The closure of American Physician Partners has disrupted thousands of emergency physicians’ lives and careers. In the days after the closure, ACEP sent letters to approximates 130 hospitals nationwide, urging them to prioritize consideration of the emergency physicians and the care of their communities. With a quick crowdsourcing effort in collaboration with Ivy Clinicians, ACEP was able to map most of these hospitals’ new contracts and used our influence to put pressure on the administrators to be accountable and consider many of ACEP’s long-standing policies as they move forward.

ACEP continues to support members through the situation by offering personal support and developing helpful resources for those affected. Keep reading for the new resources to help during uncertain times in your career. These can be found at acep.org/jobtransitionsupport.
