Upcoming WADEM Sponsored Regional Congress
The goal of the IPRED conference is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences, and lessons learned about preparedness and response to emergencies and disasters. In addition, the conference will provide an excellent opportunity for networking and will enhance the potential for international research collaboration in the field of emergency and disaster medicine. |
Welcome from the WADEM President Dear colleague, Welcome to the website of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM). Our association was originally founded 33 years ago as the Club of Mainz on 2 October 1976. This explains why our logo still contains the logo of the city of Mainz, Germany. Following the constant development of its scope and extension worldwide, and to better reflect its global mission, the name was changed to the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine. Please take your time to explore our site. Find out who we are and how we work to improve the everyday delivery of prehospital and emergency health care and enhance disaster health and preparedness. Take a look at our official publication Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, now in its 24th volume. If you are already heavily involved in disaster health and disaster management, download some or all of the chapters from our publication, Health Disaster Management: Guidelines from Evaluation and Research in the Utstein Style. We recently convened the 16th World Congress on Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WCDEM) in Victoria, Canada. The WCDEM is our association's biannual event. Currently, we are planning for the 17th WCDEM in Beijing, China in June 2011. Above all, note that we are an association of health care professionals sharing a similar vision. Currently we have members from 55 countries and we are eager to include within our ranks more contributing professionals worldwide! If after exploring this site you feel the previous statement is a call for you, please go ahead and join us. Hoping to welcome you soon in our ranks, Demetrios G. Pyrros, MD, EMDM
