Each ACEP member should have received a hard copy, but the 24-page document also can be accessed online. In an email to members announcing the release of the Impact Report, ACEP President Alison J. Haddock, MD, FACEP pointed out that “ACEP confronted our challenges and achieved key victories, bringing immediate relief while laying the groundwork for future success. Our 2024 Impact Report highlights these efforts. In 2024, we:  

• Engaged with the FTC and DOJ on consolidation and non-competes  

• Pushed for national action on boarding  

• Advocated for legislation preventing violence against physicians  

• Piloted an ED Accreditation Program to improve your practice   

Your continued membership drives these accomplishments and empowers ACEP to protect and secure the future of emergency medicine. ACEP will never stop fighting for you!”  

The Impact Report breaks down initiatives on issues that matter most to emergency physicians, such as boarding, scope of practice, ED violence, reimbursement, leadership, and more. It also offers a glimpse into ACEP’s advocacy on the federal, state, and local level. For example, ACEP analyzed more than 7,450 pages of federal regulations in 2024 to determine their impact on emergency medicine. The College filed four amicus briefs in court cases related to EMTALA violations, abortion, and the flawed implementation of the surprise billing law. Advocacy victories highlighted in the report show the importance of collaboration with ACEP chapters.  

The Impact report also demonstrates how ACEP is raising the bar for the specialty through accreditation programs.
