By nature of their longevity, members of this section have learned techniques to remain engaged and dedicated and have continued to grow and thrive in the specialty. We will share these stories and lessons and allow emergency physicians to build on proven strategies for success. As emergency physicians explore alternative fields for employment as side gigs or even exit strategies, we can offer advice based on our personal journeys.
As our section membership is aging, but travel remains a goal for multiple reasons, we decided to investigate some challenges and solutions gleaned by our members.

It is estimated that 1 in 10 Americans 65 or older have some form of cognitive impairment and are ultimately diagnosed with dementia.
First, a disclosure. I am an ACEP junkie. Totally addicted, not in remission, not even in rehab. So, I speak from the addict’s perspective only.
I broke my clinical EM habit with slow withdrawal; moved to a different region, took a job in urgent care (2003), cultivated an alternative income source, and quit practice entirely (2015) when the alternative became all-consuming timewise.
