Membership

Committee membership gives an opportunity to become involved in the leadership of GSACEP and help shape our chapter’s future. Committee membership is open to both attending and resident physicians. Chapter committee membership is excellent experience to use as a stepping stone to national ACEP committee membership. Most committee business is conducted via email or over conference calls a few times a year.

Our membership committee is focused on recruiting and retaining members for GSACEP. Members develop recruiting materials, coordinate residency visits, and contact former and potential members.

Chair: Laura Tilley, MD

Newsletter

The newsletter committee maintains the GSACEP website and focuses on keeping members in touch. Social media networking is managed through Facebook and Twitter. New directions include providing podcasts of GSS lectures to all members and seeking new ways to communicate. The EPIC newsletter is also edited by communications committee members.
