Wellness Section

The ACEP Wellness Section is dedicated to improving the well-being of emergency physicians by addressing the systems and structures that drive burnout—not by placing the burden on individual resilience alone. We empower emergency physicians with practical tools, evidence-based strategies, and shared expertise to create meaningful change within their departments.

If you’re frustrated with your current work environment and don’t know where to start—but want to make it better—this section is for you.

If you want to learn best practices from leaders who have been advancing emergency physician wellness for years, this section is for you.

Our goal is to help emergency physicians thrive, remain in the workforce, and reconnect with what brings them joy—both on shift and off shift.
