Enhance your Leadership Skills with AAEM & ACPE!

We are excited to announce AAEM's new partnership with the American College of Physician Executives (ACPE)! We have reached an agreement whereby our members will receive the ACPE member rate on any of their course offerings when you login through the AAEM portal found on the member's only page. ACPE offers many courses in business principles, leadership and management.

Hear from ACPE President, Dr. Lawrence Riddles, welcoming AAEM members:

"As a group, emergency physicians are naturals for leadership positions within their hospitals. We interact with all specialties daily, we know the strengths and weaknesses of the facility, and we interact with the administration, nursing, and ancillary services as well. I urge all of you to take a look at the ACPE course offerings and take advantage of this new liaison."
-William T. Durkin, Jr., MD MBA FAAEM
AAEM President, 2012-2014

He outlines the circumstances where a court may enforce a restrictive covenant, and describes how AAEM has directly advocated for individuals subjected to unfair restrictive covenants.
