	AMA (Ethics) American College of Emergency Physicians
		Emergency physicians should understand established criteria for the determination of death and should be prepared to assist families in decisions regarding the donation of a patient's organs for transplantation.
		The American College of Emergency Physicians has suggested that to act as an expert witness, at a minimum, a physician should be board certified or board prepared in emergency medicine and be in the active practice of emergency medicine for three years prior to the date of the incident.
		Emergency medical practice impacts the use of expensive technology and the distribution of health care resources; therefore, emergency physicians must attempt to reconcile the goals of equitable access to health care and just allocation of health care with the increasing scarcity of resources and the need for cost containment.
