Fostering International Exchange in Emergency Medicine

We strongly believe that collaboration across borders is key to improving emergency care. That’s why we are actively encouraging exchange visits between emergency departments (EDs) from different countries.

Our interest is—to observe best practices, protocols, and innovative organizational models. Our goal is to bring back valuable insights that could benefit the emergency system, promoting research and international education in emergency medicine

We also hope to build long-term scientific partnerships and mutual learning opportunities. Sharing knowledge and experiences across health systems is not just enriching—it’s essential for growth, innovation, and better patient outcomes.

If your ED is open to visit or interested in collaboration, we’d love to connect.
