Society-For-Academic-Emergency-Medicine

SAEM offers a great opportunity to work in an organization that is making a difference through research and education programs that lead to better care for emergency medicine patients. Its members are dedicated to the organization -- they give selflessly of time, intellect, and their own personal finances to support success.
The organization is very structured, operates based on realistic goals, is strategic about the big initiatives and does not suffer from analysis-paralysis on the small stuff (refreshing!) There are business plans for nearly every unit of the association. With 60 plus groups that are managed by SAEM, these provide for what is needed to maintain alignment to organizational vision / strategy.
It provides an opportunity to be part of a highly-productive, diverse team who supports one another. As a small nonprofit, everyone is expected to use their talents for their area of expertise, but also to help elevate the organization by chipping in on major initiatives.
There is time for fun through creative staff appreciation / events, an annual service day where SAEM gives back, and this helps to strengthen the team's cohesion.
Management encourages people to be the best they can through pursuit of professional development, and celebrates accomplishments in this area. This is the first organization I have worked for with a formal promotion plan. It is a fairly transparent organization and employees at all levels are engaged in planning, policy development -- which helps to grow them for bigger things.
The CEO is a results-driven leader. She is confident in her team's ability and sets the bar high -- and, importantly, celebrates and champions successes.
If you are a hard-worker, comfortable with a fast pace, who wants to be part of a small team that is making big things happen for emergency medicine, you should check out the openings.

Meaningful, purpose-driven work with a diverse and inclusive team of professionals. Supportive and appreciative leadership that rewards hard work. An opportunity to grow and advance professionally, with a senior promotion plan, educational assistance program, paid professional memberships and conferences, and more. An inspiring and beautiful work environment with private window offices and sit/stand desks for everyone, flexible workspaces, a fully equipped kitchen/dining area, in-office meditation room with massage chair, and more. Good pay, excellent benefits (including 403b retirement plan and paid health insurance). Generous vacation, personal, and sick time, plus 14 days of paid holiday time off. Neat-casual dress code, remote-work Fridays, lots of fun social perks and social activities. A very personally and professionally rewarding place to work. 

I worked at SAEM for over two years. During that I was overworked, overstressed and unappreciated. During my time there I experienced bullying and gaslighting tactics from my supervisors that affected my self-esteem and mental health. The organization is highly chaotic with a large turn over rate. When trying to address my concern to upper management my concerns where disregard or ignored. 

The organization has a great membership who are highly passionate about issues concerning emergency medicine.  Sadly, the internal organization toxic nature overshadow this.  The hardest part of working at SAEM was knowing the organization had a great mission but having to work in a toxic culture with bad management.  

I learned how to work in an association and with members. I also learned what to avoid in my next job. 



This medical association puts up a facade of helping doctors, their patients, and the staff but the reality is that the true purpose of every activity and function is to promote personal goals of upper management. If you quietly go along with their false narrative you will be fine. If you question anything for suggest more efficient ways of doing things you will be punished and eventually pushed out. The work environment for non-director staff is tense and stressful at best. Pay is low and benefits are average. There are much better medical associations out there - avoid this one. 

Having worked at SAEM for over 12 years now, I can honestly say there is no place I would rather work. As an organization, the culture is welcoming and fun. They care about their employees and want everyone to succeed. Employees all want to excel and are quick to help teammates whenever needed. There is no lack of professional development opportunities, mentorship, or growth potential. And working for academic emergency physicians, our life-savers in times of greatest need, is extremely rewarding on a personal level. If you are a highly motivated employee looking for a new place to call your work home, this is it!

The culture at SAEM is healthy and positive. Personal wellness and balance is encouraged. Professional development and advancement is a priority. DEI is at the forefront. It is an excellent opportunity to learn the world of medical related associations. 

I learned a lot about non profits and how they work.  The people are great to work with.
