The California Chapter of AAEM advocates for emergency physicians and their patients throughout the state. CAL/AAEM proudly sponsors the Western Journal of Emergency Medicine (WestJEM), which originally started as a newsletter distributed to the CAL/AAEM members. Cal/AAEM believes in the right of every patient to access the best emergency care available and works to protect the patients of California from the degradation of care that follows in the wake of the corporate practice of medicine.
