SEMPA has joined like-minded emergency medicine organizations to participate in theannual EM Day of Service, which is a specialty-driven event where emergency care providers identify community needs and volunteer to address those needs. You care and advocate for our patients while working clinically. You also respond to the call to give back to the communities you serve. The EM Day of Service was created with this essential concept in mind.
Physician assistants across the country are joining with emergency physicians, residents, nurses, and medical students to give back to the communities they serve in their practice of emergency medicine.
Pick a day - any day or several days - in September every year! Plan your service time anytime in September.
By choosing several days during the month, this will help you manage clinical hours and volunteer hours. Perhaps some work while others volunteer and vice-versa. It's up to you to determine the most efficient scheduling of your volunteer project.
Volunteer in your own community. Decide where the needs are greatest and go into action! Here are some ideas to get you started:
Be sure to use social media to get the word out! Use #emdayofservice to start the buzz!
