ShowAbout the Author(s)

American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP)

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) exists to support quality emergency medical care and to promote the interests of emergency physicians. The Board of Directors has identified values that serve as the guiding principles for the specialty of emergency medicine. These values, and the objectives that follow, are the foundation of ACEP's planning processes and Council and Board actions. The values of the American College of Emergency Physicians are: Quality emergency care is a fundamental right and unobstructed access to emergency services should be available to all patients who perceive the need for emergency services. There is a body of knowledge unique to emergency medicine that requires continuing refinement and development. Physicians entering the practice of emergency medicine should be residency trained in emergency medicine. Quality emergency medicine is best practiced by qualified, credentialed emergency physicians. The best interests of patients are served when emergency physicians practice in a fair, equitable, and supportive environment. Emergency physicians have the responsibility to play the lead roles in the definition, management, evaluation, and improvement of quality emergency care.

  • "We absolutely love the ECSI and eACLS(TM) materials and the ease of administration of the whole process! It is much more user friendly than the other national training program we were using. We have already done First Aid/CPR/AED for faculty and several Professional Rescuer CPR courses."

    "With all the mandated requirements for fire departments, there is not enough time or space to provide training in the traditional classroom manner.  As the nurse consultant to the Sacramento Fire Department, I have found eACLS(TM) to be the perfect solution to provide up-to-date needed information to our 300+ paramedics.  The paramedics also like this method of learning because they can take the course at their own pace, review the materials at the station instead of a classroom setting, and complete the course over a period of time.  The tracking log for record keeping is also very handy."
