ACEP Now: Vol 35 – No 06 – June 2016- Provide environmental data that are important to the specialty of EM.
- Create a safe space to share stories, create dialogue, new ideas, and awareness.
- Capture results and identify areas of focus that will influence a two- to three-year Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan for ACEP.
Most of the Summit participants will remain as members of a new Diversity and Inclusion Expert Panel that will serve Dr. Parker and future ACEP presidents as topical experts and champions for years to come. Additionally, Dr. Parker is creating a Diversity and Inclusion Task Force to begin work this summer on strategies and tactics for ACEP to begin to implement at ACEP16.
“ACEP and its Board knows this is the beginning of a journey; a journey of cultural change to transform our organization that will span numerous years,” states Dr. Parker. “We are excited to begin the journey and encourage everyone to join us.”

Mark Rabold, MDI just finished 30 years as an ER Doc and have always said “Thank God that the ER is the last bastion against the lunacy and stupidity of political correctness”. I was deeply saddened to see that this is no longer true. We used to be the no BS specialty and just did what needed to be done without bowing to political whims. It is sad that Dr. Klauer is now a true believer and thinks we should be too. It appears that I retired just in time. Best of luck folks! You are gonna need it.
