• Each year the RBS co-hosts an alumni reception at ACEP Scientific Assembly where alumni – with graduation dates spanning decades – are able to mingle and visit.
• To provide financial support for residency educational activities, including attendance at national conferences, and participation in international research and educational projects.
• Each year the RBS funds resident trips to national ACEP, AAEM, and SAEM conferences
• The RBS has stocked the clinical areas with an up-to-date EM reference library
• Each year the RBS pays for membership for the incoming class of residents in either ACEP or AAEM
