News

CJEM 2003;5(4):288

As CAEP approaches its 25th anniversary, membership continues to grow. The number of CAEP members increased by 4%, from 1563 in 2001 to 1631 in 2002 (Fig. 1). The number of new active members increased by 27% in 2002, which means that the body of committed, voting members is bigger than ever.

Looking back over the last 10 years, CAEP membership has almost quadrupled. In particular, medical student memberships have increased ten-fold. The number of resident members now stands at 178 (11% of the overall membership).

The last decade has seen a steady increase in the proportion of active members (Fig. 2), reflecting a commitment to CAEP and to emergency medicine in Canada.
