THE VOICE OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE IN VIRGINIA.

We represent the Emergency Physicians and their teams who stand ready to care for any person, for any condition, 24/7/365.

New for VACEP 2025, we will convene multiple ED medical directors and healthcare attorneys in an afternoon summit to discuss issues and share ideas that will make you a better leader, help you plan ahead, and give you knowledge to better manage medical operations. The Summit takes place on Friday afternoon, Feb. 21. Get this on your calendar now.
