About Wellness Section

Why Join the ACEP Professional Wellness Section? Because burnout is not a personal failure—it is a systems problem that requires collective action. The ACEP Professional Wellness Section brings together emergency physicians who want to move beyond surface-level solutions and create real, sustainable change within their departments. Members gain access to proven best practices, practical tools, national expertise, and a community of peers who are actively improving workflow, culture, and well-being in emergency medicine. Whether you’re just starting to ask, “Why does this feel so hard?” or you’re ready to lead meaningful change, this section offers the support, insight, and momentum to help you and your colleagues thrive—on shift and beyond.
