Abstract:
The year 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of emergency medicine (EM) as a medical specialty in Taiwan.

The themes emerging from this paper assist in understanding the characteristics of Taiwan EM specialty, and may serve as a guiding model for other countries where the EM specialty is undergoing a similar process of development and optimization.
