The Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP) First Five Years* in Emergency Medicine (FFYEM) committee serves to represent and advocate for physicians in their first 5 years of practice.

*Note:  “First five years” within our committee refers to new to practice physicians. We acknowledge that there may be physicians beyond the first 5 years that will identify as new to practice (eg. new to EM, new to Canada etc.). Physicians can be included in committee membership and offerings based on self-identification as new to practice.

The CAEP First Five Years in Emergency Medicine (FFYEM) Committee serves to represent and advocate for physicians in their first 5 years of practice, with inclusivity for those who identify as new to practice beyond this timeframe.

Established in 2022, our scope and activities are evolving. We welcome new-to-practice physicians or final-year residents to reach our about joining the committee, or other ways to get involved. You can contact the Chairs, Brendan Kelliher and Meghan Kerr, at ffyem.caep@gmail.com or Krista-Lyn Panti <kpanti@caep.ca> at the CAEP Head Office.

The program connects early-career EM physicians with more experienced colleagues. Whether you’re new to practice or further along in your career, we’d love to have you involved. Sign up today to connect and grow within the EM community!
