Welcome to FCEP’s Leadership Academy
FCEP’s Leadership Academy is a year-long program designed to equip you with the organizational education, skills training, mentoring, and guided experiences you will need to succeed as a leader in emergency medicine. Emergency physicians are primed to lead, not only our teams and departments, but our communities, legislators, and other leaders. Our specialty needs you – and FCEP is ready to be the catalyst for your growth and success.

The power of FCEP is harnessed through interpersonal connections. Throughout the college are individuals that are leaders in every aspect of our field. As a Leadership Academy participant, you will be connected with individuals who can augment your current interests, or help foster a deeper connection to an area you are interested in exploring. The end result will be reciprocal relationships that foster personal and professional growth for everyone involved.
This program will also immerse you in the workings of FCEP. You will have the opportunity to participate in board meetings, help organize and plan our various activities throughout the year, and get a taste for how FCEP functions at an organizational level.
Your participation will not only deepen your connection to the day-to-day functions of the college, but also help identify you as an asset that may be tapped for future leadership opportunities within the organization. Many of our current and past FCEP leaders are Academy graduates.
President’s Dr. Kristin McCabe-Kline, Dr. Sanjay Pattani, and Dr. Damian Caraballo.
Most importantly, FCEP’s Leadership Academy is designed to meet you where you are. Some participants already have extensive leadership experience and in-depth knowledge of specialized areas of our field, but may not have the connections they need for the next step in their career. Others have a particular interest in a facet of the world of emergency medicine, but have not yet found the best way to become involved in this area. Others come to the program with minimal outside experience, but feel the draw to become more engaged.
Fortunately, because of the flexible nature of our Leadership Academy, leaders of any variety— emerging or established—will benefit from this program. FCEP is looking for individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to emergency medicine today and who desire to be the leaders in our industry tomorrow. If
you are reading this letter, you must be one of these individuals. I look forward to working with you and answering any questions you may have, and wish you continued success in your endeavor to grow your leadership potential.
Sincerely,
