Community Emergency Medicine Excellence Award 
We are pleased to announce that the ACEP Board of Directors approved a new award to recognize individuals who have made a significant contribution in advancing emergency care and/or health care within the community in which they practice. While the College currently has a number of awards to recognize excellence in emergency medicine this award is focused on the emergency physician who has made a significant contribution to the practice of emergency medicine in their community. Examples of significant contributions to the specialty and community may include, but are not limited to, community outreach, public health initiatives, or exemplary bedside clinical care. 

Nominees must be an ACEP member for a minimum of five years and not received a national ACEP award previously. Entries are due no later than May 14, 2018. The nomination form and additional information can be found here.
