Member Testimonial: 

"WACEP has been an integral part of my professional life for nearly 15 years. I was pulled in because of the camaraderie with other emergency physicians and have stayed an active member because of the tremendous positive impact it has on the everyday practice of emergency medicine. From protecting physicians from frivolous litigation to streamlining the evaluation of patients in mental health crisis and even simplifying continuing education requirements, WACEP is there.“  ~Mike Repplinger, MD, PhD, FACEP

We are excited to announce that ACEP now offers the option to pay your membership dues through direct ACH transfers, also known as electronic check. ACH transfers are electronic, bank-to-bank money transfers processed through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network. Not only does this make your renewal seamless, but it also saves our chapter money! Paying by ACH greatly reduces the fees that ACEP and our chapter must remit to the credit card companies and allows us to put more dollars directly towards the advocacy efforts and other member benefits that you value.

This new payment option is available on the membership application for new and renewing members, while those who are using installments and auto-renew can easily update their payment information any time by accessing the Payment Methods section of My Account on ACEP's website.
