About the Publication

ACEP Now is an official publication of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Emergency physicians rely on ACEP Now for indispensable content that can be used in daily practice. With a rapidly evolving heath care system, emergency physicians need a trustworthy source for the most valuable and insightful information that impacts the practice of Emergency Medicine. That source is the award-winning monthly membership magazine, ACEP Now. Written by physicians for physicians, each issue delivers cutting edge news, practice changing tips, regulatory updates, and the most up to date information on health care reform.

ACEP Now contains articles written by physicians, experienced medical journalists, and staff of ACEP and other emergency medicine organizations. The content is not peer reviewed in a traditional sense, although the Medical Editor in Chief (EIC), members of the publication’s editorial advisory board, and ACEP staff do review all articles.

The magazine is distributed as both a monthly print issue and online at www.ACEPNow.com, with weekly emails (ACEP eNow) highlighting print and online exclusive content sent to ACEP members. It reaches almost 40,000 emergency physicians and other health care professionals who practice emergency care.
