Throughout the 1970s, emergency physicians and the fledgling ACEP supported regional EMS programs. By 1983, emergency physicians and the embryonic state chapters of ACEP were primarily focused on developing their new specialty and care in emergency departments. During this period, medical directors for EMS systems around the country increasingly began to publish articles in scientific journals on prehospital research and on their experiences with prehospital care. Gradually, they began to meet and, in the process, found many areas of common interest. After a series of organizational meetings that began in Hilton Head, South Carolina, in 1984, the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) was created in 1985, with Dr Ron Stewart as its first president. By the late 1980s, emergency physician specialty groups such as ACEP and the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine also placed more emphasis on EMS and began to encourage EMS‐related activities among their members.
