Practice Autonomy and Group Independence

EMA is a corporation that respects the professional sovereignty of medical practice.  EMA recognizes emergency medicine physicians as highly valued professionals who deserve to be justly compensated for the uncompromising dedication and hard work they exhibit every day. The EMA model of compensation encourages initiative and innovation in its hospital groups by returning income back to the contributing physicians at the local sites.

Chairman of the Board-EMA

The EMA model of management facilitates autonomous group practice while providing the advantages and benefits of a large company:

• Information technology systems
• Benefits and retirement programs
• Contract maintenance and stability
• Best practice innovations

EMA offers a powerful advocacy for physicians who value professional integrity and independence, ideals threatened by the commercialism confronting our profession. As single medical group practices struggle to survive,  – a company of medical groups like EMA will prove to be the optimal business model for emergency physicians in the new century.
