This session will discuss the current social media environment as well as the possible risks to professionalism that can occur. The session will address how to educate your department on the pitfalls of social media using examples from medical education and legal cases. The talk will conclude with examples of how to develop an individualized social media policy. Objectives: вЂў Describe how social media has impacted professionalism вЂў Discuss social media utilization effectively with residents and faculty вЂў Develop social media policies to protect your department and institution. ED Transitions of Care - What Constitutes a Good Handoff Between ED Residents: 11:30 am - 12:00 pm Gene Hern MD Handoffs present a risk for communication error and may adversely affect appropriate patient care. Although standardization is widely believed to be the means to improve handoff efficacy, consensus on the procedural and logistical components of an effective handoff has not yet been reached. This workshop will use several simulated resident-to-resident handoff videos, followed by small group discussions of the data points required for a safe, effective handoff. This session serves as an opportunity to reflect on the needed communication skills of residents delivering handoff information to peers in the time-pressured, easily distractible environment of a busy ED. Tools to provide resident feedback and education in the context of Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals and ACGME expectations will be reviewed, as will the assessment of resident competency with the handoff process. Strategies for clear documentation of the time for transition of care will also be explored. Objectives: вЂў Describe best practices for what constitutes a good handoff. вЂў Define best practices for safe, complete resident handoffs. вЂў Describe best practices for effective feedback to residents after handoffs have occurred.

Although the U.S. population continues to become more diverse, ethnic and racial health care disparities persist. The benefits of a diverse medical workforce have been well described, but the percentage of emergency medicine residents from underrepresented groups is small and has not significantly increased. ADIEM has partnered in a more powerful way with SAEM, working towards the realization of our common goals of diversifying the physician workforce at all levels, eliminating disparities in health care and outcomes, and insuring that all emergency physicians are delivering culturally competent care. Academy for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Medicine Dear friends, In ADIEMвЂ™s inaugural year, we are delighted to highlight our events for the SAEM Annual Meeting. It is particularly meaningful for me as president of ADIEM and faculty at Emory to welcome you to my home city of Atlanta. We are particularly pleased with ADIEMвЂ™s didactics, including one that takes a historical look at diversity and inclusion in emergency medicine in SAEM, and our groundbreaking didactic on LGBT health. Our business meeting lends itself to networking and sharing of ideas to expand our mission of addressing cultural awareness for all people. We had several submissions from across the nation, and we look forward to learning more and engaging in these very important topics. The poster presentations include вЂњBarriers to the Emergency Department Utilization of Interpreter ServicesвЂќ and вЂњCultural Competencies in Emergency Medicine: Caring for Muslim-American Patients from the Middle East.вЂќ Each year, we also honor and celebrate SAEM members in several award categories. This yearвЂ™s winners are: ADIEM Events at SAEM Business meeting (May 15 1:00 - 5:00 pm - Vinings Rm I [6th floor]) Inaugural Didactic Presentations (May 16 8:00 - 10:00 am International Rm B [6th floor]) вЂњLGBT Health: Educating EM Physicians to Provide Equitable and Quality CareвЂќ вЂњDisparities and Diversity in Emergency Medicine: SAEM - Where are we now?вЂќ Marcus L.

Leaders of ACEP and AAEM will be present at this event, scheduled to be held July 27-31 in Toronto, Canada. All are invited to participate in a national discussion on health disparities with this yearвЂ™s focus on the obesity epidemic and how emergency providers can be part of the solution.

Maximize your time at the SAEM 2013 Annual Meeting: A guide for residents and medical students Winter has dragged on and on for many of us across the country. From the record snowfalls in the Northeast to the frigid temperatures in the Midwest, spring seems a little far off, even for those of us out West with ski slopes to enjoy the long winter! After all these cold months, SAEM couldnвЂ™t have picked a better place for our 2013 Annual Meeting than the Peach State, and вЂ�Hot-lantaвЂ™, as the locals affectionately call their capital city. The nickname might stem from the warm weather of the South or the exciting nightlife of Atlanta, but either way we have a lot to look forward to, and we havenвЂ™t even talked about the conference yet! Now, letвЂ™s focus on a few of the many stand-out conference sessions available to you at the 2013 meeting. Day 1, May 15, offers some excellent sessions from a professional and educational standpoint. Come be inspired by some former residents (also known as junior faculty) selected from a nationwide search for individuals who brought innovation and leadership to their respective programs as residents (вЂњHow to Become a Trailblazer: Perspectives from Resident InnovatorsвЂќ 3:00 pm.) If you are already thinking about what to do after residency, check out some of the fellowship-focused sessions вЂ“ from critical care (вЂњThe Current State of Critical Care TrainingвЂќ 10:00 am) to EMS (вЂњAdvances in EMS EducationвЂќ 11:00 am) to wilderness medicine (вЂњThriving in the WildernessвЂќ 1:00 pm), there is something for every interest. HereвЂ™s hoping your after-hours activities on Day 1 didnвЂ™t run too late, as the session вЂњChoosing a High-Impact Quality Improvement Project as a Resident or Student AND Getting it PublishedвЂќ at 8:00 am promises to provide maximum impact. All residents are required to engage in quality improvement and scholarly works, so why not learn to tackle both tasks simultaneously? Later in Day 2, вЂњChallenging the PhysicianPatient Relationship: Negotiating Deception, Manipulation and Medical MistakesвЂќ will deal with some controversial and hard-hitting topics we will all face during our careers. And of course, donвЂ™t miss the keynote speaker, Dr. Thomas Frieden, the director of the CDC, which can also be found right here in Atlanta. In the second half of the conference, we have some additional sessions that we think would be worthwhile for residents to attend. LetвЂ™s start with the sessions on Friday, May 17. Though we all like to sleep in to some degree, вЂњDiagnostic Imaging and Radiation Exposure: How Much is too Much?вЂќ promises to be worth waking up to attend at 8:00 am! At some point, a patient has asked you about the radiation exposure of all the studies you order, and this talk will address some of these concerns. Additionally, the 10:30 am didactic on вЂњPolicy Change 101: A How-To Primer for the Emergency PhysicianвЂќ should be of value to residents and students. In this day and age of graduate medical education cuts, trimming of costs from hospitals, and yet even more patients, it is important to be involved in the health policy debate. On the last day of the conference, there are a number of outstanding sessions. During residency (and beyond,) we will have to give a lecture or presentation on a topic. At 8:00 am, вЂњPresentation Design: An Evidence-Based ApproachвЂќ should help you with this important skill. And finally, we are all hearing more and more about Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, blogs, podcasts, and all other types of social media within EM. Wondering what in the world is a hashtag? Or, do you keep hearing about FOAM (Free Open Access Meducation) and want to know what the big craze is about? One of the final sessions of the conference at 11:00 am is about incorporating social media into education. See how this new phenomenon is changing the way we learn and debate information. Also, be sure to check out SonoGames; either bring your own ultrasound team or be a spectator at the fight for sonographic supremacy! The SAEM Annual Meeting is the premiere event for the latest and greatest research within EM. No matter what sessions you choose to attend, you are bound to learn something that will help you in your practice. The more meetings you attend, the better you will be able to critically evaluate posters and didactics. Use this information that you gain to decide how to shape the way you practice EM. One of the authors of this article (BR) has been to 5 annual meetings already and feels strongly that the knowledge you will learn WILL shape your practice and put you on the cutting edge of EM. Another great reason to come to the meeting is for networking with your colleagues from across the country (and the world!) Virtually all of the interest groups hold meetings here, and you get to join one free with your membership! Additionally, all of the academies have their own meetings. For residents and students, the Residency & Fellowship Fair is a great place to network with program directors and other faculty/residents/fellows from individual programs. This is the best time to ask your questions and get a feel for the program before deciding to apply. The list of programs at the fair is published in advance - make sure you circle the ones you want to go to and have questions ready for them. You will be surprised by how friendly everyone is and how quickly you can catch someoneвЂ™s eye or make a connection! In conclusion, the Annual Meeting is the face of the Society and all that it does over the course of the year. The Society is the only emergency medicine organization that represents all residents in every program throughout the country as THE academic society in emergency medicine. It is worth attending as a student or resident at a minimum once. In addition to all of the great academic material you will learn, you will have a great time! Between the social events, experiencing Atlanta, and gaining knowledge, it will be a great conference and we look forward to seeing many of you here. And, of course, to those unable to attend because they are staffing our emergency departments, we thank you too!

DS001 вЂ“ Peachtree A & B Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 8:00 - 8:50 am Historically, EEG has been used in the emergency department setting on a limited basis when prompted by neurological consultants. Dr. Brenner has been a proponent of the use of EEG with reduced lead to diagnose nonconvulsive status epilepticus. Dr. Michelson has pursued the use of EEG in the recognition of stroke. He will also review the recent literature and current trials on quantitative EEG in assessment of traumatic brain injury. Together, they are studying the use of reduced lead EEG in a multicenter trial. They will each review the indications and limitations of reduced lead EEG in the emergency department setting. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to recognize the indications for reduced lead EEG use in the ED and be aware of the limitations of its interpretations. Jay Brenner MD вЂ“ submitter, presenter SUNY-Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY Ed Michelson MD - presenter Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH How to Effectively Supervise and Teach Residents: Entrustment and Autonomy DS002 вЂ“ Peachtree C Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 8:00 - 8:50 am Development of Clinical Decision Instruments in Emergency Medicine The purpose of residency is to train residents to manage patients independently while the role of the attending faculty varies in supervision and allowing autonomy. This concept has been termed entrustment (ten Cate, 2006). This is the key to Entrustable Professional Activities which further delineate the new EM Milestones. As residents progress along the milestones, the role of the supervising physician is to facilitate incremental increase in responsibilities of patient care to residents with concurrent reduction in clinical oversight. Entrustment varies based on attending factors (experience, confidence), resident factors (level of training, characteristics), patient factors (severity of illness, complexity) and environment (volume, service expectations). In this session, we will discuss how leveraging entrustment can create an effective learning environment. We will explore resident perceptions of autonomy, the learning environment, and strategies for faculty to enhance resident learning within this framework. The workshop will be highly interactive, requiring participants to use and understand resident supervision and autonomy, review their own current practice, and then apply new techniques to their clinical teaching. This session will start with short didactic presentation and large group discussion to understand entrustment and autonomy. We will then incorporate facilitated small group discussions to further understand the concepts and develop ways to improve each participantвЂ™s ability to engage with a resident at an appropriate level of supervision and autonomy. Small group facilitators: Nadia Juneja, Robin Hemphill, Felix Ankel, and Sheryl Heron. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the factors affecting autonomy, 2. Demonstrate the ability to navigate the barriers to entrustment, 3. A ppropriately facilitate resident autonomy and grant-trainee-suitable entrustment of patient care to enhance resident education while maintaining appropriate supervision.

Many departments may have initially turned to non-physician providers as a way to increase staffing and provide direct patient care. Some departments have integrated the non-physician providers fully into their academic structure and mission. These providers are now responsible for resident and student education, research and professional development in addition to their duties of patient care. Just like physicians, they must balance the demands on their time and chart a course for career advancement. We will examine the evolution of opportunities for non-physician providers in the emergency department and illustrate how non-physician providers can become an integral part of an academic emergency medicine department. There will also be a discussion for non-physician providers on where to turn for resources for career development. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. D efine current and future roles for non-physician providers in academic emergency medicine. 2. D iscuss the challenges and rewards of integration of non-physician providers in emergency departments. 3. Review resources for education and integration of non-physician providers.

For the most part clinical critical care has been taught by inpatient intensivists on inpatient ICUвЂ™s with the expectations the methods and techniques would be naturally transitioned to the ED. Due to many factors including increasing numbers of Emergency Intensivists on residency faculties providing bedside teaching of critical care techniques has expanded. While inpatient ICU experiences are still Society for Academic Emergency Medicine *Disclaimer: Didactics are placed in the program how they were submitted to SAEM. of value in resident education programs are now creating ED-based critical care rotations. This session will provide results of a survey of programs on the current use of both inpatient and ED-based critical care education. Panelists will present 2 current ED-based critical care rotation designs describing the educational methods and resident responses to the courses. After the panelistвЂ™s presentation there will be time for questions from the audience about the survey results and the courses described as well as the potential evolution for this type of experience in other programs. Objectives: At the completion of this session participants should be able to: 1. Describe the current critical care education methods reported in the survey of residency programs. 2. D escribe the emerging use of ED-based clinical critical care rotations and experiences in resident education. 3.

DS006 вЂ“ Peachtree C Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 9:00 - 10:20 am This session will challenge participants to branch out of their comfort zone by demonstrating and encouraging the use of modern instruction. Learners only retain 10-30% of what they hear in standard lectures often because little attention is paid to learning theories and principles of instructional design that promote improved attention and knowledge retention. During the session, participants will participate in several methods of interactive teaching that demonstrate dynamic opportunities for the teacher to engage the learner. These will include the flipped classroom methods, slide presentation principles framed within Richard MayerвЂ™s cognitive theory of multimedia learning, embedding active learning in the lecture format, and innovative lecture techniques. At the completion of the session, participants will be able to incorporate new teaching methods into their practice. Due to the interactive nature of this workshop there will be 4 facilitators: Robin Hemphill, Ben Bassin, Mary Jo Wagner and Philip Shayne. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Recognize examples of less effective instruction 2. Demonstrate a basic understanding of modern learning theories and their role in instructional design 3. E mploy new teaching tools effective for their environment. Margaret Wolff MD - submitter, presenter University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Mary Jo Wagner MD вЂ“ presenter Central Michigan University, Saginaw, MI Sally Santen MD, PhD - presenter University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Stacey Poznanski MD - presenter Wright State University, Dayton, OH Impact of the 2010 AHA Post-Cardiac Arrest Care Guidelines: Assessing Knowledge Translation & Implementation DS007 вЂ“ Peachtree D Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 9:00 - 9:50 am In 2010 AHA and ILCOR published guidelines that advocated implementation of comprehensive post-cardiac arrest care, including therapeutic hypothermia, to improve outcomes after cardiac arrest. Resuscitation research has surged in the last decade explicitly because the results of two randomized controlled trials showed that the application of mild therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest positively influenced neurologic outcomes. Now over two years since the 2010 Guidelines, the impact on systems of care remains largely unknown and highly variable. Numerous factors play roles in the acceptance and adherence to published guidelines, including 1) individual knowledge of such recommendations and 2) institutional expertise, experience (patient volume), and resources. In the US, there are several different models of post-arrest care, from the multidisciplinary, on-call team approach to a protocol-driven order set initiated upon admission to the intensive care unit. Emergency Medicine physicians are uniquely positioned as experts in emergency care to resuscitate patients suffering both in- and out of hospital cardiac arrest. As such, knowledge of current guidelines and appreciation for potential limitations to their implementation may improve our ability to initiate comprehensive post-arrest care and advocate in the best interest for our patients. Evidence-based recommendations for postarrest care will be reviewed though specific management techniques will not be discussed. The conversation will incorporate a discussion of future research directions within cardiac resuscitation as pertaining to the guidelines. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the concept of comprehensive post-cardiac arrest care and the general evidence-based goals as laid out in the 2010 Guidelines 2. I dentify the variations in implementation of the 2010 Guidelines in the US 3. D escribe limitations to knowledge translation and developing systems of care for cardiac arrest 4.

This knowledge will allow investigators to plan a sound research study, develop testable hypotheses, choose appropriate analytical methods, and determine the feasibility of performing a study in a given population and setting. In this session, Dr. Lewis will discuss introductory statistical topics such as types of data, common statistical tests, p values, confidence intervals, and sample size and power calculations. An overview of subgroup analysis, interim data analysis, and intention to treat will also be provided. Through discussion of these concepts at this session, attendees will increase their understanding of statistical concepts and will be able to apply this knowledge to their research and practice. Objectives: 1. Describe types of data, common statistical tests, p values, and confidence intervals 2. Apply sample size and power calculations 3.Distinguish subgroup analysis, interim data analysis, and intention-to-treat concepts Roger Lewis. Harbor MD, PhD вЂ“ submitter, presenter UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, CA The Current State of Critical Care Fellowship Training for Emergency Medicine Residency Graduates DS009 вЂ“ Peachtree A & B Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 10 - 10:50 am Decades of effort to open Critical Care Training and certification to Emergency Physicians are culminating in rapid expansion of Fellowships and Certification Pathways. Currently ABEM and ABIM have defined a pathway to certification for Emergency Physicians who have completed a 2 year IM based program. Anesthesiology and Surgery are currently exploring and developing pathways for Emergency Physicians to complete Critical Care fellowships in their programs. This session will provide an update on these developments and provide insight to the curriculums of the various programs. A survey of current CCM programs accepting emergency physicians and current state of ABEM certification agreements will be presented by the moderator. Panelists consisting of Program Directors from Medicine, Anesthesiology and Surgery Fellowships that accept EPвЂ™s will make brief presentations on their current or planned curriculum, pathways to certification for their graduates and potential employment opportunities as emergency intensivists in their institutions or departments. After the panel presentations there will be a period of questions and answers from the audience to the panel. Objectives: 1. Summarize the results of a recent survey of critical care fellowship directors regarding emergency physician applicants May 14-18, 2013 | Atlanta, Georgia 35 2.

Neither university-based departments of emergency medicine nor community hospitals serving as secondary training sites, independent academic hospitals are home to nearly one-third of accredited allopathic emergency medicine residency programs. This session will explore the unique challenges and opportunities that exist in training emergency medicine residents in the independent academic hospital setting. Dr. Katz will provide an overview of the common practice setting differences between universitybased and independent academic hospitals and their implications for residents and faculty in the independent academic environment. Dr. Garmel will describe the challenges and opportunities faced by faculty educating residents while working at an independent academic hospital, with specific focus on didactic and bedside teaching in this environment. Dr. Davenport will elucidate the challenges and opportunities for emergency medicine residents who train at independent academic hospitals, with specific focus on the clinical environment, the diversity of teaching faculty, and approaches for residents to maximize their academic preparation in this setting. Dr. Venkat will discuss the challenges and opportunities for resident scholarly activity in the independent academic environment, with specific focus on garnering resources for research and approaches to increasing scholarly productivity by residents in this setting as preparation for an academic career. The session will conclude with a question-answer session to further discuss the challenges and opportunities of residency education in this setting. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the challenges to training emergency medicine residents at independent academic medical centers, specifically within the categories of clinical practice, didactics, and scholarly activity. 2.

A parallel development of milestones for systems can be created for academic programs when leaders manage the domains of autonomy, coping with complexity, and perceiving context. The workshop will be highly interactive, requiring participants to reflect on their programs and design elements of improvement in their academic program in a strategic fashion. This session will start with a short didactic presentation followed by a large group discussion. During the session participants will have the opportunity to reflect on the DreyfusвЂ™ Model, work in small groups to develop a strategy that fits within the context of their institutionвЂ™s culture, and 36 develop a blueprint for moving academic programs towards the expert level. To allow for effective small group facilitated discussion, additional small group facilitators include: Stephanie Taft MD (Regions Hospital), Sheryl Heron MD (Emory University), Laura Hopson MD (University of Michigan) and Sam Hauff MD (University of Michigan). Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the Dreyfus Model of novice, beginner, competent, proficient, and expert through the domains of autonomy, context, and complexity 2.

DS012 вЂ“ Peachtree E Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 10:30 - 11:50 am Whether the project is basic science or clinical research, the team approach to research is not only necessary but a competitive advantage. In these teams, each member contributes specific resources or areas of expertise to accomplish the goals of the project. Because EM is not disease specific, integrating EM investigators into a research team can be less intuitive than with other specialties. In the first part of this panel discussion, EM investigators who have been successful PIs of large multi-disciplinary proposals will share tactics and pitfalls associated with the EM investigator as team science PI. Topics covered will include methods for leading a team, seeking out researchers and study personnel from various disciplines, congealing the team, honing the approach, and keeping team members accountable for deliverables. During the second part of this panel discussion, experienced EM investigators will share examples of collaborations in which their involvement as Co-I was successful and those that were not. These examples will serve to outline a framework in which EM investigators generally contribute: a) access to patients; b) research infrastructure for enrollment of ED patients; and/or, c) intellectual expertise. Discussions will focus on negotiations of items such as academic credit, expected deliverables, consumption of research resources, and financial compensation. These experts will also provide examples of EM investigators who have developed an area of intellectual expertise that successfully integrates into research teams. In the conclusion of this presentation, the panel will present a list of general principals to guide EM investigators as they develop and contribute to research teams. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe approaches for EM investigators to be successful research team leaders 2. Conceptualize successful and unsuccessful arrangements when joining a research team as a co-investigator. 3. Describe, with examples of successful teams involving EM investigators: a. Implementation of a clinical trials unit, b. Development of a multicenter federally sponsored clinical trial, c. Definition of an area of intellectual expertise as an EM investigator.

Emergency Medicine residents have varied exposure to pre-hospital care and EMS systems depending on their training location and departmental priorities/resources. The SAEM EMS Interest Group and its EMS Curriculum Development Task Force have sought to continue to develop the new sub-specialty, cultivate the fertile ground Society for Academic Emergency Medicine for research, spark an interest in residents and students to pursue careers in EMS, and improve patient care in all phases of healthcare that interact with EMS by refining and further developing standard EMS curricula for EM residents and students. This session will begin with overview of, and commentary on, the Interest GroupвЂ™s recommendations with a focus on resident education. The remainder of the session will be devoted to a discussion of how to implement and achieve these important educational objectives. Audience participation will be encouraged to create a vibrant discussion. Ideas raised in this session will be incorporated into the task forceвЂ™s final report. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to 1. Describe the current model of EMS education for residents; 2. Describe EMS educational objectives for residents, as well as methods to achieve these objectives. Michael Hilton MD - submitter University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA David Cone MD - presenter Yale University, New Haven, CT Jonathan Fisher MD, MPH - presenter Harvard University, Boston, MA Christian Martin-Gill MD, MPH - presenter University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA The Nonquantitative Aspect of Resident Training in the Community ED DS014 вЂ“ Peachtree D Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 11:00 - 11:50 am We all remember what it was like to be a resident: the long days and the hard nights, the feeling that maybe, perhaps, you missed something, the joy over successfully intubating. Faculty in turn takes great pride in enriching the experience. However, education is simply one piece of the resident-faculty interaction. Supervising residents on a clinical shift can have other intended and unintended consequences besides the creation of a positive learning environment. This session will explore the additional responsibilities community based academic emergency physicians encounter when residents are added into their departments. In particular topics to be presented will include 1) The financial costs of residents (Most affiliates now pay their salary) with a focus on the cost benefit of having a resident vs. midlevel provider as caregiver 2) the time demands for bedside teaching and how that influences physician coverage of other patients 3) the impact of residents on patient flow, patient satisfaction, and HCAHPs 4) the relationships between resident and medical staff, and resident and ancillary staff. Objectives: At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Identify both the positive and the negative aspects of having residents in community teaching EDs. 2. Define the options available to resolve any adverse consequences, while at the same time enhancing the good aspects of a residency program. 3. Describe how to establish programs and effectively communicate between residency directors and ED community faculty.

Wilderness Medicine Fellows are trained through clinical and scholarly work at the nationвЂ™s major medical centers and in the planetвЂ™s most austere and remote environments. Following graduation, fellows contribute to the advancement of EM in a range of capacities: from starting new fellowships at leading academic medical centers, to teaching & providing clinical care on the slopes of Denali, the shores of post-tsunami Japan, and underserved areas of Africa. Fellowships produce scholars with active research careers funded by the NIH and other governmental sources. This panel discussion will provide emergency medicine residents with actionable data on how to assess advanced training options in wilderness medicine. We will describe how to create a vibrant research, clinical care, and teaching career as academic wilderness medicine specialist. We will provide a practical, pragmatic introduction to critical fellowship topics including: realistic goals for field experience, how to get started in wilderness medicine research, assessing research productivity and fit with applicantвЂ™s interests, key features of WM curriculum, and sources of WM expertise. Additional topics will include how to investigate potential WM field clinical care experiences, how to arrange synergistic interactions with other fellowships, and to highlight the benefits to EM residents and EM faculty provided by a vigorous WM Fellowship. Finally, we will discuss the creation and content of the unified national WM Fellowship Curriculum in the service of establishing ACGME/ABMS certification for wilderness medicine fellowships. Objectives: At the completion of this Panel, participants should be familiar with methods for assessing the quality and personal fit of advanced wilderness medicine training opportunities. They should be able to define the role of training in research, teaching, and clinical care expertise in advanced wilderness medicine practice. Additionally, this should provide directly applicable training on how academic EPs can establish a successful wilderness medicine fellowship. N. Stuart Harris MD, MFA Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA Tracy Cushing MD, MPH University of Colorado, Aurora, CO Taking Advantage of the Teachable Moment: A Workshop for Efficient, Learner-Centered Clinical Teaching DS016 вЂ“ Peachtree C Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 1:00 - 2:20 pm When working in a chaotic emergency department with competing priorities, clinical teaching may be sacrificed for the sake of patient flow and throughput. An organized, efficient approach to clinical teaching based upon constructivist educational theory helps focus the teaching on what the learner needs at that moment, incorporates regular feedback, keeps the department on track, and prevents over-teaching. In this interactive workshop, participants will discuss characteristics of ideal clinical teachers, the theoretical underpinnings of learner-centered education, and common barriers to effective clinical teaching. Learner-centered teaching models, such as the one-minute preceptor, SNAPPS, and L-CARE, will be compared. Videos illustrating examples of effective and ineffective teaching encounters will serve as a springboard for small group, case-based practice using the teaching models. At the end of this workshop, participants will be prepared to seize the teachable moment and provide timely and learner-centered clinical educational encounters. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Discuss characteristics of ideal clinical teachers 2. Recognize constructivist educational theory applied to learner-centered education 3. Discuss barriers to effective clinical teaching 4. Incorporate learner-centered teaching techniques into their clinical practice Todd Guth MD - submitter University of Colorado, School of Medicine, Aurora, CO Elise Lovell MD - presenter Advocate Christ Medical Center, Oak Lawn, IL Sneha Shah MD - presenter University of Massachusetts, Worcester, MA Mike Epter DO - presenter University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV Investigator-Initiated Research Without an Existing Research Infrastructure: How to Succeed in Any Practice Setting DS017 вЂ“ Peachtree D Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 1:00 - 1:50 pm The focus of Emergency Medicine research has changed dramatically in the last 30 years. EM research has developed from a friendly homespun, investigator-initiated endeavor into a highly complicated competitive undertaking on a multimillion dollar national level. The NIH investment in emergency care research asks emergency physicians to identify research areas that aim at improving efficiency and resource utilization in our increasingly overburdened emergency care system. Physicians from every practice in Emergency Medicine play a critical role in this mission. But how can community based physicians and even those in academic centers without existing emergency medicine infrastructure accomplish this in our rapidly changing research landscape? Community-based academic medical centers, midway between university-based departments of emergency medicine and community hospitals without academic affiliation, frequently lack the May 14-18, 2013 | Atlanta, Georgia 37 research infrastructure of a university based institution. Even many university based programs lack sufficient infrastructure necessary to undertake seemingly basic research questions. The lack of institutional support as well as barriers to performing research can confound and overwhelm an unseasoned researcher. The speakers will address steps to facilitate study design, maximize data collection, and achieve support for research. Objectives: The objective of this didactic is to help faculty and residents learn the challenges and obstacles that face researchers in these settings, and various methods for dealing with them. At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Identify sources to assist in the development of research proposals. 2. Identify the challenges in and find solutions for data collection and research assistants. 3. Identify avenues for obtaining institutional and outside resources to conduct this research.

Our use of the term adaptive refers to trials which make use of accumulating information from enrolled subjects to make changes in the conduct of the ongoing trial. Importantly, all of these changes are prospectively planned using extensive numerical simulation and sensitivity analyses. These designs can help the trial investigators concurrently accomplish important scientific and medical goals. In this session we will identify situations where specific types of adaptive clinical trial designs could be useful. In addition, we will situations in which adaptive designs may not be as useful or may even be less efficient. Adaptive trials offer potential benefits in improving trial efficiency (smaller trials which are more likely to be successful) that must be balanced against the additional complexities (extensive up-front simulation work and the need to rapidly incorporate accumulating data from participants within the on-going trial). We will provide an overview of the key characteristics of high-quality adaptive clinical trial designs, with a specific example of a comparative effectiveness trial designed to determine which treatment or treatments to use for established status epilepticus. In the workshop, we will present a real example of a simulated trial (using statistical software package R вЂ“ participants are encouraged to bring laptops with R loaded), and demonstrate potential strengths of using simulation in research planning. Finally, the panel discussion will focus on lessons learned from the trial design process and the attendee will learn about potential methods to enhance the efficiency of trial design. Objectives: The learner should be able to: 1. Describe the taxonomy of adaptive clinical trial designs and areas where such designs may be useful. 2. Describe the advantages of using numerical simulation in clinical trial design and encourage attendees to consider using these methods when designing clinical research 3. Anticipate potential process issues within trial or research design and use best practices identified through ADAPT-IT to maximize the efficiency of the process.

Emergency physicians offer a unique 38 skill set and are well-positioned for success in sports medicine. With the proper training, experience, or special interest, there are a variety of opportunities in sports medicine available to the emergency physician. This session will discuss the role of the emergency physician in sports medicine, the current state of sports medicine fellowship training, and career paths and other opportunities for residents and practicing emergency physicians with or without fellowship training. Each speaker practices academic emergency medicine, clinical sports medicine, and team medicine in settings encompassing high school, college, and professional sports. Jeffrey Feden MD, will provide an overview of the subspecialty, options for fellowship training, and typical career paths (10 minutes). Daniel Garza MD, a team physician at Stanford University and Medical Director for the NFLвЂ™s San Francisco 49ers, will highlight the role of the emergency physician in team medicine (10 minutes). Moira Davenport MD, Associate EM Residency Director and sports medicine fellowship faculty member at Allegheny General Hospital will offer her perspective on balancing a career in academic emergency and sports medicine (10 minutes). The program will conclude with a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Feden, during which all three speakers will share their recommendations for pursuing sports medicine within the academic setting (15 minutes). A brief question and answer session will follow (5 minutes). Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Identify the fundamental practice of primary care sports medicine and routes of entry into the subspecialty; 2. Define the role and unique qualifications of the emergency physician in sports medicine; 3. Recognize the spectrum of career paths available to the fellowship-trained emergency physician; 4. Identify areas of involvement for the interested resident or emergency physician without formal training. Jeffrey Feden MD - submitter, presenter Brown University, Warwick, RI Daniel Garza MD - presenter Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA Moira Davenport MD - presenter Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA Creating a Successful Research Assistant Program in your Emergency Department DS020 вЂ“ Peachtree D Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 2:00 - 2:50 pm Emergency medicine core faculty faces difficult demands on their time and often do not have the resources to initiate original research. Creating a team of research assistants (RAs) to enroll patients is a core part of succeeding at this mission. This session will describe two successful ways of accomplishing these goals: 1) University-based Research Associates Program: this method is sometimes referred to as an Emergency Medicine Research Associates Program or EMRAP. In this approach, a group of motivated students are selected for a college credit program volunteer in the ED as RAs enrolling patients. The research associates program recruits college students though a competitive process involving an application and selected interviews. Those who are selected receive training in research ethics, HIPAA compliance, use of the electronic medical record (EMR) and live training on how to enroll patients into clinical study. These programs often make use of a permanent research coordinator to co-direct the program. It is estimated that as many as 20 of these programs exist around the US. This segment will provide insight in how to start such a program at your site.2) Funding salaried RAs through use of departmental funds and grants: this segment will discuss ways to fund salaried research associates, who are employees in the ED. Advantages of this approach include having longer-term RAs who require fewer episodes of training, and to allow them to be paid for their services. Requirements include establishing a long-term coordinator to run the program, and obtaining initial and steady-state funding, through a mix of grants and contracts from government, foundation and industrial sources. Objectives: Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1) Identify two ways to create a research associates team within an emergency medicine residency program. 2)Describe the basic process of creating a program, as well as some of the pitfalls that may occur, as well as growing and maturing the program.

However, often it is not possible to do a true randomized, controlled experiment, usually because of feasibility or ethical issues. In general, non-randomized, non-controlled data need to be used cautiously when assessing the effect of an intervention, as internal validity may be compromised by a number of factors such as confounding, temporality, selection bias, diffusion of intervention effects, or regression to the mean. Quasi-experimental study designs and analytic methods minimize threats to internal validity using a variety of approaches. Some of the methods to be discussed are also applicable to the analysis of observational data, but the focus will be on how to work with data collected under circumstances where the researcher has control over the intervention but not necessarily over who is exposed. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe principles of causal inference and related concepts 2. Discuss a broad range of quasi-experimental study methods and determine whether and how to apply these methods to their own data and research questions 3. Appreciate how quasi-experimental methods can be used to perform highquality EM research.

Assessing Procedural Competence DS022 вЂ“ Peachtree C Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 2:30 - 3:50 pm Procedural skills involve a complex combination of cognitive and technical skills. The new ACGME milestones and potentially requirements for maintenance of certification are increasingly requiring that learners and practitioners be formally assessed for competency. In addition, assessment also provides an opportunity for feedback to enhance skill development. Both of these goals require use of effective and valid tools. This session will review the evidence supporting the use of various assessment modalities including self-assessment, direct-observation, use of non-physician evaluators, and simulation. It will also review available assessment tools such as the OSATS instrument. The session will cover issues related to determining the validity of an assessment and development of a toolbox. Through the use of case examples and small groups participants will practice use of common assessment instruments and strategies for their implementation. Due to the interactive nature of the small group sessions, additional facilitators may employed for these sections of the workshop including Samantha Hauff MD; Alyssa Bryant MD; Jeff Siegelman MD; and Jared Novack MD. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the needs, benefits, and limitation of assessment of procedural competency 2. Discuss the educational rationale behind assessment of skills 3. Identify methods that optimize use of available resources to perform procedural assessment on trainees. 4.

Nominations for the panelists were solicited from program directors via the CDEM listserve. After reviewing the nominations and descriptions, the SAEM Resident & Student Advisory Committee voted for top candidates. Three speakers were selected to describe a change they implemented at their program вЂ“ why it was needed, steps they took toward their goal, barriers they faced, and outcomes. The panelists include Dr. Karen Lind, Maimonides Medical Center, Dr. Shereaf Walid, Detroit Receiving Hospital, and Dr. Jon Heidt, Washington University. Each panelist will be allotted 15 minutes to discuss their innovation or leadership experience as a resident. Dr. Lind will discuss creating and pioneering the education fellowship at her institution, Dr. Walid will discuss his transformation of his programвЂ™s didactics, and Dr. Heidt will discuss his work on a national level as a resident advocate in curricular reform. The senior faculty, Dr. Carey Chisholm, Indiana University, serving as the expert on leading from within was selected by the Committee co-chairs due to his tenure as the longest-serving program director in EM and his commitment to innovation. He will be allotted 10 minutes in closing remarks on what makes a resident successful in implementing change. In the remaining 20 minutes participants will break into 3 groups led by each panelist to discuss steps residents can take to create change in the panelists areasвЂ™ of expertise: curricular reform, post-residency education and national committee involvement. Dr. Marie Vrablik will serve as the session moderator. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to describe a framework for promoting change and leading initiatives within a residency program or department. Participants should also have the opportunity to establish a network or identify a mentor for promoting specific changes to their respective programs related to the panelistsвЂ™ experiences.

Academic chairs are subsequently faced with the seemingly difficult burden to somehow determine how much someone is worth. The days of simply saying that we teach residents and therefore it equals 10 hours of protected time are long distant memories. Academic emergency departments face the same dilemma that every community organization faces: how to keep costs down and maximize profitability for not just the department but for the organization at large. Every hour must be accounted for, every academic obligation charted, and every clinical shift covered. Justifying a new full time employee or someoneвЂ™s protected time requires combing through complicated formulas. Formulas which are meant to explain productivity. From a clinical standpoint, our productivity is measured in RVUs; each of which is generated from our procedures, our documentation, our level of billing and coding. Ascribing a Relative Value Unit to resident education, clerkship directorships, committee involvement, EMS oversight, and research (to name but a few of the roles we play) is a much trickier and more complicated recipe. A panel of academic administrators, chairs, and business leaders in EM will analyze and discuss how productivity is defined; how to potentially maximize oneвЂ™s productivity; and what the potential impact of a tightening health care system will have on academic dollars. A short question and answer period will follow at the end of the panel presentation to allow for audience participation. Objectives: At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Define productivity in terms of clinical and academic output. 2. Identify the budget challenges academic departments face in the present and the future 3. Promote how physicians can work collaboratively with administration to create a set of goals to ensure that both the academic and clinical mission of a department are met.

Qualitative study designs commonly use in-depth interviews, focus groups, and field observation. Qualitative methods are particularly relevant in emergency medicine, where research questions often have little existing research background and outcomes are difficult to measure. These techniques are being used increasingly in emergency medical research, however, they are frequently misunderstood and few emergency physicians have formal training in this area. This introductory session will enhance participantsвЂ™ capacity to design and conduct scientifically sound qualitative research. The faculty are emergency physician researchers with experience in qualitative methods and will use their projects to highlight concepts. Dr. Landman will discuss when to use qualitative methods and will describe how he used in-depth interviews to study emergency medical services agencies implementation of electronic patient care reports. Dr. Rhodes will provide an overview of qualitative methods focusing on core principles and practices, including selecting a study design. Dr. Rhodes will discuss how she used audiotaped ED visits to understand doctor-patient communication and focus groups and semi-structured interviews to identify asthma patientsвЂ™ preferences for ED or primary care. Dr. Schuur will describe how to plan a qualitative research study, find mentors and collaborators, and resources required. Dr. Schuur will discuss how he used interviews and focus groups to identify successful infection prevention strategies in EDs. A question and answer session will follow. Objectives: At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Define and describe qualitative research methods; 2. Select appropriate qualitative methods for emergency medicine research questions; 3. D escribe example emergency medicine qualitative research studies.

The report concluded that to advance understanding of the health needs of all LGBT individuals, researchers need more data about the demographics of these populations, improved methods for collecting and analyzing data, and an increased participation of sexual and gender minorities in research. The Joint Commission and the Department of Health and Human Services have both followed suit with plans for addressing the health needs of LGBT individuals, citing a need for education of health care providers. Recently, JAMA reported that medical schools, on average, have less than 5 hours of LGBTspecific content. The literature shows that 40% of LGBT patients cite lack of provider education as a barrier to care; 10% report being refused care outright; and 27% fear being treated poorly by providers. The SAEM position statement on diversity highlights the imperative that all physicians be trained to treat patients from all cultural backgrounds. As LGBT health takes a national spotlight, it is essential that our specialty responds with the appropriate educational tools to train the next generation of physicians to care for sexual minorities. The proposed panel discussion will address key areas related to LGBT health and the status of LGBT healthcare education. Objectives: At the end of this session participants should be able to 1. List LGBT terminology and definitions 2. Describe the role of EM physicians in providing a better health care experience for LGBT patients. 3. Describe LGBT health care disparities and the complex variables, including current laws that affect LGBT health 4. Summarize the results of a survey of EM programs regarding their current LGBT Health curricula and their educational gaps.

Its most important use is in the detection of acute coronary obstruction and it is the most important, cost-effective, and immediately available initial test in the decision for emergency reperfusion therapy. However, its full potential is not being realized. In more than 25% of Non-STEMIs, the infarct-related artery (IRA) is occluded, and in these patients, biomarker levels and mortality are high. However, there is little in-depth ECG analysis helpful in identifying this group. Thus, there is a high false negative cath lab activation rate, and future research should be aimed at improving the sensitivity and specificity of the EKG for acute coronary occlusion. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. To describe the State of the Art in the use of ECG in acute coronary occlusion, 2. Describe opportunities for research pathways in the future. Stephen Smith MD вЂ“ submitter, presenter Hennepin County Medical Center, University of Minnesota School of Medicine, MN Choosing a High-Impact Resident or Student Quality Improvement Project and Getting it Published DS028 вЂ“ Plaza Ballroom A Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 8:00 - 8:50 am Emergency Medicine Residency competencies and milestones require a substantive experience in quality improvement (QI). For example, the recently released RRC-EM and ABEM Milestones consider participation in institutional process improvement and the use of analytical tools to assess quality and safety central to resident development. One key part of this is participation in a QI project. A well-designed QI project gives a resident hands-on experience in systems-based practice and excellent preparation for employment in our rapidly changing healthcare environment. Yet in a residentвЂ™s busy schedule it can be difficult to identify, develop and complete a QI project that has a meaningful impact on the ED and can be presented in a manner that supports academic development. This session will enhance participantsвЂ™ capacity to identify, design and conduct impactful QI projects and promote their work through presentation and publication. The faculty members are national experts on quality improvement who have worked with residents and students to conduct and publish QI projects. Dr. Kelly will review residency requirements regarding quality improvement and present a framework for resident involvement in QI across the duration of residency. Dr. Schuur will review methods of QI project design that are likely to lead to valid improvements and can be presented or published. Dr. Venkatesh will identify venues for funding, presenting and publishing resident QI projects. Using actual projects the presenters will review appropriate topics for student and resident QI projects. A question and answer session will follow. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Plan resident or student involvement in quality improvement across the duration of residency 2. S elect an appropriate topic for QI projects and a valid study design 3. Describe potential funding sources for QI projects and venues for academic presentation and publication.

A few bold individuals step outside the ER to join the elite ranks of the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) where they conduct epidemiologic investigations in the field, oversee public health surveillance, and fight the global burden of disease. The role of the CDC, the guidelines they produce, and the coordination of resources they provide become increasingly important as healthcare shifts to a focus on population health. In this session, members will hear from several members of the CDC who got their start in emergency medicine followed by a fellowship in Epidemic Intelligence Services (EIS). Panelists include David Sugerman MD MPH, a Medical Officer in the Division of Injury Response who will talk specifically about his work in trauma systems and disaster surveillance and response, and Samuel Graciter MD, a medical epidemiologist with the Immunization Services Division. Both panelists will explain how their work and that of the CDC is relevant to the practice of emergency medicine, how it relates to hospital emergency management, and how it is effecting and effected by evolving trends in healthcare policy. They will also discuss their career paths and ways to get involved with the CDC. They will give an overview of next steps for emergency physicians interested in a career or involvement with the CDC. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Define career options that exist at the CDC within medical epidemiology, including EIS, and disease prevention. 2. Describe recent CDC initiatives such as pandemic flu preparedness, updated field triage guidelines, treating and containing AIDS in Africa and Asia, and establishing guidelines for the treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury.

DS030 вЂ“ International B Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 9:00 - 9:50 am It will be 10 years since publication of the Academic Emergency MedicineвЂ™s (AEM) Consensus Conference special issue on Disparities in Emergency Health Care. The goal of the AEM 2003 Consensus Conference was to improve the emergency medical care of patients by critically evaluating the presence, causes, and outcomes related to disparities in emergency health care. With the founding of the Academy for Inclusion and Diversity in Emergency Medicine (ADIEM), we take a historical look at where we are in EM as it relates to topics of Disparities and Diversity in EM. In addition, SAEMвЂ™s position statement published in 2000 believes that attaining diversity in EM residencies and faculty that reflect our multicultural society is a desirable and achievable goal. We have pioneers in EM who have been key leaders on these topics who can reflect on SAEMвЂ™s past and make recommendations for the future. Objectives: At the end of this session participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the history of Diversity and Disparities work in SAEM. 2. Review EM education on health care disparities including best practices. 3. I dentify ways to recruit, retain and promote a diverse EM physician workforce. 4. Illustrate strategies to ensure growth in SAEMвЂ™s mission to develop didactic, educational, research and other programs to assist academic emergency medicine departments to improve diversity at their institutions.

Children are cared for by general emergency physicians in 75% of all their Emergency Department encounters. In addition, greater than 90% of their care is provided in non-pediatric emergency departments. Children present unique clinical challenges to EPвЂ™s. Current residency training requirements dictate that only 16% of all patient encounters be pediatric; despite the fact in a typical Emergency Medicine practice, children may account for 25% of all visits. Therefore, training requirements do not reflect the patient mix encountered in practice, making it imperative to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of resident Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) training. As a PEM educational framework, we seek to exploit the clinical acumen and heuristics resident utilize for adult patient care and behaviorally translate it for applicability to pediatric patients. Its clinical applicability to pediatric scenarios is largely shaped by the notable clinical differences in children but done through a prism of more developed general ED skills. Potentially, this framework could serve as a template for other PEM educational opportunities. This didactic session will explore the idea of harnessing key differences between adult and pediatric presentations to enhance resident PEM training. Using the adult chest pain ABdominal pain and resuscitative practice; we hope to transpose those elements of adult care most applicable to PEM and highlight the notable differences to improve the EPвЂ™s pediatric care acumen. Audience participation will be solicited along with an opendiscussion following the session. Objectives: At the completion of the course, participants should be able to: 1. List ways to maximally leverage general EM knowledge bases to enhance PEM skill sets of residents in their PEM training and 2. Describe critical differences in pediatric and adult diagnoses with significant morbidity and mortality. Jeffrey Hom MD, MPH - submitter Stony Brook University School of Medicine, Stony Brook, NY Robert Cloutier MD, MCR вЂ“ presenter Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR The Inside Scoop: Background Information and Tips On Using The Large National Datasets Provided by NCHS and HCUP, Including NHAMCS and NEDS DS032 вЂ“ Plaza Ballroom A Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 9:00 - 10:20 am The CDCвЂ™s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and AHRQвЂ™s Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) provide well known national data resources, including NHAMCS and NEDS, which EM researchers commonly employ to answer questions and generate hypotheses on a national, regional, and state level. The goal of this session is to provide inside perspectives on NCHS and HCUP data products which will help EM investigators conduct novel and also appropriate and effective research using these resources. At the beginning of the session, the moderator will provide a brief overview of the data products provided by NCHS and HCUP. Subsequently, two senior representatives from NCHS and HCUP will give succinct presentations (20 minutes each) describing the resources available, the history of these resources, how each resource is collected and made available, how emergency medicine researchers may obtain access to the resources, and how to use the resources most appropriately. This section will be followed by presentations (10 minutes each) from two established emergency medicine researchers on their experiences working with NCHS and HCUP data, focusing on what kind of questions can be asked, examples of previous work, and issues they have encountered in working with the data. The remaining time (15 minutes) will be devoted to a panel discussion comparing the different resources available and addressing common issues in their use, including how to most effectively work with the NCHS and HCUP staff in conducting analyses and accessing internal files and security processes, as well as answering audience questions. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the national data resources available through NCHS and HCUP. 2. Formulate research questions that may be addressed through use of the NCHS and HCUP. 3. Identify potential issues they will encounter when using these resources and how to overcome these issues.

The challenge lies in choosing a topic that will be fundable and bear fruit over the course of several investigations. In this session, three panelists who have succeeded in funding and executing patient-oriented research related to MRSA will discuss their strategies for success. The presenters will demonstrate how critical questions of importance to wide audiences can be pursued by descriptive methods and modest budgets, and how descriptive research paves the way for larger-scale work and interventional trials. They will use the example of MRSA research to demonstrate: 1) Choice of a research question, 2) Selection of the methodological approach, 3) Getting the resources needed to accomplish the research, with discussion of funders including the NIH, CDC, AHRQ, intramural, and industrial sources. Dr. Pallin will give specific examples of publications, grants, and ongoing trials related to MRSA. These will be used to demonstrate how important contributions can be made with various methodologies and various budgets, ranging from descriptive case series to large-scale epidemiology, surveys, qualitative research, and clinical trials. Dr. Talan will describe n multicenter research from EMERGEncy ID Net, a national network of emergency departments that is funded by the CDC, EMERGEncy ID Net approach to CA-MRSA research. Dr. Schuur will demonstrate how MRSA and other hospital-acquired infections can be a focus of healthcare quality research, the importance of knowledge translation and mixed-methods research in quality research, and discuss AHRQ as a funder of emergency medicine research. There will be time for questions and open discussion. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Incorporate a Change in viewpoint of research from project-based to topicbased, accommodating career growth and multiple investigations. 2. Apply a general research interest to specific questions. 3. Describe patient-oriented research designs, from descriptive series to clinical trials. 4.

DS035 вЂ“ International C Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 10 - 11:20 am Want to learn more about the current evidence and variation in practice patterns for pediatric procedural sedation across the country? Perplexed by the medication, monitoring and resource utilization required for pediatric sedations? Few areas of medical practice remain as non-standardized as pediatric sedation. During this interactive session, 3 pediatric emergency medicine specialists with clinical and research experience in procedural sedation will debate the management of 4 pediatric scenarios; including the use of alternatives to standard IV therapy and discussion of innovative and state-of the-art approaches. This fast-paced session will begin by utilizing an audience response system to determine the audienceвЂ™s approach to the scenario. The experts will then be given 3-5 minutes each to argue the evidence supporting their sedation plan for this challenging case scenario. This will be followed by a group discussion of the pros and cons of management choices and the limitations of the current literature. At the conclusion of each scenario, an audience response system will be used to tabulate whether the debate changed the audienceвЂ™s sedation plan. The audience is encouraged to bring their own challenging pediatric scenario for panel discussion during the final 30 minutes of the session. This session will critically evaluate the current literature, optimize pediatric care and encourage an open exchange of ideas and practice styles that will generate future research. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Utilize the latest published evidence and guidelines for pediatric sedation to make management decisions about challenging pediatric scenarios. 2. Discuss the current national variation in practice for sedation and treatment of pain for children. 3.

Emergency physicians, as major prescribers of these potent analgesics, are wise to perform risk assessment prior to prescribing opioid medications to attempt to detect patients at risk for aberrant drug related behaviors. However, most existing screening tools have not yet been validated in emergency department settings and may indeed be limited. We will present the data underlying the need for cautious prescribing, describe strategies to identify and mitigate aberrant use, present effective responses to complex patient demands, and review effective alternatives to opioid-based analgesia. The moderator will frame the problem of ED pain management in the context of patient centered goals and the epidemic of opioid analgesic overdose. The development of tolerance and dependence and its impact on aberrant opioid using behavior, pitfalls in screening tools in the ED, and research needs at the intersection of pain management and addiction will be discussed. Methods will be demonstrated to adapt conversations about non-opioid pain management to conform to patient expectations, particularly those with chronic pain. The utility and limitations of state-based prescription drug monitoring programs will be described. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the scope of prescription opioid misuse and the need for increased scrutiny in ED opioid prescribing. Society for Academic Emergency Medicine 2. Convey pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic strategies to limit opioid prescribing while maintaining patient centered care and satisfaction. 3.

DS037 вЂ“ Plaza Ballroom A Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 10:30 - 11:50 am Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) play a key role in support of the decision-dense and algorithmic nature of EM practice. Furthermore the broad nature of EM demands evidence based guidance and decision support sanctioned by respected organizations adopting sound and unbiased methods. CPGs can standardize practice and suggest quality measures that monitor their impact; they can also mitigate medico-legal risk if followed. Unfortunately, they are also resource intense to develop, frequently inactionable, often out of date and supported by a weak evidence base leading to a paucity of strong recommendations. As a result, they are frequently perceived as watered-down and directionless and thus viewed skeptically by some target end-users. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and the American College of Emergency Physicians are the developers and guardians of the highest impact CPGs in EM. This session will highlight developments in CPG methodology that are being adopted by these organizations which are designed to address many of these limitations. Particular emphasis will be placed on how ACEP is attempting to meet the standards laid out in the recent Institute of Medicine report entitled Clinical Practice Guidelines we can Trust as well as ILCORвЂ™s transition to the GRADE approach to CPG development. The session will also highlight other pertinent developments in guideline science designed to facilitate the critical appraisal, adaptation and implementation of CPGs at the local level as well as opportunities for EM academics to become involved in important national and international initiatives. Objectives: At the completion of this session participants should be able to: 1. Explain the rationale and methodology underlying changes in guideline development by ILCOR and ACEP. 2. Summarize the international efforts to improve guideline development and implementation through rigorously developed instruments that address grading the quality of recommendations and the strength of recommendations 3.Describe the tools for guideline appraisal, adaptation and implementation.

It will serve as an introduction of the curriculum as a resource in addressing ethical dilemmas and circumstances all emergency providers face in the practice of emergency medicine. The complete curriculum is comprehensive, and as an introduction, this course will focus only on the first module: The Physician Patient Relationship. Specifically content will address concerns with competence, beneficence, and compassion; confidentiality and privacy; and skillful communication and truthfulness. After a general introduction to the curriculum resources, participants will break into moderated small groups for a case based discussion of ethical dilemmas. Groups will then reconvene and discuss in large group format demonstrating use of the principles and resources of the newly developed ethics curriculum. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the relationship between physician competency and professional ethics. 2. Describe challenges to maintaining compassion and beneficence in emergency medicine. 3. Explain the roles of confidentiality and privacy in the emergency department management of patients. 4.

But What Do You Do Afterwards? DS039 вЂ“ International C Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 11:30 - 12:50 pm YouвЂ™re working a busy shift in the ED. Your next patient is an 82 year-old man who tripped while getting out of bed last night; he has a 3.5 cm laceration to the left eyebrow. There is some swelling around his eye but you donвЂ™t find anything else. You suture the laceration and send him home. Five days later, he returns for suture removal and is blind in the left eye. The ophthalmology consultant diagnoses rupture of a previous corneal graft and endophthalmitis. The patient requires enucleation of his left eye. In retrospect, you realize that the nurses forgot to check a visual acuity (despite a policy in place about checking it on patients with facial trauma). Also, the default H&P wording you accepted in the EMR failed to document the extent of your physical exam and led to some incorrect statements. Now what? The emergency department is a high-risk environment for adverse outcomes вЂ“ some inevitable and some due to medical errors. This interactive panel discussion will provide tools for what to do in the face of such outcomes, whether you are the provider involved, a faculty member responsible for safety and quality improvement, or a faculty member who wants to model an appropriate response for residents. Panelists will use this actual case to illustrate three key action steps: (1) full disclosure of any errors to the patient and family, along with an offer to help mitigate the medical, social and economic impacts of the event; (2) support for the second victim, the medical staff involved in the error; and (3) a diligent analysis, looking for the system-level factors that contributed to the outcome and changing the system in ways that will reduce the likelihood of similar events in the future. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the pitfalls of the traditional response to crisis вЂ“ a slow, stonewalling, defensive approach that risks antagonizing patient and family, blaming the provider, and missing opportunities for systems-level improvement 2.Work with colleagues to develop a response plan for adverse outcomes in their EDs Robert Wears MD, MS, PhD - submitter University of Florida, Jacksonville, FL Kathleen Lanava MD - presenter University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor, MI Albert Wu MD, MPH - presenter Johns Hopkins, Baltimore MD Terry Fairbanks MD, MS - presenter Medstar, Washington, DC Building Blocks for Establishing Hospital-based Violence Intervention Programs in (Your) Emergency Departments DS040 вЂ“ Plaza Ballroom B Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 11:30 - 12:50 pm Each year, over 1.5 million victims are treated in hospitals nationwide for nonfatal gunshot, stabbing, and other physical-assault injuries. A national study found 44% of those under age 24 and hospitalized for violent injuries were later readmitted due to violence and 22% became victims of homicide. Violence is the leading cause of death for young African American males aged 15-34, and the 2nd leading cause of death for young Latino males (but only 5th among white males age 1534). Disadvantaged & minority youth are not only at higher risk of violent injury, but also at higher risk of long-term mental and physical morbidity. In 1998, the U.S. Department of JusticeвЂ™s Office for Victims of Crime (VOC) responded to an American Academy of PediatricsвЂ™ report on youth violence and recommended that hospital-based counseling and prevention programs be established in medical May 14-18, 2013 | Atlanta, Georgia 43 facilities that provide services to gang violence victims. Today, the National Network of Hospital-based Violence Intervention Programs (NNHVIP) connects 17 member programs from Boston, Chicago, Oakland and other cities across the country through: (1) a comprehensive service model for violently-injured youth, beginning in the ED; and (2) education of emergency physicians and staff on the VIP model. However, there is a need for the VIP model to disseminate across the country. During this special session; a panel of NNHVIP members will discuss the challenges and details of successful models that address violence in our communities. During this didactic, attendees will learn why and how to apply the VIP model in their own ED. The discussion will close with next steps for research, education, and dissemination of this model. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. List steps to introducing ED hospital based violence intervention programs to medical centers and create a plan to develop one at their own ED 2. Describe Trauma Informed Care 3. Create a standardized data base to capture quantitative and qualitative data for evaluating programmatic efficacy and quality. 4. Conduct research for program evaluation 5.

As most academic emergency departments have already made the transition to EHRs, the focus now is on how to use these tools to improve care delivery. Given the content expertise of the moderator and panelists, all who have led their respective academic EDs through this optimization, we will discuss lessons learned on how best to harness the power available in EHRs. Next, we will discuss the administrative steps needed to maximize the potential of the system to support ED operations (including how one factors in the additional complexity of residents and other healthcare learners). Lastly, we will explore steps that can be proactively taken to assure that good data is available, both to monitor the dayto-day operations, but also for research and educational purposes. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the current environment of ED-only vs. hospital-wide EHRs and the pros and cons of each type. 2.

DS042 вЂ“ International B Session Time: Friday, May 17, 2013 8:00 - 8:50 am The United States health care system has seen a dramatic rise in the use of computed tomography (CT) during the past several decades. Emergency departments are responsible for a large percentage of the CTs performed. In many instances, CT scans are the optimal diagnostic modality in the ED, however, at times CT is unnecessary and there can be significant drawbacks. Specifically, CT scans are an important source of harmful radiation, lead to increased resource 44 utilization and length of stay, and may unnecessarily increase health care costs. Recently, the cancer risk associated with diagnostic radiation has been rigorously studied and publicized in the media. Consequently, physicians should be knowledgeable of the true risks associated with CT, and the up-to-date strategies involved in minimizing the unnecessary use of this modality as well as techniques available to minimize radiation dosing. This didactic will review the current knowledge regarding diagnostic imaging and radiation, critically discuss how to incorporate this knowledge into emergency medicine practice, and discuss stateof-the-art research examining methods to decrease the unnecessary use of CT. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Understand the radiation dosing associated with various computed tomography (CT) scans and the implications for different patient populations\ 2. Recognize strategies to minimize unnecessary use of CT imaging including the use of electronic clinical decision support and alternative imaging modalities. 3.

For two reasons, emergency department patients are at heightened risk for adverse effects from opioid analgesic administration. First, unlike anesthesiologists who can provide analgesia before a painful stimulus is generated, emergency physicians are required to control pain that already exists. Emergency physicians, therefore, frequently administer elevated doses of analgesics relative to colleagues. Second, emergency physicians cannot know the timing, dose, and potency of opioid analgesics that a patient might take before or after an ED encounter. This didactic session will use real-world examples to highlight methods for avoiding in-ED opioid toxicity. The moderator, Kavita Babu MD, will frame the problem of management of pain in the ED in the context of patient satisfaction and the epidemic of opioid analgesic overdose. (10 minutes). The presentation will rely upon a series of concrete examples of ED opioid over- and misprescribing that have led to patient morbidity and mortality. Dr. Boyer will then 1) review the literature and analyzes each case from a toxicologic perspective; 2) describe methods that avoid preventable morbidity and mortality; and 3) discuss next steps for patient safety and overdose prevention research. Anticipated cases include: co-administration of opioids and benzodiazepines; administration of opioids to obese patients; dispensing fentanyl patches from the ED; and administration of a single opioid dose (e.g., one for the road) prior to discharge (40 minutes). Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe dangerous opioid prescribing practices; 2. Effectively utilize techniques to safely and effectively treat pain, while providing adequate analgesia; 3. D escribe important next steps for ED-based analgesia research.

Emergency medicine educators have varied responsibilities and skill sets, some of which are difficult to highlight in a traditional curriculum vitae format. An educational portfolio is a document, set of documents, website, or other format which brings to attention and into one place all of the efforts put forth by an educator. A properly completed portfolio can be quite powerful in displaying your accomplishments to a P&T committee. This session will start by briefly covering the creation and contents of an educational portfolio. This will be followed by a panel discussion comprised of academic emergency physicians who have experience with promotion and tenure decisions. These accomplished academicians will provide examples of how educational portfolios can be used to support promotion and will discuss features of portfolios which add to their impact. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the basic concept and philosophy of an educational portfolio 2. List the components of an educational portfolio 3.

With increased availability, speed and accuracy of CT imaging, a dramatic increase in the use of CT imaging has occurred in the trauma setting. Much of this has occurred without an evidence base in the literature. As health care costs continue to rise and public concerns about radiation exposure escalate, emergency physicians will play an essential role in defining the future of trauma imaging research. This didactic session will explore the current state of research on the topics of chest and abdominal imaging for patients with trauma. A panel of experts in various disciplines within emergency medicine (trauma practice, research, quality measures) are brought together to: (1) discuss the basis of the current state of trauma imaging (e.g. does pan scanning improve mortality?), (2) debate the philosophical importance of identifying every injury versus only the clinically important ones (does a clinical decision rule need to be 100% sensitive for all abnormal findings?), and (3) develop a roadmap for future research goals (what is the ideal study design to develop a trauma imaging clinical decision rule?). Dr. Steill will discuss what the research methodology needed to determine ideal imaging strategies for patients with trauma. Dr. Legome will discuss the present research obstacles that exist at trauma centers in the US. Dr. Raja will describe the current state of trauma imaging and imaging quality measures at Level I Trauma Centers. Our short-term goal is to develop a white paper from this didactic that will define the emergency medicine research agenda for trauma imaging, with the eventual goal of developing the topic into a Consensus Conference. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the current state of the art regarding trauma imaging strategies 2. Discuss how a list of relevant clinical findings will drive future efforts to improve imaging strategies can best be defined 3.

Yet the value of emergency care remains poorly understood. This process is vital as health policy increasingly focuses on accountability for costs and quality measures reflected in the move toward Accountable Care Organizations, pay-for-performance, and bundled payments. The ED is frequently stereotyped as being a wasteful cost center by government and other payers who remain skeptical regarding the value of care delivered in this setting, but emergency care must be assessed in the proper context to understand its value. The reality is that EDs continue to see significant patient demand for their services. Additional considerations include the societal services the ED provides such as a universal safety net, disaster preparedness, and public health surveillance that are important considerations when calculating the value of emergency care. Emergency providers also sit at the cross roads of the outpatient and inpatient arenas of the US health care system and control one of the most routine expensive decisions in health careвЂ”the decision to admit or discharge. Therefore, determining a value framework to measure emergency care is critical due to the common and often costly decisions made in the ED setting. Questions to be asked of the panel include: How would you define value in health care? How is the value of emergency care best assessed by this definition? What are 3 areas most ripe for measuring value in the practice of emergency medicine? What are the top challenges to emergency providers in delivering value-based health care? How will a focus on value under the current climate of health reform most impact the everyday practice of emergency providers? Objectives: At the completion of the session, participants should be able to understand issues in defining and measuring value in emergency care, specifically: 1. Describe how value is defined in health care; 2. Conceptualize how value should be measured in emergency care; 3. Explore the implications of value-based health reform on the practice of emergency medicine.

While educators view providing feedback as a crucial step towards improving learner performance, less is understood about how to provide effective feedback to problem residents and students. We will draw upon seminal articles in the feedback literature to both enable the participant to understand the psychological impact of feedback from the receiverвЂ™s perspective, and empower participants to employ practical strategies to successfully engage the learner in accepting feedback. Course description: This session will utilize a combination of short didactic presentations exploring the science of feedback, video stimuli for facilitated discussion and deliberate practice (using residents trained to be learners with difficulty) to enable May 14-18, 2013 | Atlanta, Georgia 45 participants to understand the challenges and develop effective practice.

Recognition of this specific patient population and their potential for unique emergent presentations has prompted the development of specialty sections within larger emergency departments or separate subspecialty emergency departments altogether. Elder patients can often present with distinctive and sometimes complex medical conditions, stay longer for more extensive diagnostic testing and treatment regimens, and require special needs during their visit all of which may make rapid triage, diagnosis and disposition difficult in the traditional emergency department setting. In response to healthcare reform legislation, hospitals are identifying the emergency department as a priority among future facility development plans including upgrading infrastructure and technology to better serve the patient population. As a result, many facilities are moving ahead with new construction to expand and/ or renovate existing emergency departments. In this lecture, we will address ways to integrate changes to existing or future emergency departments specific to geriatric patients. Issues addressed will include physical space, quality initiatives, operational enhancements (observation protocols), staff and resident education and overall coordination of hospital resources. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Discuss the clinical reasoning behind the establishment of geriatric emergency departments. 2. Describe the infrastructure and personnel needed to establish a geriatric emergency department (or section within larger department). 3.

However, the presentation of infections such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections are often diagnostically challenging for many ED physicians. Meanwhile, infections of the skin and soft tissues pose an increased burden in the ED setting, and lack of consensus in management is the rule rather than the exception. Overall, dilemmas remain for each of these aforementioned infections, with respect to clinical evaluation, approach to diagnostic testing, and choice of most appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Accumulated evidence, including more recent trials, have advanced our knowledge of pediatric infectious diseases, and have permitted evidence-based approaches to their diagnosis and treatment. In this session, the most up-todate evidence for ED management of skin and soft tissue infection, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections in children will be presented. The presenters will 46 discuss current epidemiology and review the evidence-based approach to clinical evaluation and diagnostic testing for each of these infections. The discussants will also synthesize current literature with respect therapeutic decisions, and present recommended therapies from recent guidelines released by the Infectious Disease Society of America and the American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition, discussion of ongoing large scale, ED-based clinical trials for these infections will be presented. Following the presentation, audience participation will be solicited. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1.

DS051 вЂ“ International E-F Session Time: Friday, May 17, 2013 10:00 - 10:50 am Many Emergency Medicine (EM) faculty, residents, and medical students have some involvement in international collaborations and service. Despite the many attractions in having a career in Global Emergency Medicine, there are inherent challenges. These include child rearing, short-notice deployments, hazardous work environments, among many others. The field of academic global health is extremely diverse; this variability enables many different career options that may allow flexibility when considering the constraints of work-life balance. By sharing the collective experiences of successful GEMA and AWAEM members, we will address some of the questions and concerns that emergency physicians may have in pursuing this career choice. In this session, four nationally recognized senior academicians in Global Emergency Medicine will participate in a panel discussion on the trials and tribulations of choosing a career in global health. The four panelists span a breath of global health-related career tracks and personal life choices, thus making the discussion diverse and broad so that many issues are discussed. Interspersed with the discussion, the moderator will provide a brief review of the current statistics and literature in this field. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the breadth of global health career choices. 2.

However, few emergency physicians think of themselves as proficient in this type of communication. We tend to focus on the immediate challenges in the ED rather than working for change on an institutional, state, or national level. Moreover, even those emergency physicians interested in policy often lack the necessary knowledge base and skills to be effective. This interactive session will, first, broadly introduce participants to the impact that effective education and engagement of policymakers can have on our specialty and our patients.

Approximately 100,000-140,000 children and adolescents present to the emergency department for concussion each year in the United States. Immediate recognition of concussion and prompt initiation of treatment in the form of complete cognitive and physical rest is essential to promote recovery, and to prevent prolonged physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms. While emergency departments frequently serve as the initial point of entry for the care of pediatric concussion patients, providers may not have adequate training or tools necessary to provide standardized and evidence-based care. For this didactic session, the presenters will discuss the diagnosis, management, and after-care for concussion. A growing body of basic and clinical research has provided the evidence for standardized evaluation of concussion and prompt treatment with physical and cognitive rest. General awareness of concussion and a growing number of state laws requiring medical clearance before return to activity has resulted in a significant increase in concussion-related visits in a variety of clinical settings, including the emergency department. The presenters will provide the recent literature and recommend evidence-based best practices that emergency physicians can readily implement into their everyday practice. Following the formal didactic presentation, there will be allotted time for questions and discussion. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the principles of diagnosis and management of pediatric concussion. 2. Explain the role that emergency medicine physicians can play in initiating cognitive and physical rest, and recommending appropriate follow-up.

DS060 вЂ“ International B Session Time: Saturday, May 18, 2013 8:00 - 8:50 am Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are potent tools that, if used properly, assess the efficacy of potential therapeutic interventions for a wide range of problems and patients. Conducting a high quality RCT is challenging under ideal circumstances; conducting RCTs in the ED presents unique and often significant methodological barriers compared to more traditional research settings. RCTs that test the efficacy of behavioral interventions (BI) should ensure a high quality, high fidelity BI across subjects, interventionists and sites. These challenges are particularly problematic in chaotic environments, such as seen in many EDs. Many ED patients with problematic substance use might appear вЂ�less-than-idealвЂ™ subjects, given economic barriers, homelessness and a generally unstable environment. We will identify common challenges experienced by the researcher when conducting BI in the acute care/ED setting. We will also describe strategies to identify, recruit and maintain research subject interest, including strategies particularly useful for the вЂ�less-than-idealвЂ™ participant. We will draw upon our recent experience with the SMART-ED (Screening, Motivational Assessment and Referral to Treatment in Emergency Departments) multicenter trial. This NIDA funded trial delivered a high fidelity BI across 6 different US ED sites. The design and sample size estimates required enrollment of 1,285 subjects with at least 85% follow-up at 3-months post-randomization. Because the efficacy of BIs for drug use in the ED is not known, we will describe the steps used to ensure high fidelity and consistency of the BI. We will describe challenges faced and strategies used to enroll our target sample with nearly 90% follow-up at 3 months. Objectives: At the completion of this session participants should be able to: 1. Discuss strategies and factors associated with the identification of subjects during screening who will have a high probability of completing a behavioral intervention (BI) study. 2. Describe steps and techniques to develop, test and maintain a high fidelity behavioral intervention for substance use in ED patients. 3. Develop a cohort maintenance strategy to track and maintain participation of subjects in a BI trial.

As a critical emerging field, high quality gender based research and data analysis is sought after by medical journals and by the National Institutes of Health. However, little gender-specific research has been conducted within emergency medicine. EM scholars can consider important gender-based questions within their current area of research. Such inquiry potentially impacts the medical care of both sexes and may provide researchers with additional opportunities for scholarship. This session aims to stimulate interest in research on gender-specific medicine and understand the challenges and solutions of performing gender-based analyses. The session will be an 80-minute moderated panel presentation with: 1) a brief introduction (5 minutes, Dr. Choo); 2) discussion of a general framework for considering relevant gender-specific research questions within diverse areas of emergency medicine research and analytic strategies for approaching the question of the impact of gender on clinical outcomes (25 minutes, Dr. Lewis); and 3) demonstration of how EM physicians have applied these approaches, using as examples a) research on the diagnostic testing for cardiovascular disease (20 minutes, Dr. Diercks) and b) research on female hormone therapy for traumatic brain injury (20 minutes, Dr. Wright). The session will conclude with 10 minutes for questions from the audience. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe basic approaches that enable the study of the impact of gender on clinical outcomes. 2.

Despite the multitude of tools available, there is very little formal teaching on the education and design principles necessary to create effective presentations. Often, the tools used to supplement the lecture (usually PowerPoint) do not fully utilize educational and design principles to optimize learning. Some of this may be due to a lack of knowledge of the principles, and some of this may be lack of familiarity with presentation software. There has been a recent explosion of a variety of new presentation software and presenting tools, as well as increased interest in podcasts and e-learning. As we continue to expand our educational arsenal, the principles underlying effective design become even more important. This session will start by making a case for a medical educatorsвЂ™ approach to presentation design. Medical education has specific goals, separate from business or marketing presentations, which play a direct role in designing the elements of a presentation. The session will then review the existing literature on optimal retention, motivation, learning styles, generational differences, and other key education principles that underlie a presentation. Finally, we will discuss and demonstrate the application of these principles, including several easy presentation software elements that can be used to implement the principles. Objectives: At the end of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Review MayerвЂ™s principles of multimedia design 2. Review KosslynвЂ™s theories on creating effective PowerPoint presentations 3. D iscuss other key educational principles integral to effective presentation design 4. List 3 principles of memory and retention in relation to presentation design 5. Take 3 example slides provided in the session and create 3 revised slides implementing the principles discussed in the session.

Historically, many recipients of these grants have gone on to highly successful research careers with federal funding. These grants primarily target junior investigators including medical students, residents, fellows and junior faculty. The most appropriate grant category and application process, however, is often confusing to these interested individuals. This session will provide an overview of each foundationвЂ™s grant offerings and the submission and review process of each. Included will be the type of candidates targeted for these grants, types of proposals that score well and the timeline of review and the scoring system used. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the types of grants offered by SAEM and EMF 2. S ummarize the keys to successfully applying for such a grant.

It has been definitively demonstrated that exceptional performance in diverse fields and domains has a common set of causes and goes beyond genetics, with significant influence contributed by practice and training. Furthermore, it has been shown that by applying the principles of deliberate practice, a person who has reached expert level performance can remain at the same level and prevent skill decay. The steps of deliberate practice are: 1. buy-in from the learner; 2. active learning tasks; 3. immediate feedback; 4. repeated performance to refine the activity. The didactic component of this course will introduce the learner to the step by step process of deliberate practice. During the lecture, participants will be given real examples of how to institute a deliberate practice model into their education endeavors and will be given opportunities to have their questions answered. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Define the process of deliberate practice 2. Incorporate deliberate practice methods into the educational curriculum for trainees and individual educational goals.

As defined by the Partnership for Gender-Specific Medicine, this relatively new science is the study of the differences in the normal function of men and women and in their experiences of the same disease. This holds true across the spectrum of prevention, diagnosis, evaluation, treatment and palliation. The Emergency Department (ED) has become a primary point of contact for health care in the United States with encounters that reflect acute presentation of a spectrum of diseases. The specialty is just beginning to appreciate the areas of acute care medicine in which gender-specific treatment decisions can rapidly and directly impact the outcomes of both women and men. This presentation will take the audience through 5 systems using the ESPN style of Top 5 Plays of the Day. May 14-18, 2013 | Atlanta, Georgia 49 Each expert presenter will update the audience on the top Gender-Specific EM articles for 2012-13 in Cardiology, Sports Medicine, Traumatic Injuries, Sepsis and Neurologic Emergencies and how they impact menвЂ™s health.

Publication guidelines for most research designs have been developed and refined over the last decade. Researchers, methodologists, and journal editors accepted all of these guidelines before disseminating them across a large variety of clinical specialties. These guidelines include the CONSORT, PRISMA, STARD, STROBE, and MOOSE statements. By promoting better-informed reporting and enhanced reviewing, these guidelines minimize variability and reduce bias, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the research product. Unfortunately, most guidelines remain widely underutilized by research groups, journal editors, and the readers of the medical literature. The result is highly variable, often biased research reporting that increases the overall workload of the healthcare consumer. The EQUATOR group is an international collaboration with the mission to increase the general awareness, adoption and implementation of these guidelines, while providing a forum for the refinement of future guidelines. 50 The presentation will consist of three 15-minute presentations by Dr. Hiestand, Dr. Meisel, and Dr. Carpenter discussing the methodological process to develop publication guidelines, the EQUATOR dissemination model, and the impact that these guidelines have upon manuscript quality. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Understand why publication guidelines have been developed 2. Describe where to find appropriate publication guidelines 3. Detail how to incorporate the guidelines into ongoing work. 4. Describe resources to facilitate successful incorporation of these principles into scientific and academic work-products.

Mentoring goes beyond passing on knowledge and skill, and involves teaching, sponsorship, guidance, socialization into a profession, and moral support. Mentoring has been shown to enhance career development and satisfaction, productivity and networking. Traditional mentoring involves a higher-ranked, more experienced advisor who mentors a newer, less experienced mentee. Traditional mentoring has been shown to be very effective but can have limitations such as a shortage of mentors, and lack of consistency of mentors skills and abilities. Peer mentoring involves a model where all members are essentially the same age, rank and experience level. Peer mentoring may have the added benefits of shared commonalities (stage of life and career), the development of friendships and longer lasting relationships, increased collegiality, and decreased professional isolation. Peer mentoring can be used as an adjunct to traditional mentoring or may stand alone. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Justify the importance of mentoring in an academic career 2. Compare mentoring models traditional vs. peer 3. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of traditional and peer mentoring 4. Understand and interpret the current literature on peer mentoring 5.

DS070 вЂ“ International H Session Time: Saturday, May 18, 2013 10:00 - 10:50 am In teaching, medical educators, like in clinical practice, should use the evidence from the education literature and incorporate it into their teaching practice. This workshop will help participants translate the evidence from some landmark education articles including: 1) How to incorporate the evidence in clinical reasoning about intuitive (pattern recognition) and analytical thinking into your teaching 2) Best evidence in medical education (BEME); how do journal clubs affect learning and practice 3) Learning retention 4) Model for programmatic assessment 5) Hot topic in education research- thinking about validity evidence. The journal articles (evidence) will be briefly presented, then, in small groups the participants will discuss how these findings might be applied to their own settings. The workshop will be highly interactive, requiring participants to use both the evidence and apply it to their teaching, learning and assessment practices. The workshop will incorporate large and small group exercises to understand the concepts and develop ways to improve each participantвЂ™s teaching skills. The participants will understand the evidence in these areas for effective teaching and assessment, take home strategies for improving their teaching using and develop a plan for how they will incorporate the evidence into their teaching practice.

These programs are designed to prepare clinician-scientists for independent research careers and academic leadership roles in Emergency Medicine. This five year, $21 million award represents a major opportunity for junior emergency medicine researchers to obtain NIH funded, mentored research career training. A brief overview of the K12 program will initially be provided (structure of the K12, eligible applicants, goals, etc). The panel will include a member from each of the six K12 award programs. Members from each program will provide a brief description of their respective programs. These presentations will highlight the strengths and unique attributes of each individual program, the types of candidates they are targeting, and the application process. Following the panel, interested individuals will be able to meet and discuss issues related to the K12 programs with members from each program (including current K12 scholars). Objectives: At the completion of this session, the participants should be able to: 1. Describe the goals of the NHLBI K12 program, 2. Define who the targeted applicants for the program are. 3.

The use of Social Media has become an important part of communication, and has assumed an increasing role in teaching and education. As utilization grows we have quickly gained some experience in approaches that have and have not been successful, although there is still a great deal to be learned. The best approaches have yet to be determined, but certain groups have found successful Social Media approaches in EM education. This didactic will review the use and development of Social Media through three successful approaches. The overall approach, specific techniques, and barriers to success will be discussed. Finally the discussion will focus on recommendations for the incorporation of Social Media tools for teaching and education.

Martin Makela MD вЂ“ submitter, presenter University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle, WA Quantifying the Worth of My Publications for Promotions and Grants: The h-Index, m-quotient, Eigenfactor, and Other Measures of Academic Currency DS074 вЂ“ International H Session Time: Saturday, May 18, 2013 11:00 - 11:50 am Publications and grant funding are the promotional currency of academia. These scholarly effort metrics are used to assess research performance, career planning, and grant funding, as well as promotions and tenure. Traditionally, promotions boards used the journal impact factor as estimates of relative value of an individual researcherвЂ™s advancement package. Recent advancements in technology have spurred new, more author-level specific measures to demonstrate the impact of publicationsвЂ™ impact within the scientific and academic community. These measures include the h-index, m-quotient, Eigenfactor, citation counts, co-authorship patterns, usage data, and research foci trends. The first 25-minute presentation will introduce metrics based on publication data while demonstrating how metrics are used to illustrate research impact from scholarly publications. This didactic will introduce attendees to electronic resources including the Web of ScienceВ® and SCOPUS which will be used to generate h-index, citation reports, global dissemination, and collaborative publishing reports and charts for individual researchers. The merits and disadvantages of each source of publication impact will be reviewed. The second presentation reviews two pragmatic applications for these impact metrics: promotions and grant applications. The general considerations of promotions boards regarding peer-reviewed publications will be summarized. Examples of annual academic portfolios that incorporate author-level publication impact metrics will be provided. In addition, a grant application incorporating measures of publication impact to emphasize expertise within a field will be highlighted. Objectives: At the completion of this session, participants should be able to: 1. Describe the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary measures that are increasingly being used to assess the worth of individual publications at the level of the author and the publication. 2. Find resources to generate their own measures of publication impact for grants or promotional packages. 3. Incorporate measures of publication impact into promotional packages or grants to demonstrate the strength of your application.

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI ACKNOWLEDGMENTS for Abstracts & Moderators I wanted to personally thank you for the significant time, effort, and resources you devoted to reviewing and moderating the many excellent abstracts submitted for the SAEM Annual Meeting this year. This was a record-breaking year for submissions in sheer numbers, so your service was appreciated more than ever. It is only through your efforts that the SAEM Annual Meeting continues to be the best peerreviewed forum for research in emergency medicine. The continued success of these important academic achievements depends on your continued enthusiasm in supporting the SAEM mission. Gratefully, Christopher Ross MD on behalf of Program Committee, SAEM Annual Meeting 2013 ** Applications for consideration to be an abstract reviewer are posted in the SAEM newsletter and in Academic Emergency Medicine summer issues. 78 Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Future SAEM Annual Meetings May 14-17, 2014 Sheraton Dallas Hotel Dallas, TX May 13-16, 2015 Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina San Diego, CA Late Breaker Abstracts # 3 Innovations Thursday, May 16 12:00 -1:00 pm in Atlanta H Competency in Chaos: A Novel Approach to Emergency Preparedness Training (EPT) suitable patients. Among adult patients, 44% were previously found to qualify for reverse triage, representing the greatest surge-bed source. Objectives: The primary objective is to discover the proportion of pediatric patients suitable for reverse triage. The secondary objective is to determine characteristics associated with reverse triage eligibility. Lancer A. Scott, Christopher Ashby Davis, Derrick Swartzenruber, Christina L. Bourne, Eric J. Larson, MUSC, Charleston, SC Providing comprehensive EPT for medical trainees is important to the future success of US emergency preparedness operations. Unfortunately, US medical schools have been slow to develop EPT curricula for medical students. In addition, few EPT training programs possess both competency-driven goals and metrics to measure performance during a simulated disaster. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review, by 3 trained reviewers, of pediatric inpatients on 3 general medical/surgical floors in the same tertiary academic hospital that participated in the adult study. Simulating a disaster, patients were deemed suitable for early discharge if they had no critical interventions (CI) over a 4-day period beginning with the first day of chart-review. Previously published CIs mandating continued admission were adapted for pediatric populations. Kappa statistic was calculated after 10% of charts were re-abstracted. When developing new EPT curriculum for patient care providers, it is important to consider that disasters are rare, complex events involving many patients and environmental factors often difficult to reproduce in a training environment. In addition, lengthy courses lasting several weeks are often unnecessary to achieve basic competencies. Results: Of 526 pediatric patients, 41% were black, 48% Caucasian, 46% female and 54% male. Mean age was 8.7 (В±6.2) years and the mean length of stay was 3.5 (В±4.5) days. The highest proportion of patients (45%) was admitted from the ED and 25% were elective admissions. There were 27 (5.1%) patients eligible for reverse discharge. Elective admission patients (RR 0.09) and older age (RR 0.93) are associated with lower eligibility for reverse triage in an adjusted multi-variable log binomial regression. Patients on nonsurgical services are more likely to be eligible for reverse triage (RR 2.75). Elective admission cancellation opens 25% of beds compared to reverse triageвЂ™s 5.1% and opening licensed bedsвЂ™ 2.7%. Kappa statistic was 0.96. We developed a 1-day, competency-based disaster course for patient care providers that recreate a multi-actor clinical disaster inside a humansimulation lab (see photo of lab). Our course enhanced provider knowledge, comfort level and disaster skill. Trainees were able to resuscitate twounstable simulated patients and prevent anthrax exposure to the hospital during a loud and chaotic disaster scenario. We believe ours is the first civilian curriculum in the US that combines high fidelity, multi-actor scenarios to measure the life-saving performance of patient care providers confronted with >10 patients at once. Conclusions: Unlike previous reports for adults, reverse triage at large academic centers for pediatrics may be an ineffectual strategy for increasing surge capacity. This question needs to be studied in the lower acuity community setting. We will showcase our innovative curriculum utilizing posters and digital video of our training sessions (available at www.musc.edu/chpter). We will also вЂ�stageвЂ™ components of our disaster small group and/or team exercises to demonstrate how faculty can introduce clinical disaster preparedness into existing curricula. The purpose of the demonstration is to show faculty that disaster preparedness competencies can be achieved quickly, with measurable results, without compromising existing curriculum schedules.

Dodd, B. Woodbury, A. Schick, A, Lila W. Steinberg, Max Fitzgerald, Ethan Forsgren, Johanna C. Moore, James Miner,. Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis, MN Background: Emergency Department patients presenting with Altered Mental Status (AMS) are at risk of nonconvulsive seizure (NCS). Our previous study revealed 78% EEG abnormalities including NCS (5%) in ED patients with AMS. Objective: To assess the impact of EEG on clinical management and outcomes of ED patients with AMS. Methods: Randomized controlled trial at two urban teaching hospitals. Inclusion: Adult patients (>18 years old) with AMS. Exclusion: immediately correctable cause of AMS (e.g. hypoglycemia), and admission before enrollment. Patients were randomized to routine care (control) or routine care plus EEG (intervention). Research assistants used a rapid (5-min) easy to apply scalp electrode set with a miniature, wireless EEG device (microEEG) to record a standard 30-min EEG from patients assigned to the intervention group upon presentation. The EEG results were reported to the ED attending by an off-site epileptologist within 30 minutes. No workup protocol was specified for either group. Primary outcomes: EEG results, change in ED management (differential diagnosis, diagnostic work-up, and treatment plan from enrollment to disposition). Secondary outcomes: length of ED and hospital stay, ICU requirement, and in-hospital mortality. The top 3 differential diagnoses were recorded with subjective probabilities (0-100%) by an ED attending at each time point. Statistical analysis: Data were reported as medians and quartiles or percentages with 95%CI. Groups were compared using FisherвЂ™s exact or Mann-Whitney tests. Changes in probability of differential diagnoses were compared using KolmogorovвЂ“Smirnov test. Results: 149 patients were enrolled (76 controls and 73 interventions). Patients in the two arms had comparable characteristics at baseline. EEG in the intervention arm revealed abnormal findings in 93% (85-97%) including NCS in 5% (2-13%). The impact of EEG on clinical management in the intervention arm is shown in the table. Changes in probabilities of top 3 differential diagnoses from initiation of enrollment till disposition were statistically significant (p=0.030) between the groups. Secondary outcomes did not differ significantly between groups. Conclusion: EEG can be obtained in the ED with minimal impact on resources and can significantly impact clinical management (diagnosis and treatment) of these patients. 80 Impact of EEG Upon receiving EEG result N (%, 95% CI) At final ED disposition N (%, 95% CI) Helped establish a diagnosis 41/73 (56%, 41 - 70%) 43/73 (59%, 47 - 69%) Changed overall diagnostic work up 36/73 (49%, 38 - 60%) Changed the overall treatment plan 31/73 (42%, 31 - 53%) Background: Patients with alcohol intoxication consume a significant amount of ED resources. However, the overall treatment needs in patients intoxicated with alcohol presenting to EDs is unknown. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of alcohol intoxication in the ED as well as the treatment needs of such patients. Methods: For this cross-sectional study, all patients presenting to the ED of an urban, Level 1 trauma center from 11/1/2012-11/30/2012 were prospectively screened by trained research associates. When an intoxicated patient was identified, study information including patient demographics, diagnoses, vital signs, blood alcohol concentration (BAC), GCS on arrival ABility to ambulate independently on arrival, use of physical or chemical restraint, previous ED visits, length of stay, and health insurance was collected. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: During the study period, 7106 patients presented to the ED and 6192 (87%) were screened by research assistants. Of those screened, 681 (11%) were eligible and 668 (11%) were enrolled. The median age was 45 (range 14-82, IQR 33-52). 455 (68%) arrived by EMS, 122 (18%) by police, and 46 (7%) were ambulatory. 141 (21%) had a systolic blood pressure <100 or >180, 145 (22%) had a heart rate >110 or <60, 30 (4%) had a respiratory rate <12 or >24. The median BAC was 0.240 (range 0.008-0.462, IQR 0.174-0.288). The median ED visits in the last year was 4 (range 1-85, IQR 1-12) and the median ED visits ever was 10 (range 1-213, IQR 2-35). The median ED length of stay was 467 minutes (range 28-1824, IQR 319-635). Health insurance was lacking in 135 (20%) patients, while 52 (8%) had private insurance, and 479 (72%) had public insurance. There were 122 (18.3%) patients that did not meet any of these criteria. Of 368 (55%) patients with agitation requiring restraints, 283 (77%) required chemical restraint, 276 (73%) required physical restraint, and 191 (52%) required both. In patientвЂ™s requiring chemical restraint, the most common medications were droperidol 182 (64%), olanzapine 102 (36%), and benzodiazepines 34 (12%). Conclusions: Of the patients screened during this study period, 11% were intoxicated with alcohol and 82% met criteria for needing ED care.

Shearer1. 1Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NYC, NY; 2SUNY Downstate College of Medicine, NYC, NY Background: Gender refers to the self-expression of identity that relates to masculinity, femininity and their various combinations. For individuals who identify as transgender (TG), or having a gender identity different from their assumed sex, presenting for health care requires finding nonjudgmental and supportive providers. This may take years and is not an option in emergency circumstances. Such emergency patients face an unsafe decision point: To be potentially maltreated versus the potential for serious health consequences, including death, of not seeking emergent medical treatment. Objective: Our aim is to determine if persons who identify as TG fail to present to emergency healthcare; furthermore, we want to know how those who do present as emergency department (ED) patients experience the healthcare they receive. We hypothesized that many TG persons do not present to EDs and those who do have poor experiences with the healthcare personnel. Methods: This observational study anonymously surveys TG patients, recruited from Facebook and a local health clinic that specifically aims to serve the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community. Selfidentified TG patients, who are English-speaking and older than 17years, are eligible to participate in the survey. The study began June 1, 2012, is ongoing. hypotension in the Emergency Department (ED). Over the past few years a number of goal-directed bedside US protocols have been developed for this purpose. Objectives: To identify the effect of using bedside US on the number of CT scans ordered by emergency physicians in the critically ill hypotensive patients. Methods: A prospective, observational study of a convenience sample of non-traumatic hypotensive patients who received the standard care plus a goal-directed US within the first hour of their presentation in an urban ED between 2008-2010. The treating physician completed a pre-US and post-US questionnaire that included the need for computer tomography (CT) of chest ABdomen or pelvis in the evaluation of the patient. The chart was reviewed for the results of the CT scans that were done. Results: A total number of 118 patients were included in the study. The number of CT scans that the physician decided to order pre and post preforming US was 47 and the number of CT scans that were eventually done was 69 of which 39.1% had a positive diagnostic finding. The number of CT scans that the physicians decided to cancel after preforming US was 13 and none of them had a missed finding that was identified during their hospital course. The number of CT scans that the physician decided to order after the bedside US is 13 of which 2 had a positive diagnostic finding. Conclusion: Preforming bedside goal directed US did not change the overall number of CT scans the emergency physician ordered for the critically ill hypotensive patients but it helped identify cases where preforming CT scan was crucial for accurate diagnosis. Results: 111 surveys have been completed. 75% of the participants surveyed noted that they had occasion to want to use an ED; of these, 90% sought emergency medical care. 29% of respondents reported a negative experience, 21% had a positive experience and 14% reported a mixed experience; 46% only described their chief complaint. With some participants having multiple suggestions for improvement in care, 56% recommended providers ask and use the patientвЂ™s preferred pronoun or name and 42% recommended providers only ask about or discuss TG status when it is relevant to the medical issue at hand. Conclusions: While it appears that most survey participants who thought they needed emergent medical care visited an ED, it is important to note that this sample is biased: Nearly 84% have at least graduated college and, as a convenience sample, many are already connected to healthcare. Still, more than a third of participants reported having at least one negative experience in the ED due to their TG identity. This data indicates the need for further research, particularly recruiting from a population that is not as well connected with the healthcare community. Also, ED providers should receive training on how to serve this patient population in a culturally sensitive manner. #605 Friday, May 17 8:00 вЂ“ 12:00 pm in 200 Gallery вЂ“ Level 6 The use of bedside ultrasound in critically ill patient influences utilization of CT scans in the emergency department Hamid Shokoohi, Keith Boniface, Ali Pourmand, Yiju Teresa Liu, Melissa McCarthy, Kabir Yadav, Rasha Buhumaid, Mohammad Salimian.
