William H. Spivey, MD, FACEP, Competition

In 1993, the PaACEP Board of Directors named the PaACEP Scientific Assembly Poster/Paper competition in memory of William H. Spivey, MD, FACEP, to recognize his outstanding contributions as a teacher, researcher, and clinician. He died on February 20, 1993.

Dr. Spivey was internationally known for his research in emergency medicine. He was also a gifted educator who enjoyed teaching residents and medical students and never refused to share his research expertise.

At his death, Dr. Spivey was fellowship director at the Medical College of Pennsylvania and chief of the emergency department’s division of research. He also served as assistant director of clinical research with Sterling-Winthrop Pharmaceuticals in Collegeville, Montgomery County.

The William H. Spivey MD, FACEP, Research Competition is held during the Annual Scientific Assembly each spring.

Emergency physicians, residents, fellows and medical students are encouraged to submit abstracts that address issues pertinent to emergency medicine. Original research and case series will be accepted.
