MEMC-GREAT 2015 JOINT CONGRESSES • SEPTEMBER 5-9, 2015 • ERGIFE PALACE HOTEL-ROME

Presidents’ Message Dear Delegates, It is with great excitement that we welcome you to the Eighth Mediterranean Emergency Medicine Congress – Sixth Italian GREAT Network Congress (MEMC-GREAT 2015), in the city of Rome, Italy. The MEMC-GREAT Italy 2015 represents a new collaboration between the Mediterranean Academy of Emergency Medicine (MAEM), the Global Research on Acute Conditions Team (GREAT Italy) and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM), to enhance and continue the MEMC & GREAT Italy traditions and enhance their education and research mission. The prior MEMC Congresses in Stresa, Italy (2001); Sitges, Spain (2003); Nice, France (2005); Sorrento, Italy (2007); Valencia, Spain (2009); Kos, Greece (2011) and Marseille, France (2013) had unqualified successes — which turned early on the MEMC into international tradition — in early September of every odd year. The main objective of MEMC is to develop emergency medicine across the Mediterranean basin by supporting EM pioneers and leaders around the whole Mediterranean basin, endorsing proper standards, providing training and education in emergency medicine, as well as promoting proper access and services for all our emergency patients around the “Big Blue.” The establishment of the Mediterranean Academy of Emergency Medicine (MAEM) is an important milestone in the global development of emergency medicine in this historic region. In 2015, MAEM is stepping in to host and share in the planning and execution of the MEMC-GREAT 2015. Through new collaborative efforts with international and regional societies, MAEM will continue to promote academic and scientific exchange around the globe and not only the Mediterranean. While much focus in the Mediterranean has been in Europe, it is less than half of the Mediterranean basin. Since 1999, our specialty has been developing along the eastern and southern boundaries as well as across the culturally associated Middle East and the Arab World. In Turkey, we have witnessed a historically exceptional success in the growth of EM residency programs, and the development of our specialty – with more EM programs than any nation around the Mediterranean basin. Turkish EM has a scientific journal, two national societies, many academic departments, a Eurasian Congress as well as many conferences and seminars. We now have tens of EM residencies in the Arab World (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Lebanon), an active and growing Arab Board of Emergency Medicine, a number of outstanding specialty societies and board certification bodies in some countries, and a growing number of exceptional national and regional conferences. In Lebanon with its population of five million, three EM residency programs and one full academic department are already established. No wonder then that MAEM will be launching in the coming few months a regional scientific journal (MedJEM) and assuming a leadership role planning and executing the MEMC for the years to come. In 2015, the MEMC will be held jointly with the GREAT Italy annual conference. GREAT is an International Network of multidisciplinary experts in the management of acute clinical conditions in the fields of emergency medicine and critical care. Over the last years, the GREAT Network has experienced a yearly lively growth, and now includes 68 countries in the world and important cooperations with Universities and Care Centers at the global level. Italian and International GREAT Congresses have been held each year in Rome, Italy; Paris, France; Barcelona, Spain; Prague, Czech Republic; Helsinki, Finland, with and increasing number of participants and a very active participation and collaboration between outstanding experts and young fellows. The GREAT Network aims to standardize the clinical and organizational system approach in acute disease management all over the world, and to encourage young physicians to do research on acute conditions through the concept of “Translational Medicine” and the conduction of multi-center clinical trials. Thanks to this strong research activity, since its inception in 2010 a significant number of scientific articles produced by the GREAT Network groups have been published on very important international journals. Our joint effort will add innovation and special flavor to the MEMC, and will provide exceptional momentum and value to our speakers and participants. Together, we shall continue to develop and promote exceptional international networks and to build bridges of knowledge, research, and activism. Best regards,

Prof. Amin Antoine N. Kazzi, MD MAAEM FAAEM Mediterranean Academy of Emergency Medicine

Evaluations

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 Congress 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 the Congress. The Model of the Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine details the core content of emergency medicine and undergoes an ongoing review.

Please take time to complete the brief evaluations online using the link below. Your input and comments are essential in planning future educational activities. www.emcongress.org/2015/evaluations

Italian Continuing Medical Education (CME): The “Medical-Surgical Emergencies (EMERGENZE MEDICO-CHIRURGICHE)” has been accredited to the Italian Ministry of Health for 6 CME Credits for the following disciplinary areas: Medical Doctor. Credits will be given only if a participant attends 100% of the working sessions and provides correct answers to at least 75% of the questions included in the final assessment questionnaire. The CME certificate will be sent to the participant after the event.

Keynote Speakers Arthur L. Kellermann, MD MPH Monday, September 7 | 12:00pm-12:40pm The Role of Emergency Medicine in International Preventative Health Arthur L. Kellermann, MD MPH, joined the faculty of the F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, on September 7, 2013. The unique program has ranked among the top in the nation, and is the country’s only federal medical school. Dr. Kellermann’s distinguished career is anchored in academic medicine and public health. Prior to joining USU, he held the Paul-O’Neill-Alcoa Chair in Policy Analysis at RAND, a non-profit research organization. He was a professor of emergency medicine and public health and associate dean for health policy at the Emory School of Medicine in Atlanta. He founded Emory’s Department of Emergency Medicine and served as its first chair from 1999 to 2007. He also founded the Emory Center for Injury Control, a World Health Organization Collaborating Center. A two-term member of the board of directors of the American College of Emergency Physicians, Dr. Kellermann was subsequently given the College’s highest award for leadership. He also holds “excellence in science” awards from the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine and the Injury Control and Emergency Health Services Section of the American Public Health Association. Elected to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 1999, he co-chaired the IOM Committee on the Consequences of Uninsurance. He currently serves on the IOM’s Governing Council. A clinician and researcher, Dr. Kellermann practiced and taught emergency medicine for more than 25 years in public teaching hospitals in Seattle, Washington; Memphis, Tennessee; and Atlanta, Georgia. His research addresses a wide range of issues, including health care spending and information technology, injury prevention, treatment of traumatic brain injury, emergency care, and disaster preparedness.

In 2006 he received the Ruedy Award from the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada for innovation in medical education, and in the same year was appointed to the Board of the Canadian Patient Safety Institute. His research is principally concerned with clinical decisionmaking, especially the processes that lead to diagnostic failure. He was a member of the organizing committee of the first congress on Diagnostic Error in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2008 and has contributed at each national congress since. He has published over 80 journal articles and 30 book chapters in the area of patient safety, clinical decision making, and medical education reform. He is senior editor on a major text Patient Safety in Emergency Medicine published in 2009, and senior author of Diagnosis due out in 2015.

On the day of the competition, the resident will present his/her case, and an attending from another program will present the solution to the case. Session moderators will then present the actual result of the real case. The resident winners and the attending winners will receive the recognition of being the MEMCGREAT 2015 CPC winners, and will be recognized onsite at the Congress.

Poster Information Guidelines for Authors Display boards will be provided for all posters. Posters should be designed to fit an area 120cm or 72 inches in height (vertical) and 95cm or 36 inches in width (horizontal). The poster height is taller than width. We will provide methods for attaching posters to the display boards. Your poster should include the title, authors and affiliations, the abstract, an introduction, methods, results, and discussion. The ideal poster is designed to (1) attract attention; (2) provide a brief overview of your work; and (3) initiate discussion. Text should be confined to brief statements. Be sure to use fonts (16pt or larger) and illustrations large enough to be easily read from a distance of 1m. Keep tables, figures, and photographs simple (i.e., convey only one idea per image). Please be sure your poster is hung before 8:30am on the morning of your display date. Your poster must be removed no later than 7:00pm each evening. Remaining posters will be removed and discarded. MEMC-GREAT is not responsible for posters left hanging after 7:00pm.

Lunchtime Moderated Poster Competition GREAT will be sponsoring a poster competition at MEMC-GREAT this year. Poster presenters are requested to be available during the lunch break (12:40pm–2:00pm) on the day they are assigned to answer questions about their poster(s) to the GREAT Commission. Presenters will be asked one or two questions about their work. Posters will be judged on innovation, scientific quality and potential impact on international literature. At the close of the Congress, the top poster from each day will be honored with a certificate as the First Prize Winner, MEMC-GREAT 2015 Poster Competition. An honorarium of €500 will be presented to each of the three First Prize winners. The poster competition is a unique opportunity for junior investigators to have the advantage of presenting their work to established researchers with an interest in providing constructive critique and guidance, network with Commission members, and receive tips on how to further develop or more advantageously present their work.
