ACEP Now: Vol 33 – No 02 – February 2014

Slated to become ACEP’s 33rd section, the Freestanding Emergency Centers Section was formed under the leadership of emergency physician Joe Ybarra, MD, of Harlingen, Texas. Dr. Ybarra expects the new section to begin with 119 members. The main objectives of the new FEC Section are to:

  • Host a collaborative dialogue regarding pertinent FEC issues optimizing emergency-medicine values as espoused by ACEP.
  • Educate ACEP members, the medical community, and the public about what FECs are, what they do, and how they fit into the patient’s circle of health care providers.
  • Collaborate with ACEP leadership in establishing a national set of standards for FECs that could be referred to as a unified national resource for legislatures, physicians, and the medical community.
  • Keep ACEP membership relevant to those who don’t practice in hospital emergency departments and to keep ACEP as a voice for all ED physicians (whether they practice in hospital EDs or FECs).
