ACEP is committed to leading the charge that calls on all of us within emergency medicine to work together to evolve our profession so we can provide the best possible care for our patients.
- ACEP partnered with EMRA to submit a statement for the record for a Senate HELP Committee hearing on workforce shortages. The statement highlights how ongoing workforce shortages affect emergency care - including the importance of maintaining the physician-led team-based emergency care, persistent issues in providing emergency care in rural and underserved areas, issues regarding nurse staffing firm practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how these workforce shortages contribute to ED boarding.
