Abstract
The creation of the American Academy of Emergency Nurse Practitioners (AAENP) marked a significant milestone in the professionalization of emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs). This interview with Dr. Elda Ramirez, the founder of AAENP, explores the critical moments and challenges that led to the establishment of the organization. Driven by the need for a dedicated body to advocate for the unique role of ENPs, AAENP was founded to address gaps in regulatory recognition and professional standards within the broader nursing profession. The manuscript delves into the origins of AAENP, highlighting the pivotal roles of co-founders Drs. Arlo Weltge and Kyle Kincaid, and discusses the organization's early achievements, including the development of a specialized certification exam. AAENP's journey underscores the importance of professional societies in advancing specialty practices and advocating for the interests of their members.
