Dear Governor,
The American Academy of Emergency Medicine represents over 8000 emergency physicians and emergency medicine residents across America, and is the only professional society for the doctors who staff our nation’s emergency departments that restricts membership to board-certified specialists in the field. These dedicated physicians are on the front line of the COVID-19 epidemic, placing themselves in harm’s way to serve those who need them and fulfill the noblest traditions of the medical profession – and risking the health and perhaps even the lives of their families at the same time.
