As the largest group representing emergency physicians in our state, the New Jersey chapter of ACEP has held an important place in my life since I started the journey of my emergency medicine career. I am a born and raised ‘Jersey Girl.’ I completed both medical school and residency in the state, and, like you, I now practice as one of thousands of emergency physicians serving our communities in this great state.
I cherish the qualities that make this state unique, and I hold the same regard for the practice of our specialty. We face distinctive challenges in the house of medicine – managing every patient, of every age and diversity, and we do so 365 days a year, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. We do not quit in the face of natural disasters, pandemics, over capacity hospitals, reimbursement cuts and many other threats to our livelihoods. These are just a few of the challenges we face, and when we tackle them together, we are really good at coming up with solutions and advocating for them at every level. It is my promise to you as president of the chapter, that I will not quit in representing you, advocating for you and helping you fulfill the promise that we all made as emergency physicians – to serve our communities.
New Jersey ACEP is led by a diverse, dedicated and brilliant group of emergency physicians. We encourage every emergency physician in the state to become involved and join us as we continue our journey in supporting the needs of our members. Please see our list of membership meetings held within the next year, and consider attending our Scientific Assembly, held in Somerset, NJ on September 18th, 2024. Please do not hesitate to reach out to myself or any of the Board of Directors if there is anything we can do to help you in your emergency medicine career.
Sincerely,
Jessica M. Maye, DO, FACEP
NJ-ACEP President
