The Western Journal of Emergency Medicine (WestJEM) is a peer‑reviewed, open‑access medical journal focused on emergency medicine, affiliated with the California Chapters of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine and the American College of Emergency Physicians. Based in Orange, California, the publication serves as a platform for original research and reviews that address clinical decision-making, efficiency in evaluation and treatment, patient safety, and medical education, while also examining the role of technology and information transfer in emergency care. Its scope includes injury prevention and population health, as well as clinical imaging, aiming to support improved systems of care and overall community health outcomes in the Western United States and Western Hemisphere. The journal is indexed in PubMed with full text in PubMed Central, reflecting its accessibility to the broader medical community. In recent years, WestJEM has announced initiatives such as a public metrics dashboard to inform residents about daily productivity and the development of web-based evaluation tools to enhance mobile accessibility for clinical assessment.
