Welcome to Milu EM

Milu-EM is a partnership between the Israeli Association of Emergency Medicine (IAEM) and experienced emergency medicine physicians from around the world.

Our goal

To partner volunteer emergency medicine (EM) physicians from across the world with Israeli emergency departments (EDs) across the country based on their current and projected needs.

Rationale

Since October 7, over 350K of Israel’s most productive citizens remain in miluim service (army reserve duty). These include EM residents and staff physicians, leaving several EDs across the country understaffed. Dedicated and hard-working Israel EM heroes could use our help to meet their current and projected ED needs.

Our Call to action

We are reaching out to assess your availability to volunteer at one of Israel’s EDs for a period of at least two weeks ASAP. There, you will be prioritized for a temporary medical license. Your volunteer service will include a combination of site-dependent clinical and educational support .

Process

These two weeks will serve as a strong foundation for further support in the coming months ahead, with opportunities for collaboration and partnerships beyond the current wartime challenges in the years that follow.

Is this for me?
