WASHINGTON, D.C.—In celebration of EMRA’s 50^th anniversary, ACEP and EMRA are recommitting to our longstanding partnership.

Since inception, ACEP and EMRA have been independent organizations, each dedicated to advancing the specialty and advocating for every emergency physician, EM physician-in-training, and EM-bound medical student. As we reflect on the incredible accomplishments of our partnership, we acknowledge and appreciate each organization’s unique contributions, and look forward to many more decades of working alongside each other.

Both organizations recognize that a strong ACEP and a strong EMRA —as well as a unified and collaborative ACEP-EMRA relationship —are essential for the future of emergency medicine.

This year marks a significant milestone as we celebrate EMRA’s 50 years of incredible growth and achievement, as well as the strength and maturity of the organization. EMRA is grateful for ACEP and the decades of support that have helped develop EMRA into the organization it is today, growing from a startup group of passionate residents to a major voice in the medical community. 

ACEP is proud to exclusively partner with the only fully independent resident organization in emergency medicine to together provide the highest quality of support, resources, leadership opportunities, and advocacy for our shared members. EMRA is proud to exclusively endorse ACEP as the professional home for emergency physicians throughout their career.

We appreciate that our strategic alignment and collaboration amplify our influence and impact on the specialty, providing leadership and advocacy opportunities for our members that are unrivaled in the field. We look forward to 50 more years of life-changing work through this unique and enduring partnership.
