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 Chair, Monika Wojtera, at ffyem.caep@gmail.com or Krista-Lyn Panti <kpanti@caep.ca> at the CAEP Head Office.
