EP Amnesia Merit Badge – Let's Hear From You!

The EP Amnesia Award!

You walk into the ED, have three things on your mind, and suddenly forget why you went into that room in the first place. Sound familiar? 😂

Emergency medicine keeps us moving, thinking, and multitasking to give the best care for our patients.

We want to hear from YOU!

🏅 Does this merit badge deserve a spot in the Maryland ACEP collection? What's another emergency medicine moment that deserves its own merit badge?

Drop your ideas in the comments! Let's see what our Maryland EM community comes up with.

A powerful conversation. A shared commitment. A safer future for emergency departments.

Yesterday, Maryland ACEP hosted From Crisis to Prevention: A Town Hall on Workplace Violence in the ED — bringing together emergency medicine professionals, healthcare team members, leaders, and community partners for an important conversation about preventing workplace violence and creating safer environments for everyone.

The discussion highlighted the importance of sharing experiences, identifying gaps, learning from one another, and working together toward meaningful solutions. Real progress takes collaboration, a willingness to address challenges, and a commitment to turning discussion into action.

A special thank-you to our moderators, presenters, special guests, Senator-Elect Tiffany T. Alston, and MONSE Director Stefanie Mavronis. We’re also grateful to everyone who participated, contributed ideas, and helped move this conversation forward.

Yesterday was an important step — but this work doesn't stop here. We look forward to continuing the conversation, strengthening partnerships, and identifying actionable next steps to help make Maryland’s emergency departments safer for healthcare teams and the patients they serve.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 (Part 2)

𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃

Building on the work from past years, I see that we're hitting critical mass, as evidenced by the number of people actively serving on MDCEP committees (Join us), the activity of our Town Halls, the continued success of our resolutions, and the new coalitions we're building.

The workplace violence bill is just the beginning. The list of issues is daunting; pediatric boarding of psychiatric patients, the boarding of ADMITTED hospital patients in the Emergency Department, unfair insurance denials, more and more people coming off of insurance, reimbursement/payments wrongly sometimes illegally delayed or denied creating fiscal stress on hospitals and healthcare systems.

These are troubled times for US medicine and we must meet the challenges, each and every one.

Maryland ACEP is a strong capable chapter. We represent 1200 physicians in Maryland, though only ½ are members. Join us. Together we can have even more impact in advocating for emergency medicine and even more so for our patients.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 (Part 1)

𝐓𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 / 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄

We have the Workplace Violence Town Hall is coming up on 𝐎𝐜𝐭 𝟐𝟖𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐭 𝟓𝐏𝐌 (Spread the word!). Drs. Mann and McCarville have created a stellar program. (See picture)

We’ve invited the Emergency Nurses Association, the Maryland Nurses Association and the 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East as well as inviting nursing departments and nurse training programs across Maryland

This is part of a coordinated effort to get the Sacred Spaces Workplace Violence Prevention Bill passed this coming legislative session.

Maryland lags behind other states in protecting its healthcare workers. A 2026 Health Affairs Scholar study found that 45 states had laws protecting healthcare workers against workplace violence. FORTY-FIVE states! A study published in the Annals of Epidemiology noted that California had a 48% decrease in assaults in healthcare workers following their passage of such protection.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐄𝐑𝐒

The bill's author, Delegate Tiffany Alston, is our Legislator of the Year Award for 2026 for her efforts to date.

Finally, we need people to testify. You can either submit written testimony or arrange to testify in person.

𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 — 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐞.

And contact your legislators- tell them it’s time

Following the bill's passage (positive thinking here), we'll work on a public awareness campaign. It’s not enough to pass the bill, we have to let people know about it.

The whole idea is that it should be ingrained in the public consciousness that hitting a nurse, tech or doc is as bad as hitting a cop.

After this town Hall, our next will be on pediatric psychiatric boarding. This Town Hall will be in early December, specific date to be determined.

10/12/2026

Violence in our emergency departments is a serious issue—and protecting the people who care for our communities must be a priority. Our emergency physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, technicians, and entire ED teams deserve to work in a safe environment.

Join Maryland ACEP for an important virtual town hall to identify gaps in care, share real-world solutions, and build stronger systems to prevent violence and protect our teams.
