EUSEM Membership

Becoming a Fellow of the European Society for Emergency Medicine (FESEM)

In 2010, a new category of membership of the European Society for Emergency Medicine was introduced, namely ‘Fellowship of the European Society for Emergency Medicine’. This new category of ‘Fellowship’ is in keeping with the practice of other medical Colleges and Societies worldwide and is intended to recognise those long standing full members of EUSEM who have made substantial contributions of distinction to the Society and to the community of European Emergency Medicine. (Associate members are not eligible)

Prospective Fellows will be entitled to apply for election after no less than five (5) years of continuous Membership. Candidates for Fellowship will be expected to demonstrate their substantial contributions to European emergency medicine (such activities may include national EM development in Europe; development of teaching or research in their country or Europe-wide; significant contributions to European EM work such as curriculum development; or significant and sustained contributions to the European Journal of Emergency Medicine).

All applications for Fellowship will be assessed by the Fellowship Committee. Applicants who are not successful in their application will be permitted to re-apply not less than two years after their previous application.

Fellows will be entitled to

• Use the post-nominal letters FESEM 
• Have their names listed on the EUSEM website as Fellows 
• Eligible for (an encouragement to lead and participate in) sections and working groups and committees

Applicants who are successfully elected to the Fellowship will be expected to continue to pay their appropriate annual subscription.
