The Emergency Medical Research and Education Foundation (EMREF) was formed in 1975 to provide educational and research opportunities for emergency physicians and other first line responders.
After many years of dormancy,
EMREF was revitalized in 2004,
and is currently developing and
offering courses for emergency
providers. California boasts over 3,000 emergency physicians and thousands of emergency nurses, paramedics, EMT’s, 911 dispatchers, administrators and other emergency medicine professionals. EMREF’s mission is to provide opportunities for continuing education and research to ensure that emergency professionals receive necessary training and continuing education in order to guarantee the highest possible standard of patient care. EMREF is dedicated to identifying educational needs and providing state-of-the-art educational programs in emergency medicine, disaster management, prehospital emergency care, and public health to meet those needs. Educational programs utilize multiple technology formats, including classroom, web-based and telemedicine courses. EMREF’s goal is to:
• Plan, promote and conduct educational seminars and courses for emergency medicine professionals in the techniques and treatment of emergency medical events.
• Promote and provide educational opportunities to aid in the organization and programming of medical emergency facilities.
• Promote evidence-based approaches to illness and injury prevention.
• Publish and distribute educational material.
