AAEM - The American Academy of Emergency Medicine

AAEM - The American Academy of Emergency Medicine The American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM) is the specialty society of emergency medicine. A physician's primary duty is to the patient.

The integrity of this doctor-patient relationship requires that emergency physicians control their own practices free of outside interference. We aspire to a future in which all patients have access to board certified emergency physicians. The Principles

1. The ideal practice situation in emergency medicine affords each physician an equitable ownership stake in the practice. Such ownership entails responsibility to the practice beyond clinical services.

2. Emergency physicians should have control over their professional fees and should not engage in fee-splitting.

3. The role of emergency medicine management companies should be to help physicians manage their practice. The practice should be owned by and controlled by its physicians and not by a management company.

4. Medical societies should actively encourage the creation and enforcement of statutes prohibiting the corporate practice of medicine.

5. Medical societies should not accept financial support from entities that do not adhere to the above principles.

6. Emergency medicine specialty societies should work towards the goal of establishing a workforce sufficient to ensure that all emergency departments in the United States and its territories are staffed by emergency physicians certified by either the American Board of Emergency Medicine or the American Board of Osteopathic Emergency Medicine.

Thank you to Representatives Haley Stevens (D-MI) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) for bringing greater attention to this critical issue. No one should feel that asking for help puts their career, reputation, or future at risk. It’s critical that we create a culture where asking for help is met with support. ***deAwareness

Thank you to Senators Warren (D-MA), Wyden (D-OR) and Merkely (D-OR) and Representatives Hoyle (D-OR), Subramanyan (D-VA), and Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for introducing the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act of 2026!

For more than 30 years, AAEM has advocated against corporate control of medicine. This legislation is an important step forward, and AAEM helped inform its development, bringing the experiences and concerns of emergency physicians directly to congressional leaders.

Thank you to our members. Your membership gives AAEM the strength to keep showing up, advocating, and making sure emergency physicians have a voice in Washington.

The Provider Reimbursement Stability Act (S. 5180/H.R. 8163) addresses a persistent problem for physicians: unpredictable changes to Medicare reimbursement.

By limiting large year-to-year payment fluctuations and regularly accounting for rising practice costs, the bill would make it easier for physician practices to budget, maintain staffing, and keep up with the cost of delivering care.
