My professional career spans 35-plus years of experience as an emergency physician, including bedside ED physician, administrator, advocate, educator, and business owner. My unique abilities can be divided into three specific areas: leadership, advocacy, and innovation.

• My leadership skills have been demonstrated throughout my career, most recently as a successful chairman of emergency medicine at St. Joseph’s Healthcare System in Paterson, New Jersey. This is an academic, urban ED in which I oversee care to more than 165,000 patients annually.
• As current President of New Jersey ACEP, I lead the chapter’s advocacy efforts, focusing on out-of-network billing (fair compensation for emergency care) and opioid legislation. I also serve on the New Jersey governor’s Advisory Committee on Trauma and the New Jersey Legislative Task Force to address psychiatric overcrowding.
• As an innovator, I have developed one of the nation’s first geriatric emergency departments as well as an emergency department–based palliative medicine program and remain as chief of both programs.

Additionally, I have learned that collaboration is vital to success in this health care environment, inviting diverse stakeholders to collaborate and design programs, policies, and procedures to improve care. An example of this would be as chair of ACEP’s Geriatric Section (2011–2012). With the ACEP President’s approval, I worked with members of ACEP, American Geriatrics Society, Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, and Emergency Nurses Association to identify the essential components of a geriatric ED. This was quite an accomplishment due to the varied interests of the individual associations. However, through collaboration over a two-year period, we developed the “Geriatric Emergency Department Guidelines,” which have been published in each organization’s professional journal.

Similar to the current ACEP Board members, in my everyday practice of emergency medicine, I support the mission and values of the College. My unique abilities not only complement the Board but also expand its capabilities in terms of leadership, advocacy, and innovation.
