# Like-minded Emergency Medicine professionals

## The CEEM Think Tank

The International Centre for Excellence in the Emergency Medicine, CEEM, is a Swiss – South African brainchild. As a NGO, it provides a platform for likeminded emergency medicine providers, trainers, associations and societies from all over the world to come together and improve EM.
