Welcome to the WADEM website

Welcome to the website of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM). WADEM is dedicated to the improvement of prehospital and emergency health care, public health, and disaster health and preparedness. WADEM is a non-operational, non-governmental organization with a primary focus on education and research.  Our members are multidisciplinary and span the globe, representing 55 countries. WADEM was originally founded 33 years ago as the Club of Mainz on 2 October 1976. As a result, our logo still incorporates the logo of the city of Mainz, Germany.

Please take your time exploring our website. Take a look at our scientific journal, Prehospital and Disaster Medicine (PDM), now in its 25th volume. PDM is one of the leading international journals focusing on prehospital and disaster health and is distributed in more 60 countries. If you are already involved in disaster health and disaster management, read, view, or download our publication, Health Disaster Management: Guidelines for Evaluation and Research.

Every two years WADEM convenes the World Congress on Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WCDEM). The WCDEM is our organization's biannual event which attracts medical professionals from around the globe. Our last WCDEM was held in the beautiful city of Victoria, Canada. Currently, we are planning for the 17th WCDEM in Beijing, China, which will be convened from 31 May - 4 June 2011. Please save the dates on your calendar!

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.
