Texas College of Emergency Physicians

What Texas College of Emergency Physicians does

Texas College of Emergency Physicians (TCEP) is a 501c(6) nonprofit professional medical association and the Texas state chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). The organization represents more than 2,100 emergency physicians practicing across Texas in academic centers, urban and rural hospitals, large and small groups, and includes both board-certified and non-board-certified physicians, residents, and medical students. Its stated mission is promoting quality emergency care for all patients and representing the professional interests of emergency physicians in Texas.

TCEP operates a portfolio of member services rather than a unified technology platform. Core offerings include the CONNECT annual conference (CONNECT26 hosted 260+ attendees at Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront), the Medical Student Committee spanning 15 Texas medical schools, the TLAF leadership fellowship program (2026-2027 cohort), the EMPACT political advocacy and donation program, the EMphasis member newsletter, and a Career Center job board. The organization's digital infrastructure is built on MemberClicks for membership management, with membership acquisition routed through ACEP's national portal. TCEP conducts legislative advocacy at the state level, including Hill Day events, and coordinates with strategic partners Texas Medical Association (TMA) and Texas Alliance for Patient Access (TAPA).

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: membership dues collected via ACEP, conference and event sponsorships from emergency medicine staffing groups, healthcare systems, and medical device companies (HCA Healthcare, TeamHealth, USACS, IES Healthcare, EMAlliance, Victoria Emergency, Shriners Children's, Mindray, CGMC, Rovex), and donations to the EMPACT advocacy fund. Sponsorship revenue is the most visible commercial activity, tied to the CONNECT conference and newsletter advertising opportunities. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and operates from an Austin, TX mailing address, with councillor and board meetings held at ACEP's Irving, TX headquarters.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Illinois College of Emergency Physicians: ACEP Illinois chapter with comparable scope of EM physician advocacy, annual conference, and student engagement. Useful mid-size peer benchmark for TCEP.
• New York ACEP: New York state chapter of ACEP. Comparable in size, multi-stakeholder sponsor base, and conference/advocacy structure, with similar state-level legislative priorities.
• Emergency Medicine Residents' Association (EMRA): Trainee-focused EM association that complements TCEP's Residents and Medical Student Committee segments. Overlap in audience, educational programming, and conferences.
• Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM): National EM society focused on academic and research emergency medicine. Comparable in education/events and overlapping with TCEP's academic-center physician members, though with a different membership emphasis.
• California ACEP: Another large ACEP state chapter representing emergency physicians in California. Highly comparable in structure, GTM (events, advocacy, MSC), sponsorship model, and chapter-charter relationship with national ACEP.
• Florida College of Emergency Physicians: Florida ACEP chapter operating with nearly identical chapter activities: annual conference, medical student engagement, state-level advocacy, and EMphasis-style member communications.
• American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM): National EM specialty society that competes with ACEP for emergency physician members. Comparable mission (advocacy, education, conferences) and overlaps with TCEP's audience, though not a state chapter.

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association (AMA): National umbrella medical association for all physicians. AMA is broader than TCEP but offers the analogous membership/advocacy/newsletter/event model and is a comparator for dues-funded, nonprofit professional-association economics.
• Texas Medical Association (TMA): Statewide multi-specialty medical association of which TCEP is a specialty counterpart. TCEP already partners with TMA on advocacy and events; comparable in governance, lobbying, and Texas-based member services.
• American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP): National parent society of which TCEP is a Texas state chapter. Operates the membership portal, sets national advocacy and education strategy, and runs the broader ACEP brand that TCEP benefits from.
