Note from the Executive Director
Elizabeth Mundinger
EDPMA Executive Director
In this month’s issue, you can register for the EDPMA September Webinar -- "The Future of Emergency Medicine" or apply for EDPMA's new Fellowship Program which will help further your knowledge, experience, and exposure to the highest level of leadership in the business of emergency medicine. You'll also meet our new members and get to know more about VEP Healthcare in our New Member Spotlight. To engage even more with your EDPMA colleagues, you'll find ways to join an EDPMA Committee and EDPMA’s members-only LinkedIn Group. You can find new ways to support EDPMA through relatively inexpensive 2020 sponsorship packages and purchasing discounted exhibit tables for Summit 2021. And don’t forget to respond to EDPMA’s Call for Speakers for upcoming EDPMA Workshops, Webinars, and the 2021 Solutions Summit.

Happy reading!

Apply for EDPMA’s New Fellowship Program!
The Emergency Department Practice Management Association (EDPMA) Fellowship is a new educational opportunity that identifies and cultivates future leaders in the business of emergency medicine and helps them to further their knowledge, experience, and exposure to the highest level of leadership in the business of emergency medicine. The fellowship program will provide additional training, education, and networking opportunities in healthcare business, management, and advocacy, and will cover much of the travel cost related to this additional training.
Visit EDPMA's New Vendor Showcase!
At the top of the EDPMA website is a link to our new EDPMA Vendor Showcase where you can learn about products and services of our showcase sponsors. Please visit EDPMA's Vendor Showcase to learn more about our generous sponsors.
Join an EDPMA Committee Today!
EDPMA's committees offer a great opportunity to hear from experts in the business, work on common problems together, highlight your own expertise, and get to know others in the business. Most committees have open membership where any member can join. Committee membership should not be seen as a new responsibility you need to fit into your busy schedule. In fact, you can skip meetings when they are inconvenient and can just listen in if you do not want to participate. So, please do not be shy. Join us!
EDPMA’s First Virtual Workshop Was a Huge Success!
EDPMA’s first virtual workshop, “Optimizing Your Practice for a Pandemic or other Critical Access Crisis” which took place on August 11-12, 2020, was a huge success. Over 170 registrants heard from expert speakers who generously shared their expertise and personal experiences about surviving and thriving in a pandemic.
