AbstractThe Academy of Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine (CDEM) provides a forum for the collaborative exchange of ideas among emergency medicine (EM) medical student educators, a platform for the advancement of education, research, and faculty development, and establishes for the first time a national voice for undergraduate medical education within our specialty. CDEM plans to take a leading role in providing medical student educators with additional educational resources and opportunities for faculty development and networking. CDEM will work to foster the professional growth and development of undergraduate medical educators within our specialty. The advancement of undergraduate education within our specialty and beyond will come primarily from the support, hard work, and dedication of the educators. To accomplish our goals, at the departmental, medical school, and national level, we must come together to further promote our specialty across the spectrum of undergraduate medical education. The first step has already been taken with the formation of the Academy of CDEM.
