American College of Emergency Physicians
2020 Candidate Chats
As part of our mission to advocate for young physicians within emergency medicine, YPS officers conducted one-on-one candidate chats via Zoom with the physicians who are running for ACEP President-Elect and the ACEP Board of Directors. We asked them questions relevant to many young-physician concerns:
- What approach do you recommend ACEP take toward APP scope of practice and its impact on EM job security?
- What do you foresee being our biggest post-COVID job difficulties, and how would you address these if elected to the board?
- What can ACEP do to get young physicians more involved in ACEP leadership?
- With expanding residency programs, what are your plans for preserving emergency medicine practice?
- What do you think ACEP can do to increase the public presence of our board-certified emergency physicians and show the value that these board-certified emergency physicians provide to the public?
Watch the full videos or view the show notes for a very high-level summary from each Candidate Chat. ACEP elections will be held during the 2020 ACEP Council Meeting Oct. 24-25.
