Chapter Mission
Nebraska ACEP is the local chapter of national ACEP, the American College of Emergency Physicians. Nebraska ACEP exists to support the availability of high-quality emergency medical services to all patients within the state of Nebraska, and to advocate for our members, our patients and our specialty.
Founded in 1989, the chapter actively represents more than 160 emergency physicians, residents and medical students working at hospitals throughout Nebraska. Nebraska ACEP is a diverse and democratic organization that promotes and preserves the integrity and independence of emergency medicine.
We are actively involved in a wide range of issues that matter to emergency physicians and our patients, including emergency medical services, public health and safety, and disaster preparedness and response.

You are also learning about issues that affect you and your patients and you are contributing to the advancement of your specialty.
