Annual PA Delegation to ACEP Council
Each year, the PACEP Board of Directors appoints PACEP members who will represent the chapter at the ACEP Council.
A councillor/alternate councillor is a key participant in the leadership and development of ACEP policy and has the responsibility to voice the concerns of their (Pennsylvania) constituents on the floor of the Council meeting and in reference committees. Councillors can also express the will of their constituents by voting for or against resolutions and electing board members and Council officers.
Councillors and alternates will be a part of PACEP’s resolution planning and writing efforts, discussion of and response to all other resolutions selected for review at the Council meeting, and onsite PA Delegation events.

PACEP Delegation to ACEP Council
Pennsylvania worked hard in the Golden City. We advocated for high-quality care in rural and critical access hospitals this year. Specifically, the chapter strongly recommended that patients living in these geographic areas in the state should have care teams led by emergency physicians with onsite supervision of advanced practice providers. In conjunction, PACEP believes that patients have the right to know whether emergency physicians staff an emergency department via signage. PACEP continues to be integral in providing practical and effective strategies for battling the ongoing opioid crisis. For instance, PACEP champions telehealth as one approach to help meet the increasing need for patient care in treating opioid use. Below please find a list of Pennsylvania's resolutions and the actions taken by Council delegations.
1. Onsite Supervision of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants (adopted)
2. Telehealth Bridge Model for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (adopted)
3. Signage at Emergency Departments with Onsite Emergency Physicians (adopted as amended)
4. Law Enforcement and Intoxicated Patients in the ED (referred to the Board)
5. ED Staffing at Critical Access Hospitals, Rural Emergency Hospitals, Outpatient Eds (not adopted)
