abstract: Several health, social and professional factors are forcing Emergency Physicians to rethink their role in the health system. Despite these challenges, there are a number of ways that we can evolve, including an increasing role for academic and subspecialty emergency medicine, which will ensure our specialty, remains vital and viable in the 21st century and beyond.
