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.

Advocating for an Emergency Medicine Experience at all US Medical Schools
Support of Telehealth Education in Emergency Medicine Residency
Offsite Supervision of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants
Updating and Enhancing ED Buprenorphine Treatment Training and Support
Advocacy for Syringe Services Programs and Fentanyl Test Strips

The chapter also put forward a memorial resolution honoring the memory of Samuel C Slimmer, Jr. MD, FACEP who passed away late last year. Many of the PACEP authored resolutions garnered support from other Council chapters and/or component bodies and all but two were adopted or referred to the Board of Directors.
