upcoming EUSEM congress to be held in Austria’s capital city".
"We take immense pride in supporting the Austrian Society and extend our heartfelt congratulations on this remarkable achievement. The recognition of Emergency Medicine exemplifies their commitment and efforts".
EUSEM is looking forward to celebrating this remarkable milestone by hosting its largest congress yet in Vienna.
