Emergency medicine doctors, like all medical practitioners, must abide by their authority to practice. The authority to practice (ATP) is the level to which a medical practitioner can practice.

By way of explanation, emergency medicine doctors cannot perform any procedures that are outside their scope of practice. Performing procedures above your ATP without prior consultation with a senior surgeon or doctor can result in serious consequences for both the patient and the doctor.
