Emergency medicine continues to face many headwinds, from patient boarding to reimbursement challenges and cuts in federal funding. Yet, emergency physicians remain strong and committed to delivering excellent care despite the many obstacles we face.
The NC College of Emergency Physicians continues to stand with you and the people we serve. We are driven by our mission to promote excellence in emergency medicine and advocate for physicians, our care teams, and patients across North Carolina.
Over the next year, we will advance our advocacy on both a state and federal level to promote a safe and supportive work environment. We aim to expand our membership and serve as the leading voice for emergency physicians within the halls of our state capital. While current and future legislation may threaten the stability and safety of our work environment, the College will continue to speak to leaders across the healthcare landscape to advocate for the emergency physician and the patients in our care.
