Resources

ACEM produces teaching and continuous professional development resources for its membership. These resources are regularly reviewed and more will be developed.
Australia: Reconciliation Action Plan

The 2017-2018 Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is an agreed strategy to further our commitment to reconciliation with Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. ACEM’s RAP Steering Group is in the process of finalising the College’s RAP for 2019-2020. We are looking forward to launching it in the first quarter of 2019.
Aotearoa New Zealand: Manaaki Mana Strategy

The College has launched Te Rautaki Manaaki Mana: Excellence in Emergency Care for Māori. The vision of this strategy is that emergency departments will provide excellent, culturally safe care to Māori, in an environment where Māori patients, whānau and staff feel valued, and where leaders actively seek to eliminate inequities.

Cultural competence in the clinical context involves tailoring care to meet patients’ social, cultural and linguistic needs.

ACEM has developed three eLearning modules which aim to improve FACEM's abilities to assess cultural competence in trainees and to provide meaningful feedback. The modules were written by the ACEM Assessing Cultural Competence Reference Group. 

The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) acknowledges the Wurundjeri People, the Traditional Owners of the land upon which the ACEM head office is located in Melbourne, Australia. ACEM also acknowledges and pays respect to the Traditional Owners of the lands upon which Australian emergency departments are located, and Elders past, present and future; for they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia.
