ECPS at ACEP26: Section Meeting and Happy Hour
Early career physicians from across the country will be in Chicago next month, and the Early Career Physicians Section has two places for you to find each other. All section members are welcome at both — come for the business, stay for the people.

McCormick Place, Level 1 — W192C
Lunch, elections, the Golden Blade Award, and a conversation with an emergency physician who competed in the Olympic Winter Games. This is the one time all year that ECPS members from every state are in the same room.

As an early career emergency physician, you have reached the income you trained years to earn — and with it, a set of decisions that all arrive at once. Serving EM since 2006, we bring every facet of your financial life into a single view; integrating debt, insurance, investments, taxes, and cash flow; providing guidance as dedicated and personalized as the care you give your patients. |

Happy Hour with the Reproductive Health Section
Tuesday, October 6 | 4:30 – 6:00 PM CT
Southern Chicago, 2000 South Wabash Ave — a short walk from McCormick Place
ECPS and the Reproductive Health Section are co-hosting a happy hour at Southern Chicago — drinks, conversation, and a real Chicago restaurant instead of a hallway. Come meet other early career physicians, catch up with the newest section in the College, and enjoy the city for a couple of hours. This gathering is supported by FeminEM and Access Bridge.
No RSVP needed. This one won't appear in the ACEP26 app — it's just for our sections — so add it to your calendar now.
