Membership Information

Who may join?

Membership is open to doctors working in or with an interest in the specialty of Emergency Medicine.

Since 2011 membership is open to Medical Students at a nominal fee. As a goodwill gesture, the Association decided at its recent AGM to allow free Medical Student membership for the 2013 subscription year. To avail of this, students should download the Affiliate Membership Form and return the fully completed form including the Direct Debit mandate to the Association's Honorary Secretary as instructed on the form. The DD mandate will not be activated for 2013. 

The Association is always keen to see doctors at an early stage of their Emergency Medicine careers join the Association.
