ADVANCING EMERGENCY CARE
The Arizona College of Emergency Physicians (AzCEP) exists to support the highest quality emergency medical care and to serve as advocates for our patients, our members and our specialty.
Are you concerned about where emergency medicine is going and who is working for your personal and professional concerns? Emergency Physicians face a wide variety of challenges in an era of rapid change. We must be united to protect our specialty and to protect our patients. Advocacy is a main priority of ours.

2025 EM Opioid Summit
November 5, 2025
Open to ALL EM Providers & ED Nurses!
8th Annual EM Opioid Summit
We feel we have come a long way in the last 8 years from asking you (EM providers) to prescribe fewer opioids, to co-prescribing naloxone, to now educating you on inducing with buprenorphine and maintaining someone on meds for use disorder.
Our speakers this year include new experts such as Cheri Oz from DEA and Adena J. Bernstein, Arizona's Assistant Attorney General. You'll also hear from the ADHS Medical Director, Dr. Lisa Villarroel and one of our own toxicology experts, Dr. Dan Quan. So, we invite you to sign-up soon to take advantage of this program.
