Leadership

President’s Message

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is dedicated to supporting emergency medical care and advancing the interests of emergency physicians. We serve as a vital platform for emergency physicians to share knowledge, organize advocacy efforts, build community, and establish a collective identity.

 The Arkansas ACEP Chapter is renewing its commitment to these core principles. We are focused on providing value to our members by fostering a strong statewide community through events that emphasize education, strategic advocacy, and camaraderie.

We invite you to join us as we work to strengthen our community across Arkansas and enhance the safety of emergency medical care in the state.
