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.

  • “I've been an instructor for the <several other national training organizations> and in all my years I have never worked with anyone as helpful as ECSI.”

    "I must say I have been very impressed so far with your courses, both online and offline. The quality of your content, the training flexibility, and cost of materials is really the best in the industry currently."

    “I am an instructor trainer for <several other national organizations>, and with competent instructors, ECSI offers the best available CPR, First Aid, Wilderness First Aid, First Responder, and Professional Rescuer materials.”

     

    Raymond  A.  Levy

    “I have switched from <other national organizations> to ECSI for several reasons. ECSI advantages include: Inexpensive books that include cards at no cost; the ability to be your own teaching institution, making it easier to issue cards and maintain your own records; the ability to purchase cards in sheets of 9 at less than $1/card w/o buying books; free CPR cards with First Responder or EMT texts (since the material is covered in the text); instructor-based record keeping; grandfathering of present instructors from AHA, NSC, ASHI and ARC; instructor packages that include DVD instruction and PowerPoint presentations without any demands on exactly how instructors run their classes; and the cards are accepted by OEMS and other agencies.”

    "We absolutely love ECSI 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."
