Through professional education, patient and physician advocacy, public information, and research, ACEP strives to promote the highest quality of emergency medical care and to ensure its availability to all who seek it. To qualify for certification, fellows of the ACEP must have 3 years of practice experience and must perform a variety of activities or community services outside their regular practice. To aid in meeting educational needs, the ACEP offers various national courses for all emergency health care practitioners and home study courses. An extensive selection of books, manuals, and monthly publications is also available. Medicine is a constantly changing science and not all therapies are clearly established.
