Emergency physicians are ready – for anything, any time, and any place. The Uniformed Services Chapter Division is proud to present Are You Ready? Emergency Medicine Without the ER. Military physicians plan and prepare for disasters in austere environments. We care for patients on the land, sea, and sky, managing patients for prolonged periods of time and with not-your-typical ER complaints. Guided by military doctrine, experience, and evidence-based guidelines, our faculty will help you be ready to apply your emergency medicine skills for whatever challenge you may face.
