The College of Emergency Medicine (CEM) is an organisation of emergency physicians in the United Kingdom which sets standards of training and administers examinations for emergency physicians in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The College sets two examinations, the Fellowship of the College of Emergency Medicine (FCEM), and the Membership of the College of Emergency Medicine (MCEM). Trainees who pass the MCEM are eligible to join a specialist registrar training programme in emergency medicine. Doctors who complete this training programme may sit the FCEM examination and may be recommended by the College for CCT in Emergency Medicine. The College holds annual scientific meetings for members. The current president of the College is Jim Wardrope.

History

The Faculty of Accident and Emergency Medicine was inaugurated on 2nd November 1993, and conducted the first FFAEM examination in October 1996. In late 2005, FAEM reached agreement with the British Association for Emergency Medicine (BAEM) for the two organisations to merge to form a new College of Emergency Medicine. The Faculty was renamed the College of Emergency Medicine as of 1st January 2006 although it has not yet merged with BAEM (due 2007). The headquarters of the new organisation moved to Churchill House in London on 29th August 2006.
