About Us
AAEM-PG empowers local, independent, democratic emergency physician groups to meet their full potential.
Our member groups practice in a setting based on fairness and transparency where each physician is an owner. AAEM believes physician groups comprised of local physician owners provide the highest level of care and are most invested in the long-term success of their hospital partners and community.
AAEM-PG provides support to independent democratic emergency physician groups – our member groups retain full ownership of their practices. Profits are re-invested into the group (competing national groups typically spend 20-40% of revenues on corporate overhead and profit). AAEM-PG can also assist in the formation of new emergency medicine groups.
