Welcome to Atlanta for the 2013 SAEM Annual Meeting!
How does one begin to summarize such a spectacular meeting? This year represented the largest submission of didactics, abstracts,
and innovations ever for the annual meeting. In order to showcase these spectacular submissions, your Program Committee has
scheduled the most didactics, abstracts, and innovations in the history of SAEM. We were able to secure a wonderful keynote speaker,
Dr. Thomas Frieden, Director of the CDC, as one of the highlights of the meeting. This keynote address will occur on Thursday, May 16,
from 2:00 - 3:00 pm, just prior to the Plenary Session from 3:30 - 5:00 pm. This year we also decided to recognize the best abstract
submissions to the meeting by showcasing them in the “Gallery of Excellence.” This extravaganza will run concurrently with the opening
reception, also on Thursday, May 16, and our hope is that you will be able to browse through the offerings and enjoy the quality of the
abstracts whilst enjoying the company of colleagues and friends. This year’s Consensus Conference, “Global Health and Emergency
Care: A Research Agenda,” will focus on emergency medicine on a global scale. Our specialty is expanding worldwide with a phenomenal
trajectory, so be sure to register to participate and contribute to the ongoing development of emergency medicine on an international
scale. The perennial favorites SIM Wars and SonoGames™ are back, so feel free to come and cheer on the teams as they aim for
SAEM glory as victors of the games. Senior and Junior Faculty Development Forums, Resident Leadership Forum, Medical Student
Symposium, Residency and Fellowship Fair…the list goes on! Worried about missing important parts of the meeting? Don’t. This year’s
digital and social media will keep you up and running. With your own personal planner available on the website, the mobile app, email
updates, Twitter feeds, Facebook updates, and message boards, you will be able to keep it all straight and enjoy everything SAEM has
to offer.
This year’s meeting should meet the needs of everyone in the emergency department, from medical student to seasoned veteran.
This meeting is a dynamic forum for educators, researchers, policy makers, and administrators to exhibit the very best of the specialty.
It will provide you with opportunities to learn something new, develop new ideas, improve your patient care, network with a colleague,
and most importantly, pause to appreciate what we as a specialty have achieved and inspired.

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:
• Describe best practices for what constitutes a good handoff.
• Define best practices for safe, complete resident handoffs.
• Describe best practices for effective feedback to residents after
handoffs have occurred.

Exhibit/Visual Diagnosis Contest
Please join us for our annual exhibition of outstanding medical
photographic images, which will be on display throughout
the duration of our Annual Meeting in the main poster hall.
The images will be presented initially as case unknowns, with
challenging questions to answer for the viewer’s interest. If
desired, residents and medical students may enter answer
sheets for a contest that will reward the highest scoring entrant
in each category with a copy of the textbook, The Atlas of
Emergency Medicine, featuring over 1,500 high-quality medical
images. Entries for the contest will be accepted from May 15
at 8:00 am to May 16 at 4:00 pm, when the contest officially
closes. At this time, all answers for the case unknowns will be
posted alongside the images. Additionally, we will offer teaching
rounds for anyone interested, and our faculty volunteers will
“round” on the cases with participants at 4:00 pm on May 16,
9:00 am on May 17, and 3:00 pm on May 17, teaching on the
cases and answering questions along the way. We look forward
to seeing you at the exhibit this year!

Our Mission
•To promote equal access to
quality healthcare and the
elimination of disparities in
treatment and outcomes for
all groups regardless of race,
sexual orientation, disability,
or socioeconomic status
through education and
research
•To enhance the retention and
promotion of those historically
underrepresented in
medicine and to create an
inclusive environment for the
training of emergency
medicine providers;
specifically using the AAMC’s
guide “to unite expertise,
experience, and innovation to
inform and guide the
advancement of diversity and
inclusion in emergency
medicine”
•To enhance the professional
development of all EM faculty
and residents with respect to
culturally competent medical
care
Why is ADIEM important?
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 ADIEM’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
ADIEM’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 “Barriers to the Emergency
Department Utilization of Interpreter Services”
and “Cultural Competencies in Emergency
Medicine: Caring for Muslim-American
Patients from the Middle East.”
Each year, we also honor and celebrate
SAEM members in several award categories.
This year’s winners are:
ADIEM Events at SAEM

Lastly, another activity on the horizon in which several
ADIEM members participate is the upcoming conference
of the National Medical Association Section of
Emergency Medicine. 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
year’s focus on the obesity epidemic and how
emergency providers can be part of the solution. Visit
www.nmanet.org for more information.
Thank you for your commitment to and engagement in the
topics of diversity and inclusion in Emergency Medicine.
Sincerely,
Sheryl Heron, MD, MPH

EMRA BOD Meeting Society for Academic Emergency Medicine
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
couldn’t have picked a better place for our 2013 Annual Meeting than the
Peach State, and ‘Hot-lanta’, 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 haven’t even talked about the conference yet! Now,
let’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 (“How to Become a Trailblazer: Perspectives from
Resident Innovators” 3:00 pm.) If you are already thinking about what to
do after residency, check out some of the fellowship-focused sessions –
from critical care (“The Current State of Critical Care Training” 10:00 am)
to EMS (“Advances in EMS Education” 11:00 am) to wilderness medicine
(“Thriving in the Wilderness” 1:00 pm), there is something for every
interest.
Here’s hoping your after-hours activities on Day 1 didn’t run too late,
as the session “Choosing a High-Impact Quality Improvement Project as
a Resident or Student AND Getting it Published” 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, “Challenging the PhysicianPatient Relationship: Negotiating Deception, Manipulation and Medical
Mistakes” will deal with some controversial and hard-hitting topics we
will all face during our careers. And of course, don’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. Let’s start
with the sessions on Friday, May 17. Though we all like to sleep in to
some degree, “Diagnostic Imaging and Radiation Exposure: How Much
is too Much?” 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 “Policy Change 101: A How-To
Primer for the Emergency Physician” 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, “Presentation Design: An
Evidence-Based Approach” 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 someone’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!

The Role of Electroencephalography and of Reduced Lead EEG in
the Emergency Department.
DS001 – 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.

How to Effectively Supervise and Teach Residents: Entrustment
and Autonomy
DS002 – Peachtree C
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 participant’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.

In the Middle: Non-Physician Providers in the Emergency Department
DS003 – Peachtree D
34
There are an increasing number of non-physician providers (NPs and PAs)
working in academic and community emergency medicine departments. 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.
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.

ED-based Critical Care Resident Rotations &
Experiences as Opportunities for Teaching
Critical Care in the Emergency Department
Critical Care has long been a major part of Emergency Medicine. For the most
part clinical critical care has been taught by inpatient intensivists on inpatient
ICU’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

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 panelist’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.

Not Another Boring Lecture: Five Ways to Spice Up Your
Didactics!
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 Mayer’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.
1. Recognize examples of less effective instruction
2. Demonstrate a basic understanding of modern learning theories and their role
in instructional design
3. E

Impact of the 2010 AHA Post-Cardiac Arrest Care Guidelines:
Assessing Knowledge Translation & Implementation
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.
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. I dentify future research directions within cardiac resuscitation

Introduction to Statistics
To succeed in research and academia, a fundamental knowledge of important
statistical concepts is a necessity. 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

The Current State of Critical Care Fellowship Training for
Emergency Medicine Residency Graduates
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
EP’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

Fulfilling the Residency Educational Mission at Independent
Academic Medical Centers
Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 10 - 10:50 am
Independent academic medical centers represent an important setting for the
training of emergency physicians. 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.
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. List ways to mitigate these challenges to advance the educational mission of
residencies in independent academic hospitals.

Systems Milestones for Academic Programs: Moving from
Novice to Expert
The Next Accreditation System (NAS) is based in the Dreyfus Model of individual
milestone development from novice to expert. 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 Dreyfus’ Model, work in small groups to
develop a strategy that fits within the context of their institution’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).
1. Describe the Dreyfus Model of novice, beginner, competent, proficient, and
expert through the domains of autonomy, context, and complexity
2. Reflect on systems milestones needed to develop expert programs
3. Design a 10-point blueprint for system expertise to bring back to participants’
local programs

Team Science in Research: What is the Role of
Emergency Medicine?
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.
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.

Advances in EMS Education for Residents
The American Board of Medical Specialties recently established Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) as a sub-specialty of Emergency Medicine, recognizing
that EMS comprises a distinct practice and fund of knowledge. 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
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
Group’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 force’s final report.
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.

The Nonquantitative Aspect of Resident Training in the
Community ED
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.

Thriving in the Wilderness: What Wilderness Medicine
Fellowship Applicants and Directors Need to Know
Session Time: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 1:00 - 1:50 pm
Wilderness Medicine Fellowships are an increasingly popular means of gaining
sub-specialty training in the provision of resource-limited medical care under
austere conditions. Wilderness Medicine Fellows are trained through clinical
and scholarly work at the nation’s major medical centers and in the planet’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 applicant’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.

Taking Advantage of the Teachable Moment: A Workshop for
Efficient, Learner-Centered Clinical Teaching
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.
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

Investigator-Initiated Research Without an Existing Research
Infrastructure: How to Succeed in Any Practice Setting
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
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.

Asking the Question that Clinicians Want Answered Within an
Adaptive Comparative Effectiveness Trial
Our discussion of adaptive clinical trials will focus on a very specific class of
flexible designs. 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 – 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.

From the Bleachers to the Sidelines: Careers and Opportunities
in Sports Medicine
Primary care sports medicine has traditionally been practiced by family medicine
physicians, internists, and pediatricians, but the subspecialty has seen growth in
emergency medicine in recent years as well. 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 NFL’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).
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.

Creating a Successful Research Assistant Program in your
Emergency Department
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.

Real Strategies for Quasi-Experiments:
How to Identify Causation Using Non-Randomized Data
Many EM researchers are interested in determining whether an intervention
(any event impacting subjects) has an effect on practice or patient outcomes.
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.
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.

Is the Patient Safe? Assessing Procedural Competence
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.
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. D
evelop a plan to implement an assessment of procedural skills
in a variety of scenarios

How to Become a Trailblazer: Perspectives of Resident Innovators
This novel session will be a moderated panel discussion including junior and senior
faculty. 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
– 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 program’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 areas’ of
expertise: curricular reform, post-residency education and national committee
involvement. Dr. Marie Vrablik will serve as the session moderator.
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 panelists’ experiences.

The Business of EM: Defining Productivity
As EM physicians we are expected to perform a myriad of duties---the sum of
which is meant to define us within the context of an EM department. 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 someone’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 one’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.
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.

An Introduction to Qualitative Methods
in Emergency Medicine Research
Qualitative research seeks to develop concepts to better understand complex
social phenomena in natural settings. 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 participants’ 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 patients’ 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.

LGBT Health: Educating EM Physicians to
Provide Equitable and Quality Care
DS026 – International B
Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 8:00 - 8:50 am
In March 2011, the Institute of Medicine published a landmark report, The Health
of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People: Building a Foundation for
Better Understanding. 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. Describe Public Health implications
for LGBT Health

Future Directions in Electrocardiography in
Acute Coronary Syndromes
DS027 – International C
The electrocardiogram is the initial test in patients with suspected ACS and the
defining element of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). 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.
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.

Choosing a High-Impact Resident or Student Quality
Improvement Project and Getting it Published
DS028 – Plaza Ballroom A
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 resident’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 participants’ 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.
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.

Careers & Opportunities at the CDC
DS029 – Plaza Ballroom B
Many of our members entered emergency medicine because they wanted to
help people, make a difference or be on the front lines of healthcare. 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.
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.

Disparities & Diversity in Emergency Medicine: SAEM: Where
are we now?
It will be 10 years since publication of the Academic Emergency Medicine’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, SAEM’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 SAEM’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 SAEM’s mission to develop didactic,
educational, research and other programs to assist academic emergency
medicine departments to improve diversity at their institutions.

Harnessing the Emergency Medicine Perspective: Emphasizing
Key Differences between Adult and Pediatric Chief Complaints
to Enhance Resident Training in Pediatric Emergency Medicine
General emergency physicians (EP) face the challenges of providing high quality
care for patients of all ages. 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 EP’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 EP’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.

The Inside Scoop: Background Information and Tips On Using
The Large National Datasets Provided by NCHS and HCUP,
Including NHAMCS and NEDS
The CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and AHRQ’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.
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 War On Mrsa: Lessons for Success in Planning, Funding,
and Executing Clinical Research in Infectious Diseases
Emergency medicine researchers start out with a general area of interest.
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.
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.

Navigating the AMA Discharge: Case Studies
Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 10 - 11:20 am
This case-based interactive panel session will present actual cases of AMA
discharges followed by discussion and expert commentary from the panelists.
The discussion will clarify the most commonly encountered problematic aspects
of the AMA discharge and specifically address ethical and legal considerations
confronted by emergency physicians in practice. Specific topics to be covered
include: 1) What ethical and legal obligations does the emergency physician have
for these patients after an AMA discharge? 2) What are the nuts and bolts of the
AMA process? 3) What are the benefits and drawbacks to the commonly used
AMA forms? Does the signing of AMA forms lead to more or less risk and should
they be used? 4) When is a psychiatric evaluation of capacity required? 5) Does the
AMA discharge effectively relieve the EP from liability? 6) Are there populations
that are unsuitable for AMA discharge? 7) Is there evidence that AMA discharges
lead to preventable morbidity and mortality?
1. Recognize the unique challenges inherent in the AMA discharge.
2. Describe best practices for navigating ethically and legally sound care to this
population and for teaching this topic to residents and junior faculty.
3. List ethical and legal pearls and pitfalls in the AMA process.

The Great Pediatric Sedation Debate!
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 audience’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 audience’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.
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. Identify limitations in the current pediatric sedation
literature that may result in future study.

Minimizing the Pain of Maximizing Pain Relief: Strategies For
Emergency Physicians To Treat Pain Safely
Opioid analgesics are important therapeutics in patient care but are burdened
by misuse and an ongoing public health crisis. 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.
1. Describe the scope of prescription opioid misuse and the need for increased
scrutiny in ED opioid prescribing.
2. Convey pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic strategies to limit opioid
prescribing while maintaining patient centered care and satisfaction.
3. Summarize the current evidence supporting the use of PDMPs to identify
patients at risk for aberrant drug use and areas for future collaborative
research.

Can we Trust Clinical Practice Guidelines?
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 ILCOR’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.
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.

Challenging the Physician-Patient Relationship: Negotiating
Deception, Manipulation, and Medical Mistakes
Session Time: Thursday, May 16, 2013 11:30 - 12:50 pm
The course will be based on the recently approved Ethics Curriculum produced
by the SAEM Ethics Committee, and approved by the SAEM Board of Directors.
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.
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. List the potential barriers to maintaining privacy in the emergency department.
5. Discuss the ethical handling of medical errors and the arguments for and against
full disclosure of errors in the emergency department.

We All Make Mistakes. But What Do You Do Afterwards?
You’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 don’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 – 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.
1. Describe the pitfalls of the traditional response to crisis – 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

Building Blocks for Establishing Hospital-based Violence
Intervention Programs in (Your) Emergency Departments
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 Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime (VOC) responded to an
American Academy of Pediatrics’ report on youth violence and recommended that
hospital-based counseling and prevention programs be established in medical
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.
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. Discuss how cross-site evaluations can be performed.

Optimizing Electronic Health Records in an
Academic Emergency Department:
The Administrative and Informatics Perspective
Whether an academic emergency department (ED) is still on paper or has an EDonly electronic health record (EHR), sooner or later, we will all be using an electronic
health record system. 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.
1. Discuss the current environment of ED-only vs. hospital-wide EHRs and the
pros and cons of each type.
2. D
escribe the steps needed for successful EHR optimization, and use EHRs to
optimize how an academic ED runs.
3. U
se an EHR to provide meaningful data, both in real-time and for longitudinal
analysis.
4. D

Diagnostic Imaging and Radiation Exposure:
How Much is Too Much?
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.
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. Describe strategies to minimize radiation dosing that can be discussed with
your home institution’s radiology department.

Preventing Opioid Analgesic Overdose Among ED Patients
Many ED patients have legitimate needs for opioid analgesics for pain control, yet
mortality among inpatients from therapeutic opioid analgesic administration is
increasing. 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).
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.

Informed Consent in Emergency Research: Pitfalls and Practical
Pearls.
DS044 – International D
Emergency clinical research, through design or execution, ideally should involve
situations or populations that may be challenging to include. In particular, consent
of subjects considered vulnerable based on their condition or situation may be
especially challenging. This panel session will discuss the recruitment and consent
of difficult populations including those from institutional settings, those with
cognitive impairment, and those facing life-threatening conditions. The speakers
will discuss frequently encountered barriers to consent and recruitment and
practical methods of overcoming these obstacles in multiple settings.
1. Discuss challenges to recruitment and consent for institutionalized populations
and learn strategies to overcome these challenges.
2. List practical ways to overcome obstacles specific to performing ED research in
cognitively impaired elders, particularly obtaining consent.
3. Describe criteria for seeking an exception from informed consent for emergency
research on life-threatening conditions and responsibilities of investigators
who conduct such studies.

Educational Portfolio: Your Secret Weapon for Promotion
DS045 – International E-F
Promotion within an institution can be challenging for someone with an
educational focus. 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.
1. Discuss the basic concept and philosophy of an educational portfolio
2. List the components of an educational portfolio
3. Describe how to use the educational portfolio to support promotion and tenure
decisions

Mapping the Path for Current and Future Research for Safe,
Effective, and Appropriate Trauma Imaging
During the past decade there has been a trend toward earlier identification of all
injuries in the initial assessment of a trauma patient. 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.
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. Define an emergency medicine-based trauma imaging research roadmap and
the next steps needed to make progress

Identifying the Value of Emergency Care in the
Climate of Health Reform
‘Value’ has become a buzzword in health policy circles. 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 care—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.

Good to Great: Effective Feedback to Learners with Difficulties
Rationale: This workshop builds upon previous workshops to look at the advanced
skill of providing feedback to learners with difficulty. 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 receiver’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
45
participants to understand the challenges and develop effective practice. The
workshop will utilize large and small group exercises to understand key concepts
and develop ways to improve each participant’s feedback skills. Additional
facilitators include: Ester Choo MD MPH, Robin Hemphill MD MPH, Josh Kornegay
MD, John Martel MD, PhD
1. Develop a plan to incorporate evidence from the feedback literature into their
clinical teaching practice
2. Outline steps required to provide effective feedback given the new conceptual
framework
3. Apply principles of feedback specific to the problem resident

Models of Subspecialty Geriatric Emergency Departments
Geriatric patients are considered vulnerable and have the potential to raise
complex challenges in emergency treatment. 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.
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. L
ist potential changes within your own emergency department for optimal care
of the geriatric patient.

Where is the Evidence III: Common Pediatric Infections in
Emergency Medicine
Pediatric emergency visits are for suspected infectious diseases and very
common; fortunately, most are benign in their pathogenesis and self-limited,
such as common on upper respiratory infections. 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.
1. Describe the epidemiology and diagnostic evaluation for skin infections,
pneumonia, and urinary tract infections in children.
2. Form evidence-based management strategies for pediatric skin infections,
pneumonia, and urinary tract infections evaluated in the ED setting.

Life and A Career in Global Health: Can You Have It All?
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.
1. Describe the breadth of global health career choices.
2. Navigate their career choices depending on their personal and professional
priorities.

Policy Change 101: A How-to Primer for Emergency Physicians
With the passing of the PPACA in 2010, it is imperative for emergency physicians to
have the skills to educate policymakers about our hospitals, our patients, and our
specialty. 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. We will
then provide an overview of essential skills and communication that academic
emergency physicians must know to engage in the policy process. Finally, the
session will offer a few specific examples of academic emergency medicinerelated policy successes. 1) Importance of the policy process for academic
emergency medicine (5 minutes) 2)Discussion of critical policy skills (25 minutes,
Sara Patterson) SP will describe key areas of the policy process: policy briefing vs.
analysis, policy implementation, policy promotion, and evaluation strategies. She
will then provide a focused overview of critical education and advocacy skills for
academic emergency physicians. 3) Examples of successful advocacy (30 minutes,
Art Kellerman) AK will discuss his experiences and challenges with health policy
and advocacy on national, state, and institutional policy levels. 4) Participant
round table breakout sessions with policy experts (20 minutes, 6 facilitators).
1. Describe the importance of engaging in the policy process for the specialty of
emergency medicine
2. Describe the key aspects of the Policy Process
3. Identify the key components of educating policymakers
4. Develop an effective strategy for a research, safety, or practice-related issue
that is important to academic EM

Emergency Department Evaluation and Management of
Pediatric Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Inauguration of the NIH Office of Emergency Care Research
Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a disruption in normal brain
function caused by the impact of biomechanical forces on the head or the body.
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.
1. Describe the principles of diagnosis and management of pediatric concussion.

The Top 10 Global Emergency Medicine Articles from 2012:
Highlights from the Global Emergency Medicine Literature
Review
The Global Emergency Medicine Literature Review (GEMLR) was developed in
2005 to help EM providers navigate the growing abundance of Global EM literature.
Now in its eighth year, the GEMLR highlights and disseminates high-quality Global
Emergency Medicine research for use by both academics and practitioners in
the field. Each year, the GEMLR conducts a search of the Global EM literature,
producing about 7,000 articles from the published and grey literature. Our team
of 30 reviewers and editors then screen and score the articles using established
criteria to select those that are both high-quality and directly relevant to the
field of Global EM. The top articles selected each year by the GEMLR represent
a sample of the best research from around the world related to the bourgeoning
field of Global EM. In this didactic, we will highlight the ten original research and
review articles from 2012 that we believe will have the greatest impact on the
practice of Global Emergency Medicine while also stimulating future research in
this arena. For each article, we will not only summarize and critique its methods
Session Time: Friday, May 17, 2013 1:00 - 2:20 pm
This session will highlight the leadership of the NIH OECR, the NIH Emergency
Care Research Working Group, (which includes representatives from most
NIH institutes and centers) which oversees the OECR and the scientific and
administrative support group at the National Institute of General Medical Sciences
(NIGMS) which houses the OECR . The panel will provide input on the development,
design, priorities and function of the OECR. The NIH OECR leadership perspective
(30 minutes) will be given by Dr. Walter Koroshetz from NINDS, Acting Director of
the NIH OECR and Dr. Alice Maschette (Associate Director of NIH OECR). The NIH

Pediatric Airway Management in the 21st Century: Muddling to
Mastery
Intubation in a small child is a low-volume, high-risk procedure and even a seasoned
Pediatric Emergency Medicine Attending will feel their pulse quicken when faced
with a challenging airway scenario in a small child. Pediatric airway management
is evolving rapidly with the advent of videolaryngoscopy and alternative airway
techniques coupled with research questioning some of the long-held basic tenets
of rapid-sequence intubation. In this session, 3 Pediatric Emergency physicians
from varied backgrounds (one Emergency Medicine-residency trained, one
Pediatric-residency trained and one dual-trained in Pediatric Emergency Medicine
and Pediatric Critical Care) will dissect the current state of the art in Pediatric
Airway Management with a focus on new techniques, the teaching of trainees
using simulation and current areas of controversy including ketamine in head
trauma and the use of atropine during RSI.
1. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of videolaryngoscopy for pediatric
airway management based on current literature.
2. Explain the controversies over the use of etomidate and ketamine for induction
in pediatric RSI.

Controversies in Emergency Ultrasound: The Debate Rages On
This session will feature a debate-style format with discussants utilizing an
evidence-based approach to dispute two controversial topics in emergency
ultrasound. First, should tele-sonography be employed in the clinical arena and
in what settings? Tele-sonography is the digital storage and transmission of
ultrasound images and video for either education and training or clinical use. The
role of Emergency Physicians in developing tele-sonography programs will be
discussed as well as issues related to implementation including synchronous vs.
asynchronous data transmission, image quality, appropriate clinical applications,
remote training, and technical and non-technical barriers to program development.
Second, what is the appropriate utilization of the FAST examination in trauma
patients? Discussants will review and debate issues related to the use of FAST in
blunt/penetrating trauma patients, non-operative trauma management, cardiac
imaging as a view in the FAST, limitations of the FAST, as well as outcomes data.
Objectives: At the completion of this session participants should be able to
describe these cutting edge and controversial issues in Emergency Ultrasound:
the utilization of tele-sonography around the globe the use of FAST exam in
trauma patients.

Resident Education in Ultrasound: Meeting the Milestone
The Emergency Medicine Resident Review Committee of the ACGME in
conjunction with CORD ABEM, and other organizations in 2012 released the
Milestones in Emergency Medicine. Specifically PC12 addresses the education
48
of EM residents in the use and integration of point of care ultrasound. Residency
programs will be responsible for meeting the implementation and assessment
of residents with regard to the Milestones. Not all programs have ultrasound
directors to implement and assess the milestones for their residents. This
didactic session will discuss a model curriculum for resident education in point
of care ultrasound, minimum elements to meet the EM Milestones, and methods
of assessments. The discussion will provide a framework and information that
can utilized by programs with and without an ultrasound director. The discussion
will highlight consensus work done through SAEM and CORD about ultrasound
education to meet the Milestone requirements.
1. Detail and specify a model curriculum design and resident rotation for
emergency ultrasound
2. Describe minimum standards that should be accomplished at every EM
residency program.
3. Detail an updated standardized model ultrasound education curriculum for
emergency medicine residents
4. Describe competency assessment tools for the novice and advanced resident
sonographer, which complement the milestones with a focus on simulation,
blended and ultrasound-based learning.

Motivating Success: Conducting High Quality Behavioral
Interventions for Addiction in ED patients:
Lessons Learned from the SMART-ED Multisite Trial.
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 ‘less-than-ideal’ 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 ‘less-than-ideal’ 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.
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.

The Hidden Science in Your Emergency Medicine Research:
Gender-Specific Study Design and Analysis
There is now clear evidence that gender plays a key role in health and disease
at a biological level and can significantly impact patient outcomes. 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.
1. Describe basic approaches that enable the study of the impact of gender on
clinical outcomes.
2. D
etail the scientific approaches to research on diagnostic testing in cardiovascular
disease and use of female hormone therapy for traumatic brain injury

Presentation Design: An Evidence-based Approach To Creating
Impactful, Effective Visual Aids
DS062 – International G
The ability to give effective presentations is a critical skill for educators. 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 educators’ 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.
1. Review Mayer’s principles of multimedia design
2. Review Kosslyn’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.

SAEM AND EMF Grants: Opportunities and Submission Process
The SAEM Foundation and ACEP’s Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) provide
a variety of emergency medicine grants. 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 foundation’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.
1. Describe the types of grants offered by SAEM and EMF
2. S
ummarize the keys to successfully applying for such a grant.

Deliberate Practice: A Learning Technique That Improves
Mastery, Execution, and Retention of Medical Knowledge
The concept of deliberate practice, first described in 1993 by Ericsson et al, has
gained traction in medical education as it did before in sport, music, chess, and
economics as a way to define the process of obtaining expert performance. 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.
1. Define the process of deliberate practice
2. Incorporate deliberate practice methods into the educational curriculum for
trainees and individual educational goals.

Top 5 Plays of the Day: How Gender-Specific Medicine
Impacts Men’s Health
Gender-specific medicine is not the same as women’s health. 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.
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 men’s health.
1. Describe concrete examples of physiologic gender differences with significant
implications for men’s health.
2. Discuss examples of a gender-specific approach to crucial emergency medicine
topics of cardiology, neurology, sports medicine, sepsis and trauma.
3. Describe the top gender-specific EM articles for 2012-2013 and how they relate
to the clinical practice of EM.

Enhancing the Quality And Transparency Of Health Research:
An Introduction to the EQUATOR Network and Implications for
Emergency Medicine
Session Time: Saturday, May 18, 2013 10 - 10:50 am
Using didactic presentations this session will provide attendees with accessible
resources to guide the design, conduct, and reporting of emergency medicine
research. 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.
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.

Peer Mentoring: Enhancing Academic & Research Mentoring
The rationale and need for mentors is a recognized part of a successful
academic career. 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.
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. Apply the evidence to develop a peer mentoring model in their own setting

DS070 – International H
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 participant’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. Additional
facilitators: Emily Senecal MD and Suzanne Dooley-Hash MD and James Takayesu
MD, Joe House MD

NHLBI K12 Research Career Development Programs in
Emergency Medicine Research
In July 2011 the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) funded
six institutional research career development (K12) awards to promote
multidisciplinary clinical research training programs in emergency medicine.
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. Describe the application process and characteristics of each of the six K12
programs.

Superstars of Social Media: How to Incorporate Social Media
Into Teaching and Education
The internet has become a ubiquitous presence in Medicine and Academics. 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. A video conference preview of the lecture will be posted
at Academic Emergency Medicine and on SAEM Facebook page several weeks
before the Annual Meeting in order to encourage electronic discussion of the
topic prior to the meeting. Information and important points will be broadcast via
Twitter with the hash tag #SAEM13 by the moderator during the presentation.
1. Describe Social Media tools and their basic use.
2. Discuss the role of Social Media in education.
3. Provide recommendations for online engagement with learners.
4. Review current approaches in Social Media and discuss future directions.

Quantifying the Worth of My Publications for Promotions
and Grants: The h-Index, m-quotient, Eigenfactor, and Other
Measures of Academic Currency
DS074 – International H
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 researcher’s advancement package. Recent advancements
in technology have spurred new, more author-level specific measures to
demonstrate the impact of publications’ 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 Science® 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.
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.

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.

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 (±6.2) years and the mean
length of stay was 3.5 (±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 triage’s 5.1% and opening
licensed beds’ 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 ‘stage’ 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.

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 Fisher’s exact or Mann-Whitney tests. Changes in probability of
differential diagnoses were compared using Kolmogorov–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.

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 patient’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.

It Matters More Than You Think It Does Makini Chisolm-Straker1, Logan Jardine2, Peter L. Shearer1. 1Mount Sinai

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 patient’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.

The Department of Emergency Medicine at University of Kentucky College of Medicine is recruiting full-time faculty members
at the assistant or associate professor level. The desired individual must be BP/BC in emergency medicine. Academic

The Department of Emergency Medicine benefits from excellent institutional support from both a financial and facility
standpoint. Resident physicians learn the practice of emergency medicine from engaged and supportive faculty in a stateof-the-art 40,000 square-foot facility (adult and pediatric EDs are contiguous), which opened in July 2010 and now has
an annual census of over 65,000 patients. The University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center is an ACS certified adult
and pediatric Level I Trauma Center located in Lexington, in the heart of the “bluegrass” region of the state. Lexington is
one of the best small to medium sized cities in America because of the climate, the cost of living, safety and the atmosphere
of living in a “college town.”
If you are interested in learning more about this outstanding opportunity, please contact Roger Humphries, MD, Chair,
Department of Emergency Medicine, UK College of Medicine, Room M-53, Williard Medical Sciences Building, 800 Rose
