Join AAWEP to find a safe space to connect and converse with fellow female (and male!) emergency physicians, hone your leadership skills, and tackle issues that impact your experience in practice. We are always looking for visionaries to join our leadership team, help shape future AAWEP projects, write a resolution, apply for a grant, give a lecture, or promote our work. The options are endless!
