The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is a professional organization of emergency medicine physicians in the United States. ACEP publishes the Annals of Emergency Medicine and the Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open (JACEP Open).[1]

ACEP is a partner of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID).[2]

## History

[edit]

The organization was founded August 16, 1968, by eight physicians in Lansing, Michigan. [3][4][5] ACEP established the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) in 1976.[4]

### COVID-19

[edit]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, ACEP participated in a number of efforts to promote the uptake and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, including as a participant in the COVID-19 Vaccine Education and Equity Project led by the Alliance for Aging Research, HealthyWomen and the National Caucus and Center on Black Aging.[6]

In early 2021, ACEP received an $8,000 grant from Pfizer to fund a public service announcement on vaccine confidence.[7] On March 19, 2021, ACEP published a joint statement in support of COVID-19 vaccines alongside the American College of Medical Toxicology and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine.[8]
