Every day, emergency physicians fight for patients—not just in the ER, but on Capitol Hill and in their state legislatures. Stories You May Have Missed is ACEP’s video series highlighting the recent wins and ongoing advocacy efforts shaping the future of emergency care.

Watch the latest video to see how ACEP advocacy makes a real difference for physicians and patients.

Curious about the highlights in the video? Discover the full stories and learn more about the impact of the policies ACEP is fighting for:

• Standing up for science. ACEP addresses rapidly spreading misinformation about acetaminophen (Tylenol). 
• Endorsing evidence-based vaccine schedules. Amid CDC leadership and policy changes, ACEP makes it clear that high-quality, evidence-based vaccine schedules are an essential part of public health and patient safety.
• Improving health workers’ access to mental health care. ACEP and the ALL IN Foundation are working to eliminate stigmatizing questions about mental health from licensing and credentialing applications.
• Speaking out on consolidation risks. Two new studies underscore growing concerns and ACEP puts policymakers on alert: consolidation must never come at the expense of quality, access, or physician-led medical decision-making.
• Protecting physician eligibility for student loan forgiveness. ACEP urges the Dept. of Education to reconsider proposed changes and prioritize physician eligibility for this program.
• Calling for a ban on noncompete agreements. As regulators issue warning letters to employers and staffing companies, ACEP reaffirms the need to eliminate these restrictive clauses from employment contracts.
