Rather than a static mission statement, we live by our “Purpose in Action”—a dynamic approach to providing exceptional education in emergency medicine with unwavering passion and commitment. Through education and collaboration, we strive to uplift patients, practitioners, and communities, creating meaningful and lasting change.
