"IEPC is truly the Best of Both Worlds! The dedication and strong commitment and loyalty of a small independent group of Emergency Physicians who are an integral part of the local community ALONG WITH the Strength of a large multi site Physician group when it comes to data analysis, best practices, bench marking and policy collaboration. This is the most intelligent practice solution for both physicians and hospitals in todays medical environment."

"As the practice of medicine continues to get more and more complex, it's important to have trusted colleagues with whom to share information, ideas and solutions. This is why EEMG is happy to be part of the IEPC. We are committed to the independent practice of emergency care but understand that staying current and fresh in this complicated world can be challenging. Our involvement in the IEPC helps keep us in sync with Emergency Medicine regulations and guidelines while also providing a network of other independent physicians we can rely on."

"For me IEPC is all about the people. EM is a tight knit community that serves patients on the front line of California's healthcare system. In this era of rapid and sometimes irrational change, it is great to have so many bright and articulate fellow independent EM physicians collaborating, exchanging ideas, and methodologies, and looking out for what is best for both patients and EM physicians. There is strength in our commitment and resolve to continue to work together to improve our Emergency departments, hospitals, and the patient care experience."

"IEPC members are the minute men of emergency medicine. They are tireless advocates for the little guy in the West Coast. With the push for large contracting, we felt the need to contribute to the small independent groups and have benefited from the experience of others."
