ABEM's Statement on Anti-Discrimination
ABEM condemns the social injustice of systemic racism and any form of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion, gender, veteran status, sexual preference, or age. Addressing racism and prejudice is critical to ABEM’s mission to ensure the highest standards in the specialty of Emergency Medicine.
