Created and spearheaded by the American College of Emergency Physicians, the 2016 Emergency Medicine Wellness Week™ is an opportunity all emergency physicians and their colleagues to take the time to self-renew while staying dedicated to the highest quality patient care. 

Near-record attendance at ACEP15 in Boston brought new leadership, new faces, and healthy contributions to ACEP's advocacy program and the Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF).

We are approaching the home stretch in Trenton.  There are just a few more days in early January before the 2-year session comes to the end and we start a new legislative session where all the bills are introduced and start from scratch.  I will run a full report of all NJ-ACEP monitored bills that were signed into law in January and bills that NJ-ACEP successfully opposed.  Most notably, the bills dealing with Out of Network is, at this point, stalled.  We fully expect this debate to continue into the new legislative session in 2016.  For now, please note the following current actions of interest:

This is the first newsletter since ACEP15 in Boston which saw a record number of registrants.  NJ-ACEP had a wonderful reception at the Smith & Wollensky castle- and reason to celebrate following my election to the ACEP Board of Directors.  I am very excited with the opportunity to represent New Jersey's concerns.
