Through over 50 years of policies and advocacy, ACEP has fought to protect the autonomy of the emergency physician.
We're hearing from you that we should do more, and in this thread we want to share some of the bold steps ACEP is taking to fight for you. acep.org/administration/phys…

ACEP has fought for your protection. We developed due process bill language introduced this week & now the real battle begins. We set up a way to connect w/ your legislators. Your voice makes all the difference.

True due process reform for physicians has been an ACEP advocacy priority for years.
ACEP applauds the legislators for hearing our members and working with us to draft this legislation. Watch for more to come!

Today, the FTC voted 3-2 to ban non-compete clauses & make current ones unenforceable - a move that ACEP strongly supports. Using your stories & our influence, we helped ensure the FTC saw the impact of these predatory clauses. Link in bio to read more! 👀

ACEP Pres, CEO & SVP Advocacy met w/ Jonathan Kanter, US Asst AG for Antitrust & other @TheJusticeDept staff to present concerns about the negative impact of insurer consolidation on EPs and patients. ACEP is working to protect EP’s clinical autonomy as insurance companies acquire more market share.

Live segment on @FOX56News as we discuss the impact of consolidation and private equity in medicine with regards to cost, access, and outcomes. This has drawn the attention of the @WhiteHouse, US Senate, and the @FTC. @linakhanFTC @ACEPNow @emresidents youtu.be/NJoflc3x8tY
High impact conversations is absolutely correct! ACEP and EMRA Board members, staff and invited guests collaborating on ways to make the future of #EmergencyMedicine even stronger @ACEPNow @emresidents @LeonAdelman – at Charlotte, NC
EM docs are our mission - ACEP & EMRA leaders gathered this week in Charlotte to find ways to protect EPs & tackle today's toughest issues. Talks centered on education evolution, vertical integration, advocacy, unionization & other high impact issues #ACEPnation
#Advocacy Works! proud of the steps @ACEPNow has taken over the years to shine a light on this problem, bringing it to the attention of those in the @WhiteHouse – at Charlotte, NC
ACEP applauds @WhiteHouse for affirming the healthcare system should serve patients not profiteers. We support @FTC @TheJusticeDept @HHSGov for deserved scrutiny of corporate interests in medicine. We’re eager to continue our work w/ FTC Chair who joined us at ACEP23, DOJ & other partners. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…
