The theme this year: Bridging Cultures, Strengthening Communities

Staff serving indigenous and rural communities are invited to participate in a multi-day gathering April 28th - May 1st, 2025 in the Seattle Area (both in-person and virtual options for joining will be available) to empower healthcare professionals to not only provide excellence in emergency medical care, but to do so in a manner that honors and respects the historical and cultural context of the communities they serve.

The theme of the 2025 national emRIC (Emergency Medicine with Rural and Indigenous Communities) gathering is Bridging Cultures, Strengthening Communities.
