Hone Your Business Skills

What’s the RUC, and why should you care? Healthcare is a business, and the AMA’s Relative Value Scale Update Committee makes recommendations that impact how much money you receive for patients that you treat. ACEP is the only emergency medicine organization with representation on the RUC. We use our seat at the table to defend your reimbursement and be your voice when critical decisions are being made.

Stay Up to Date on EM Issues

Worried about things like scope creep, workforce challenges, or private equity in medicine? ACEP firmly believes that every patient deserves to have their care overseen by a board-certified emergency physician. We spend our time educating legislators and the public on the difference in provider training and the impact on quality of care, especially for our most vulnerable and most acute patients. We are also fighting for emergency physicians in this rapidly changing health care landscape and are working directly with the FTC and other solutions related to the corporatization of EM.

Your Voice, Amplified

ACEP is protecting and advancing your career behind the scenes every day, but we can’t do it alone. When physicians come together to advocate for themselves and their patients, they give a unified voice to the physician community they represent. Specialty organizations help to set guidelines for clinical care, ensure that those entering the field are appropriately trained and qualified, and hold key players in the industry accountable to the highest moral and ethical standards.
