Past attendees are sure to notice more — more activity, more verve, more lectures, more ways to grow. We have added new breakout lectures, three new specialty tracks, created ACOEP’s Council for Women in Emergency Medicine—all of these combine to make The Edge: Scientific Assembly 2015 fresh and exciting, giving you the professional leg-up that brings physicians back year after year. Scientific Assembly also brings new ways to have a great time with this tight-knit community. The ACOEP Social Wall returns to connect attendees faster through social media.

A Changing of the Guard at ACOEP

Th be an Pr rol

Ho thi co are

By Erin Sernoffsky

This fall marks the successful conclusion of Mark Mitchell’s term as ACOEP’s 19th President. Dr. Mitchell, a 23 year member of ACOEP, Fellow, and longtime board member, has served faithfully for two years. Dr. Mitchell’s legacy includes guiding ACOEP through the challenges of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. He has forged new relationships with other associations such as the American College of Emergency Physicians, the Emergency Department Practice Management Association, and the American Academy of Emergency Nurse Practitioners. “It has been a true pleasure working so closely with Mark,” says ACOEP Executive Director Jan Wachtler. “He worked part time from our home office, giving the entire staff a chance to get to know him and ensure his goals were achieved. It really made our team stronger.” Dr. Mitchell keeps a wide lens view of the role of emergency physicians, an important quality for the leader of a national association. “One of the biggest challenges we will continue to face is the cost of healthcare in the US,” says Dr. Mitchell. “Our society cannot afford the continued escalation of percentage of the GDP that is going to healthcare. As emergency physicians we sit at the forefront of many of these issues. We see the uninsured and under-insured patients that have no access to healthcare other than the Emergency Department. We see patients with minor medical issues that expect expensive tests that are not necessary. We see patients at the end of life that simply need someone to hold their hand and allow them to die with dignity, not in an Intensive Care Unit.” He not only has a strong sense of the challenges facing emergency physicians, but a deep appreciation for what they can bring to their communities. “As emergency physicians our biggest asset is that we deliver outstanding care to over 130 million patients per year. People know they can trust us to be there when they need us most.” While ACOEP members will miss Dr. Mitchell’s unique skillset, the College will transition to the very capable guidance of John “Chuck” Prestosh, DO, FACOEP. Dr. Prestosh is a long-time member of ACOEP, dedicated to growing the College’s national profile, safeguarding DO’s place is the medical community, and engaging up and coming physicians with the College. Dr. Prestosh is ready to hit the ground running. “I realize I am transitioning into this position at a transformative time in the world of graduate medical education and specialty certification,” says Dr. Prestosh. “I have two main goals I am determined to meet in the next two years. The first goal is for ACOEP to maintain relevance in the House of Emergency Medicine. We need to maintain ourselves as an integral component in determining not only our future, but also the future of delivering emergency care across our country.” He also understands the pivotal role residents play in our future, and his second goal is to build strong relationships with these professionals. “Residents are the ‘life-line of our College, and we need to ensure their continued involvement with us. It is for this reason I am planning to visit, every Osteopathic residency program 11

The changing of the guard this fall marks the end of a successful era for ACOEP. “Mark has tirelessly worked on behalf of the College and has made his voice heard speaking on the positive aspects of osteopathic medicine and ACOEP,” says Prestosh. “I am fortunate to have Mark continue on the Board of Directors as immediate Past President because I will still have his expertise to depend upon. The ACOEP has had many strong leaders fill the role of President, and I consider Mark to be one of them.” However, as Dr. Prestosh mentioned, ACOEP is rich with strong leaders, himself included. Dr. Mitchell agrees with this sentiment, and this gives him confidence in the new leadership. “It doesn’t take long to realize that ACOEP is comprised of many outstanding people,” he says. “As President of this organization you have many people who are there to support you and assist in many different ways.” Join ACOEP leadership and your fellow members to celebrate the passing of the torch at the Fellowship Ceremony, Sunday October 18, at 5 pm.

during my two year term, whether in person or via electronic media.”

Congratulations to ACOEP’s Fellows and Honorees! Scientific Assembly is not only a time for world class education and professional development, it is a time to honor outstanding individuals who have made a lasting impact to ACOEP’s community, and to the overall practice of emergency medicine in hospitals across the nation. This year, the Fellowship Ceremony that celebrates new Fellows as well as award winners will be held in conjunction with the Membership Meeting. All ACOEP members are invited to honor these leaders, and to hear the latest news of the College, to see the swearing in of the new ACOEP President Chuck Prestosh, and to find out the results of the upcoming election. Congratulations to the 2015 Honorees! New Distinguished Fellows

An Interview with Keynote Speaker Brian Boyle By Erin Sernoffsky

Every day emergency physicians are called upon to save lives. With literal life-anddeath decisions at stake it can be difficult to look past the injury or illness at hand and to see the person asking for help. Brian Boyle had just graduated high school when a collision with a dump truck threatened his bright future. His heart was pushed to the other side of his chest, his lung collapsed, his liver was lacerated and his kidneys failed. His ribs, clavicle and pelvis were shattered. After a dramatic three-year journey, Brian has not only made a full recovery, he has gone on to compete in endurance sports, even completing the Hawaii Iron Man Triathlon. He is now an international advocate in healthcare championing blood donation, and patient and provider wellness. Brian recently published his second book, The Patient Experience, in which he uses his insight as a patient to bridge many of the common gaps between healthcare provider and patient. Brian was kind enough to answer some questions, providing an idea of who he is and why his important voice needs to be heard in today’s healthcare conversation. ES: The mission of osteopathic medicine is to treat the whole person, taking into account other medical conditions, lifestyle, and a myriad of other factors. How do you see these principles playing a role in healthcare? These principles are ultimately about improving the life of the patient, which is the heart and soul of healthcare. It is much more than walking into a patient’s room and diagnosing the problem, it is also about making that connection that will ultimately assist the patient as they continue their path to recovery. I was not just a sick body on a hospital bed, I was a person, an individual with an identity, and goals, and dreams. The care providers that stood out to us were the men and women who treated the medical issues, helped get me stable, while also taking these lifestyle factors into consideration as well. They were treating the body, mind, and spirit, which really inspired me during my time as a patient. I’m grateful for the work that health care providers do every single day, they truly are miracle workers and guardian angels. ES: Why is your message of particular importance to emergency physicians? The foundation of my background began in the trauma/emergency department of the healthcare system. From my accident scene, to shock trauma, and then to the operating room - my life was in the hands of my emergency providers, nurses, and physicians. When a trauma/emergency patient is brought into this environment, time is of the essence. These gifted men and women are responsible for caring and treating for that individual and helping to get them onto a successful road to recovery, which begins the moment they are brought into the hospital. My recovery took three years to complete, but it started with emergency medicine.

Emergency medicine is definitely a fast-paced world, and I have seen how life-saving decisions must be made in just a few seconds, because an extra second more could be catastrophic to that patient. When you are focusing on the goals for the patient’s recovery, the doctors work with the nurses, specialists, and patient’s family to decide on the appropriate care plan for the patient on both a short- and long-term basis. It is vital that this multi-disciplinary approach occurs during the formation of the care plan and is frequently updated as time goes on. Each group, including the family, spends time observing the patient, therefore every group can contribute to the overall treatment plan. ES: From your experience, what are the biggest roadblocks to patient engagement?

COURSE FACULTY

ES: You write about a patient-and family-centered approach to healthcare. In the fast-paced world of emergency medicine, what are some ways physicians can incorporate this into their practice?

When you’re caring for the patient, I feel the priority is addressing and treating the medical issues of the patient. However, that is only half of the engagement because, first you treat the body, then you heal the person. Reaching out and making that connection with the patient is so important because it not only improves the experience of the patient, but you are also building a sense of trust that will ultimately help provide a form of teamwork as the patient recovers. It can be such a fast-paced environment in the trauma/emergency department, but when this engagement is pursued, the experiences that occur for the patient and their care team will ultimately improve for the better. ES: One of the important issues you touch on is how provider stress and mood can directly affect care. How did you see this play out in your own story? Even though I was the patient and constantly being supervised, I was also studying the behavior of my care providers and making my own observations about them. The way they carried themselves had a lot to do with their backgrounds and experiences, but especially how they handled any unplanned stress that arose during the day. I could even sense the positive or negative energy of the people who came into my room by their tone, body language, gestures, and movement. I could immediately tell if they were having a good day or a really bad day, which would reflect on the type of treatment I received. I spent so much time with my team that I gradually learned their traits, common phrases, and mannerisms. Some strategies that care providers can take advantage of in their careers is based on being fully aware of what you say around the patient, whether they are conscious or unconscious, and even reflect on your tone, body language, and the type of energy you are bringing into the patient’s room. I was in a medically induced coma, but there were many moments where I was very aware of my surroundings and the people around me. ES: Much of what you write about is establishing an emotional connection with patients and their families. As a patient, why was this helpful to you? There is a lot going on in any department of the hospital and it’s very effective to walk into a patient’s room and have full focus on them and how to care for them. It is also about making a connection with the patient and their family. I may have been in a coma, but my favorite care providers were the individuals that walked into my room, spoke to me (even though I couldn’t speak back); they would say my name; explain what they were doing; play my favorite music or had my favorite channel on the television; they would have a conversation with me (mostly about how proud they were of my recovery at that point, about a conversation they had with my family, or even about what their plans were that weekend); they would look at my photos on the bulletin board in my room to get to know my background; read my get well cards to me; find ways to motivate and inspire me; and also interacted with my parents. They may not have always been able to answer the questions my parents had because I was such a critical patient, but the fact that they took the time to listen to my parents and address their concerns really made a positive impact. 32

New President of the American Osteopathic Association! It is well known that ACOEP’s members are active, engaged visionaries. Across the board, their calling is to serve the medical community, advancing the quality of care nation-wide, and creating a safe and exciting workplace for caregivers.

John Becher, DO, FACOEP-D is a prime example of this level of commitment to medicine, the osteopathic community, and leadership through service. In July, Dr. Becher, a ACOEP Past President and life member, was sworn in as the President of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA).

ACOEP INFORMATION

Congratulations John Becher, DO, FACOEP-D

“I am thrilled for Dr. Becher,” says ACOEP Executive Director Jan Wachtler. “He brings a level of experience and expertise to the Office and as a leader he will truly bring healthcare issues and the role that osteopathic physicians play in today’s healthcare environment to the forefront. In this era of the Single Accreditation Pathway, I would not want anyone else leading the AOA because John will ensure that the osteopathic profession and its training programs make the transition successfully. As an educator he knows the ropes and will ensure a level playing field. He is a true leader.” Dr. Becher’s career spans many years during which time he has worn many hats and achieved much. A 1970 graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, he did a residency in OB/GYN in Flint, Michigan before the emergency medicine bug bit him. By 1972 he was working full-time in the emergency room. Joining the fledging ACOEP in 1976 as a Charter Member, he was instrumental in the development of the first residency standards and in 1979 became the first program director at HPCOM Barth Pavilion’s emergency medicine residency program. In 1978 he became a member of the ACOEP Board of Directors and became its 4th President in 1983. Since then Dr. Becher served the College in many areas, including a member of the Committee on Graduate Medical Education, and Treasurer. Dr. Becher serves as Director of Osteopathic Medical Education at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He is also chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine and a professor at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). Dr. Becher is also an adjunct professor of emergency medicine at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. “In a very real way, Dr. Becher helped to set the course that we are all traveling on,” said ACOEP President-elect Chuck Prestosh. “His diligent work in establishing ACOEP as a national voice in medicine is something we benefit from and build upon today.” Current ACOEP President Mark Mitchell knows that the road ahead for Dr. Becher will not be an easy one, but that he is up for the job. “We all know we are at a crossroads in healthcare in this country and emergency medicine is on the front line,” say Dr. Mitchell. “Dr. Becher has the experience, and vision to make a great impact on the lives of thousands through his leadership and I am confident in his abilities.” 38
