The Antiracist, Propatient Pledge of Emergency Medicine.

Abstract

Recognized as a specialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties over 40 years ago, emergency medicine is unique since its inception-providing care to all patients in all times of unscheduled, time-sensitive need. Members of our specialty-whether working in an academic or private practice setting-provide this care without regard to a patient's sex, sexual orientation, gender, creed, physical ability, ability to pay, or race/ethnicity. The last human determinant of health bears emphasis in our current climate of a race-based inequity crisis.
