About Us
DevelopingEM was established in 2011 as a not-for-profit organisation that provides a practical clinical approach to the delivery of emergency medicine and critical care education. Our conference is run by, and developed for, practitioners in the fields of emergency medicine, intensive and critical care, anaesthetics, pre-hospital and retrieval medicines.
DevelopingEM adopted a humanitarian mission to the organisation during its second conference hosted in Havana, Cuba; to provide quality education and training to regions where emergency medicine is rapidly developing. Since then, we have held conferences and supported the development of emergency and critical care medicine in Cuba, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Fiji and Colombia, as well as in Australia, and sponsored over 600 delegates to attend our conference.
