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.
