Among these is EMAT\u2019s organization and conduction of the biennial Eurasian Conference of Emergency Medicine, which has always been a very high quality and well attended conference.\u00a0 EMAT members have also been very active in the activities of the European Society of Emergency Medicine and the Asian Society of Emergency Medicine. This is particularly relevant since the country of Turkiye is situated in both Europe and Asia.\u00a0 EMAT has developed educational training materials and national standards for Emergency Medicine (EM) which serve as models for EM specialty development in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; IEM is now robust and progressing actively throughout the world.&nbsp; IEM development efforts started in the late 1980\u2019s with the main development successes occurring in the mid to late 1990\u2019s. Large difficulties in getting the specialty of EM officially recognized and acknowledged as a key component of any national health care system were overcome.&nbsp; EM is now an officially registered and recognized medical specialty in numerous countries. &nbsp;EM practitioners are now widely recognized as leaders in medical research and administration of medical services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The current lead organization in IEM is the International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM) which is a consortium of all of the national and regional EM organizations.&nbsp; IFEM has produced and published a number of valuable open access reference documents on EM training and clinical operations.&nbsp; IFEM has a large number of Special Interest Groups which are promoting various sub-specialties and sub-interests of EM. IFEM also conducts the annual International Conference on Emergency Medicine (ICEM) every June (this year\u2019s conference will be in Taipei, Taiwan). EMAT is in a good position and of course very capable to host the ICEM in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; IEM has a very bright future with many young smart EM physicians carrying the specialty forward and overcoming the numerous obstacles in conducting high quality EM care delivery.&nbsp; And hopefully EM can contribute to the resolution of the numerous war conflicts going on at the present time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim Holliman, M.D., F.I.F.E.M., F.E.M.A.T. \u00a0I am most pleased to provide this brief article for the new Emergency Medicine Association of Turkiye&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1205,"featured_media":1576,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10057,10029],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iem-newsletter-en","category-uncategorized-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1205"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tatd.org.tr\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
