About Us
Chair’s Message
Our 2020-2022 section vision is to meet ED-palliative practicioners where they are. Our field is small. We all have found our way into this community and walk similar journeys. We're all being stretched (especially in this pandemic) - personally and professionally. More often than not, we end up re-inventing the same wheel. Let's share lessons and successes to learn openly from one another.
With this vision, the section has formed three Subcommittees - Clinical Skills, Program Development, and Research - to innovate, distill, and disseminate content widely. Across mediums (within ACEP, social media, etc), across institutions, and across organizations; I am grateful to our AAHPM, SAEM, and AAEM colleagues who partner with us in this shared spirit of collaboration.
Our Subcommittees hold monthly/regular workgroup calls. If interested, please let us know.
