We also launched the Reimbursement Leadership Development Program, a highly coveted opportunity for members interested in increasing their knowledge of reimbursement issues and serving ACEP in various ways. We had 72 applicants, and we selected some unbelievable people who are being groomed through this program.

Management Services

We just signed a new five-year shared services agreement with the Emergency Medicine Residents’ Association, an organization that continues to grow by leaps and bounds. We’re continuing to provide administrative support for the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors and the Society of Emergency Medicine Physician Assistants, both of which had record-breaking years in terms of attendance at their meetings and their financial performance. We’ve been asked to provide management services and administration for the large, growing FemInEM conference.

ACEP is blessed to have a very engaged Board of Directors and talented, dedicated staff. We have active and productive chapters, committees, task forces, and sections. Through collaboration and teamwork, we have helped ACEP make significant progress in achieving our mission.

Mr. Wilkerson is executive director of ACEP.
