The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine is an incorporated educational institution.

There are currently 148 New Zealand FACEM's. Our prime objective is the training and examination of specialist emergency physicians for Australia and New Zealand and the ongoing Maintenance of Professional Standards of the Fellows.

ACEM has a vital interest in the quality of emergency medical care provided to the community and therefore has a wide range of subsidiary objectives relating to emergency department accreditation, policies and standards for the emergency medical system, teaching and research, publication, and those aspects of the medico political framework that have a direct impact on health outcomes for emergency patients.

Detailed information on the educational programs of the College can be accessed on this site as can information on the structure of the College, ACEM policies, news and media items.
