AbstractThe Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians' (CAEP) Global Emergency Medicine committee presents a four-part series that builds upon the Academic Symposium recommendations from the CAEP 2018 meeting (Collier et al. in CJEM 21(5):600-606, 2019). This series presents best practices and offers practical tools for the development and practice of Global EM. This is the first paper of the series which provides an overview of current Global EM systems and development. The breadth and scope of the field is described, and key definitions are outlined. International efforts, initiatives, and organizations relating to public health and humanitarian response are introduced. Other key aspects of Global EM are explored in papers 2-4 including: developing partnerships, supporting centers of research and practice, and education and training.© 2024.
