My First Experience at the ACEP Council: A Journey of Learning and Engagement

Cpt Michael Ramirez, MD

As a 2nd year emergency medicine resident, attending the ACEP Council for the first time was both a privilege and a transformative experience. As one of the councilors representing the Government Services Chapter, I was introduced to the world of professional advocacy and leadership, shaping the future of emergency medicine. As I return to my residency program, I have a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to the field of emergency medicine. I am motivated to share what I learned with my colleagues and to encourage fellow residents to engage in advocacy efforts and get involved in Organizations within our specialty at every level. The ACEP Council is not just an event; it is a call to action for all of us to participate in shaping the future of our profession. I encourage every emergency medicine resident to consider attending the ACEP Council.  It is an opportunity to not only learn and grow but also to contribute to a vital conversation that affects our practice and our patients.

The “Invisible Corps” - Being Active Duty with the US Public Health Service

Knowing that all active duty military physicians will eventually leave their Services, GSACEP wants to help its members understand their career options, so they can make informed decisions on how they can make a smooth transition out of the armed forces. In this article, I wanted to share some additional details about what it is like to be an active duty physician in the USPHS. The USPHS is one of our country’s 8 uniformed services (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and NOAA round out the list) and traces its roots back to 1798 with the passage of the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.  Given the importance of maritime trade and commerce on the economic success and national security of a young nation, the Act provided for a way to collect monies to go into the Department of the Treasury to fund medical care for seamen and to build hospitals at ports to provide their care.
