About Us
Our Mission
Emergency Practice Associates is committed to high quality, efficient and cost-effective practice management services with an emphasis on the specialty of emergency medicine.
The emergency department is often a patient's first experience with a hospital. A hospital's reputation depends on that positive first impression. According to research, physicians and staff make the greatest impact on patient perception.
Emergency Practice Associates recognizes and understands that. Since 1974, the practice management firm has provided first-class emergency care in a cost-effective manner.
Years of practical experience working with and managing emergency departments is what sets Emergency Practice Associates apart from other emergency practice management firms.
Emergency Practice Associates offers a comprehensive program of physician services, practice opportunities and practice management services for hospitals. The Emergency Practice Associates staff rapidly responds to changing developments in Emergency Medicine.
Years of practical experience. A proven track record with physicians and hospitals. Dedicated and knowledgeable staff. Reasons to consider Emergency Practice Associates, where a promise made is a promise delivered.
I really enjoy Emergency Medicine and working with EPA makes it even more enjoyable. Schedules are made with utmost concern for the doctors requests. Coding is done for us, good compensation is provided to us, and the EPA staff is very cordial and helpful in dealing with any problems that might occur. This allows me to worry about patient care and not office problems. It is definitely a win- win combination.

When I was in my family practice residency, moonlighting gave me valuable experience. It helped me gain confidence in my clinical skills, and it helped me learn how to manage patient flow in a busy emergency department. (The extra income was also nice.)
I enjoyed family practice but due to a family situation and time demands I made the switch to full time emergency practice almost six years ago. I gained more control over my time while still retaining the kind of practice I enjoy. Working in small communities has the feel of family practice because I work with the same colleagues and I often know the patients I see in the emergency department.
Moonlighting is great for experience and it is an opportunity to consider full time emergency practice as a career option for you.

This is to let you know how pleased I am with EPA after my first year of full employment. Most of my encounters have been with you and Dr. Kuhlmann and I couldn't be more pleased with the cooperation I have received. You have accommodated my requests for time off and I haven't ran into any scheduling problems. I am very pleased with my decision to change from Family Practice to Emergency Medicine. At this point in my career, I am pleased not to do daily rounds and receive calls at all hours. With the current volume of patients at this ED, I am allowed to do 24 hr. shifts so I have several free days every month even working 240 hrs. I truly feel I am semi-retired working full-time.

I have really enjoyed working with EPA. I have had experiences with several different ER staffing companies and EPA has by far been the best at meeting my needs. They have a wide variety of opportunities from low to high volume ERs. As a resident in training it has helped me to develop my acute care skills and has given me increased opportunities to perform invasive procedures and manage critically ill patients. The pay is very reasonable and exceeds their competitors. One of the things that I appreciate the most is that I don’t feel pressured all the time to pick up extra shifts that would take me away from my family. I look forward to continuing to work with EPA in the future as I complete residency and go on into private practice.
