The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine held its annual scientific conference called, ACEM 08 in Wellington, New Zealand during late November 2008. The overarching theme being Leadership in Emergency Medicine.

In addition this meeting marked the 25th Silver Jubilee celebration of the first ACEM Scientific Meeting held in 1984.

Since its inception earlier in 2008 the EMIG has sought to foster interest in Emergency Medicine, increase student clinical exposure and provide hands on teaching with experienced Emergency Medicine Doctors and Consultants.

Your EMIG facilitators, our advisor Dr James Kwan and  Dr Wendy Hu have collaborated to produce an abstract that reports on the aims and activities of the EMIG. This was submitted for acceptance at this scientific meeting.

We are proud to announce that our submission was accepted and were provided the opportunity to report to the greater Emergency Medicine community of the benefits your EMIG.

Your facilitators thank our student colleagues and dedicated Emergency Medicine doctors and consultants for their continued support of the EMIG.
