NEMPAC is participating in more than 240 congressional races assisting candidates for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives who will best represent the interests of emergency physicians and patients in Congress next year. NEMPAC is one of the top four medical specialty PACs along with anesthesiology, orthopedic surgery, and radiology. Because only ACEP members can contribute to NEMPAC, this success is a direct result of the support of ACEP leaders and individual members who understand that political advocacy is a necessity for advancing the specialty.

EMF Reports Highly Successful Conference, ACEP Match

Boosted by a “Boot Scootin’ Party,” where attendees were treated to a concert by award-winning country artist Jack Ingram, the Emergency Medicine Foundation raised more than $250,000 over six days at the Council Meeting and Scientific Assembly. The Council Challenge yielded more than $158,000, easily surpassing its 2012 goal.

ACEP announced during the conference that it will match all individual donations to EMF – dollar for dollar. Dr. Andrew Sama, ACEP President, said in his induction speech during the Council Meeting that the Board of Directors recently made the decision to invest in the future of emergency medicine. “Research funded by EMF has been important to the growth and improvement of our specialty,” Dr. Sama said. “There are many important practice issues that need investigating for the future of emergency care. We also want to fund and develop young researchers to the extent possible.”

This year’s matching contribution program from ACEP, which will match up to $1 million in individual donations, is the first step in a plan to begin building an endowment for EMF.

Also at the 2012 Scientific Assembly, four members joined the Wiegenstein Legacy Society, a group whose members have agreed to give a portion of their estates to EMF. To celebrate EMF’s 40th anniversary, the foundation also pushed for membership into the 1972 Club. These are members who have agreed to give $1,972 to EMF, and 23 new members joined during the 4-day conference.

Virtual ACEP Offers The Entire Conference

For the first time, ACEP attendees took advantage of a new member benefit that brings the entire conference to their computer or mobile device. It’s called Virtual ACEP, and it includes access to full-motion video capture of the entire meeting with more than 270 hours of educational content.

Whether you couldn’t make it Denver or you just couldn’t attend all the courses you wanted to, Virtual ACEP will bridge the gaps. Watch presenters’ slides while listening to fully synchronized audio as if you were actually attending each session. It features secure online access from any standard browser and can be viewed on several devices, including iPad, iPhone, or Android 2.2 or better. Learn more at www.acep.org.
