HILTON AUSTINAUSTIN, TX

BB2 – 10:55-11:25am

Keynote Speaker Simon Carley Professor Simon Carley is a consultant in emergency medicine. He works in adult and pediatric emergency medicine at one of the busiest departments in the United Kingdom. He has published over 100 academic papers and has an ever-evolving interest in research and education. He wears many metaphorical hats, but at the heart of everything, he is a full time NHS consultant. In addition to his day job, he is an associate editor of the Emergency Medicine Journal, an education associate of the General Medical Council, a co-lead to the MSc in emergency medicine at Manchester Metropolitan University, and he is also the director of medical education at one of the largest teaching trusts in the United Kingdom. His research interests lie in emergency diagnostics, major incident planning, education, and social media. In education he co-developed a number of websites including Bestbets, the virtual hospital at St.Emlyn’s, the St.Emlyn’s blog and more recently the St.Emlyn’s podcast. He just wants to help people learn, for free, for fun, and for the benefit of patients. For reasons that are somewhat unclear to him, he seems to be speaking at quite a few conferences of late. He attributes this to trying to keep up with the rather amazing presentation skills of his St.Emlyn’s collaborators who frequently surpass and innovate anything he can achieve. Despite being quite busy at work he spends a lot of time watching field hockey, cycling, and generally keeping up with the rest of the family. He did not want to be a doctor, but failed to achieve as a flautist.

Disclosure Policy Faculty and planning committee members participating in continuing medical education programs sponsored by AAEM have disclosed to the audience any real or apparent conflicts of interest to the content of their presentation. AAEM’s Education Committee and ACCME Subcommittee have established procedures to resolve conflicts of interest.

Educational Needs In order to maintain their medical practice at the highest possible level, emergency physicians need up to date information on a variety of topics in emergency medicine, including both clinical and workplace issues. This conference will meet those needs by providing cutting edge information in several relevant areas. AAEM frequently polls its members for potential topics to be covered. A majority of the topics for 2015 were selected specifically on recommendation of a member. When planning activities, the AAEM Education Committee uses the 2013 Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine to determine the education needs of the emergency physicians attending Scientific Assembly. The Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine details the core content of emergency medicine and undergoes an on-going review.

Target Audience This activity is designed for providers engaged in the practice of emergency medicine who are seeking the most current information in the field. The information is presented at a skill level appropriate to the educational needs of the emergency physician.

Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to apply new principles to improve their everyday practice of emergency medicine and to increase their understanding of the emergency medicine workplace.

SC Medical Books

Questcare was founded in 1996 when a single-hospital physicianowned group assumed responsibility for 14 emergency departments in north Texas. Insistence on delivering quality patient care in an environment that supported the physician’s needs created the high standards upon which Questcare was founded. On February 18, 2005, fifty-one of the full-time employed physicians of Questcare purchased Questcare Medical Services, P.A. Since that date, Questcare has been known by the assumed name “Questcare Partners” a truly democratic emergency medicine group characterized by a one-member/one-vote policy. Questcare’s board of directors and the elected officers now consist entirely of members of its full-time physician staff.
