Physician Owned and Operated

The high caliber of EMA's physicians, with an exceptional percentage of board certified physicians, an extremely high physician retention rate, and a national reputation for excellence are a direct result of our philosophy of physician ownership and governance.

Because EMA physicians are afforded ownership and are given the opportunity to make a genuine contribution to their governance, they have a greater allegiance to their colleagues and to their contract hospitals.  EMA is therefore able to recruit and retain the highest caliber of emergency physicians, including many national leaders in the field.

Our record of contract longevity speaks for itself, with many contracts now held by EMA for more than two decades. Qualifications for partnership in EMA include demonstrated clinical proficiency, maintenance of appropriate credentials, maintenance of CME requirements and Board Certification, as well as having the personal qualities that make our physicians leaders at their contract sites.
