Petition for an ACEP Section of Membership

I, the undersigned, petition ACEP to establish a Hospital Leadership section. 

The Board of Directors has established annual section dues at $40 per section for regular members. Medical students, emergency medicine resident members and individuals in fellowship training programs receive free membership in the Young Physicians Section, may join another section of their choice for free and join additional sections for only $20 each.

I, the undersigned, realize that by filling out this form, I am indicating my intent to become a dues-paying member of the Hospital Leadership section in addition to my regular ACEP dues.

The ACEP Bylaws require 100 or more College members to petition the Board of Directors to form a section.

Prospective Section Objectives

  • Provide a networking opportunity for ACEP members who are currently in hospital leadership positions or aspire to be.
  • Provide a mentoring platform for ACEP members who are interested in getting into these type of roles.
  • Provide a forum for discussions on physician leadership development, especially from the perspective of an emergency physician.
  • Provide resources, both within and outside of emergency medicine, for knowledge advancement and career development. 
 

Subject Area

  Given the broad area of expertise and interface with the hospital community, emergency physicians are increasingly assuming hospital leadership roles.  Across the country, they are serving as CEOs, CMOs, and in other senior hospital leadership positions.
 

Furthering the College

As more emergency physicians and ACEP members move into hospital leadership roles, there is not a good forum for these members to maintain their foundation in emergency medicine while advancing in their hospital careers.  As physicians are just as likely to be in these roles in academic and community settings, no organization is as well suited as ACEP to be a home for such a community.
 

Proposed First Year Activities

  • Establish a networking database.
  • Establish a mentoring program for early-career physicians interested in advancing into such role.
  • Establish a quarterly newsletter that will provide educational links and career opportunities.
