PRESIDENT’S M ESSAGE Robert S. Hockberger, MD
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Harbor-UCLA Medical Center
MANAGING TIME AND ACADEMIC LIFE Roughly a year ago, I was asked to develop a lecture on time management for the AACEM course for new emergency medicine department chairs. The session is now less than a month away and I’m finally finding time to work on the project. That’s pretty ironic, particularly given the fact that I retired from my primary job last year to have more time to engage in the scholarship and service activities I find most rewarding at this point in my Robert S. Hockberger, MD career. It shows, I think, how quickly and easily our lives fill up with things (some big, some small, some important, some just fun), even when you aren’t collecting a paycheck and control your time. Merging my own experiences over the years with the perspectives I gained by reading books on time management by Stephen Covey, David Allen, Atul Gawande, John Maxwell, Peter Bregman and others, I’ve learned three overarching themes I’d like to share. FAMILY - It isn’t possible to separate the topics of time management, career planning and work-life balance, as they all overlap and have immense impacts on each other. This doesn’t come as a surprise to many millennials, but it is often a hardlearned lesson for aspiring young faculty. One of our senior faculty gives a lecture on time management to our fellows that opens with a slide showing an academic physician juggling a number of
4
balls labelled clinical work, teaching, scholarship, service, family, personal health, community involvement, and several others. All of the balls are made of rubber except one, family, which is made of glass. Her teaching point is that when life becomes overwhelming, the ball you really don’t want to drop is the one made of glass, the one most difficult to pick up again and repair. Patty and I met and married later in life, and there is nothing more important to me than her happiness, and yet my time with her always seemed to be the most flexible thing in my schedule, something I took advantage of because she’s been so supportive of my career, so understanding and so forgiving. I was very fortunate, although I’m sure I missed out on a number of experiences that would have brought us joy and wonderful memories some day when we are sitting in front of a fire looking back on the lives we shared. Unfortunately, I’ve had a number of colleagues over the years who weren’t as lucky. If your personal life is important to you, the people and activities that bring you joy need to be budgeted into your schedule with a level of importance equal to that of an emergency meeting with the dean. Whenever you make personal compromises for professional reasons, as we all inevitably do from time to time to advance our careers, you should quickly look for active ways to restore the balance, not just apologize.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S M ESSAGE HAPPY NEW YEAR There is much to be happy and thankful for as we start a new calendar year at SAEM, even though our new program year does not begin until the end of the Annual Meeting on May 15, 2015. We ended our 25th anniversary year with an all-time record attendance at the 2014 Annual Meeting in Dallas, and many members said that it was the “best ever,” in spite of the thunderstorms that closed DFW and Ronald S. Moen had members in various airports across the country wondering when they would make it to the meeting. Almost all eventually made it, so we have new stories to remember from our 2014 meeting. Never let it be said that our members do not persevere in their determination to accomplish what they set out to do. Now, as we look forward to 2015 and beyond, there are several new milestones that will mark our path. The Board of Directors, with the assistance of Paul Meyer of Tecker International Consulting, LLC, has been working hard on a new strategic plan and a long-term strategic planning process. This effort will be finished by the time of the 2015 Annual Meeting and will help move SAEM forward into new emphasis areas, while continuing to expand and improve areas for which SAEM has become well known. A continued emphasis on education at all levels of emergency medicine, continued emphasis on research of all kinds to improve patient care, and improvements in emergency care delivery will continue to be hallmarks of SAEM. The mission of SAEM will continue to recognize the shrinking of the globe and respond to the requests for greater involvement in emergency medicine education and research throughout the world. The Board is looking forward to additional input as the draft of the Strategic Plan begins to roll out, as the new process means that progress will be measured each year, and changes can and will be made each year, while keeping true to SAEM’s unique role in emergency medicine. 2015 will also bring a new chief executive officer to SAEM. When I started as the interim executive director in January of 2012, the plan was for me to stay for several months until a new executive director could be hired. However, after several months, the Board asked me to stay longer in order to implement some of the changes that they felt were needed to improve programs and services to the members. It has been a wonderful experience to work with members of the SAEM Board of Directors, the Trustees of the SAEM Foundation, so many dedicated SAEM members who provide leadership to SAEM committees, the eight academies, and several task forces. It has also been a privilege to work with the leadership of AACEM, especially as they have grown and developed their retreats in conjunction with AAAEM over these past years. But it is time for me to once again retire, and I look forward to working with the new CEO to make the
transition smooth and seamless. It has also been very rewarding to work with the dedicated staff who work on behalf of SAEM. A lot has changed in these past years, but the mission of staff always remains to support the mission of SAEM and its members. As we look forward in anticipation of new beginnings for SAEM in 2015 and beyond, I am reminded of several of my favorite sayings. One that has always stayed with me since high school is “Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm.” That is certainly an apt description of SAEM members! Seldom have I ever met a more dedicated and enthusiastic bunch of interesting and stimulating individuals. Sometimes it seems that your enthusiasm is boundless and that your expectations never diminish, regardless of what obstacles might appear on the horizon. Perhaps that is the nature of emergency physicians, as you must be ready at all times to meet the needs of individuals who are desperate for your care, compassion and understanding. And that certainly must be even more true for the faculty and residents in an academic setting, where care, research and education all must come together in ways that often cannot be predicted in advance. Staying always on the cutting edge of medicine demands a certain personality, inquisitiveness and confidence that most individuals do not possess. The second saying that has stayed with me from my college years is “To whom much is given, much will be expected.” I do think that many of us do not always stop to realize how much we have been given in our lives. Whether it is from our parents, our teachers, our friends or our colleagues, we have benefited from their wisdom, counsel and willingness to share with us. It is no surprise that SAEM members tell us that one of the greatest benefits of the SAEM Annual Meeting, regional meetings, academy membership and service on committees is the opportunity to network with and get to know fellow members, with both similar as well as dissimilar interests. That is one reason why we are pursuing new ways to facilitate mentorship within SAEM. We have all gained from our mentors, in formal and informal situations. So one thing I have tried to do my entire life is to be available to others who seek guidance, support, feedback and, yes, even comfort when appropriate. That is one way each of us can “give back,” recognize what we have been given and share it with others. Another way to give back is to support the SAEM Foundation. It is your Foundation, and it will only grow and prosper as each and every SAEM member contributes what he or she is able, each and every year. It is through support from funders like the SAEM Foundation that future educators and researchers will be able to survive and thrive and make the necessary discoveries that will advance the specialty you have all chosen and grown to love. So HAPPY NEW YEAR, SAEM and all SAEM members!

EM PHYSICIAN IN THE SPOTLIGHT STEVEN J. STACK, MD President-elect The American Medical Association
“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.” — Woodrow Wilson Steven J. Stack, MD, an emergency department physician practicing in Lexington, Kentucky, is president-elect of the American Medical Association. Elected to the AMA Board of Trustees in 2006, he was the first board-certified emergency physician to serve as an AMA board member. His AMA leadership positions have included board chair and secretary. Before that, he was an elected leader with numerous state, national and specialty medical associations.
Dr. Stack was medical director of the emergency departments at St. Joseph East in Lexington and St. Joseph Mt. Sterling in rural eastern Kentucky. He was also medical director of the emergency department at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
Dr. Stack is nationally recognized for his expertise in health information technology and was chair of the AMA’s Health Information Technology Advisory Group from 2007 to 2013. He has also served on multiple federal advisory groups for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
Dr. Stack will become AMA president in June 2015. At age 43, he’ll be the youngest AMA president in the last 100 years.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Dr. Stack is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. He completed his medical education and training at the Ohio State University.
THE VALUE OF PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS When I was invited to share some of my thoughts on the value of professional organizations, the President Wilson quotation above came to mind. I consider myself fortunate to have the privilege to care for individual patients, to be entrusted by them with their wellbeing, and to sometimes have an indelible impact in their lives. I enjoy these privileges within the context of a larger profession, itself a small element of our larger society. In a deeply meaningful way, my involvement within professional physician associations has been a bridge from the individual patient’s bedside to a rich and larger engagement with our profession and society at large. I started medical school in 1994 and joined the American Medical Association (AMA) during my first week. By 1995, I held my first leadership role at the medical-school level and attended my very first AMA meeting in Washington, D.C. Even today, I can clearly recall how much I enjoyed meeting medical students and physicians from all over the United States and across so many differing specialties. I quickly realized that, while
6
curiosity and interest in leadership first drew me to the AMA, it was the personal relationships and subsequent friendships with remarkable colleagues that brought me back, again and again. Often, these brought many extra hours of work and difficulty with juggling schedules, but I always felt I received so much more in return – more professional development, more opportunity for impact, more friendships – than I ever gave. To demonstrate the last point, consider that, from its founding in 1847, the AMA has been central to the establishment of professional standards for both medical education and medical ethics. Its mission, “to promote the art and science of medicine and the betterment of public health,” has been its guiding purpose for the past 168 years. Today, one may see the AMA as an organization that continues great work helping doctors help patients. For example, through its current strategic initiatives, the AMA is aggressively working to shape a healthier future by fundamentally reforming undergraduate medical education,
profoundly improving health outcomes related to hypertension and prediabetes, and substantially improving physician professional satisfaction and practice sustainability. Each of these initiatives is big, bold, and deeply impactful, and is tied to the AMA’s enduring mission. And, though these initiatives will take great and sustained effort, each requires the sort of ennobling errands President Wilson inspires with his words above. In June 2015, I’ll have the honor of serving as 170th president of the American Medical Association and the first emergency physician in that position. For our specialty, this occasion is additionally meaningful, as the struggle for formal professional recognition of emergency medicine as a recognized specialty began at the AMA House of Delegates in the 1970s. Now, after
Continued from Page 4 CREATIVITY - No matter how busy your schedule seems to be, budget time for creativity. Daniel Levitin, an expert on cognition at McGill University, describes two dominant modes of attention of our conscious minds. The task-positive network is active when we are engaged in a task, focused and undistracted. The task-negative network is active when our minds are unfocused and wandering. It is during this second period that the free flow and mingling of disparate information and ideas can result in connections that create insight and creativity. When one network is active, the other is not, and both are necessary for creative achievement. Our careers can be viewed as a series of tasks planned to take us toward one or more desired goals. It doesn’t matter if those goals are positions of power and influence, particular career-defining achievements, or simply the pleasure obtained from activities like teaching or research. While we rely on our task-positive networks to accomplish the work, we need our task-negative networks to supply the sparks of creativity necessary to make our tasks worthy of the effort, and not just work products designed to get us through the week, or the next stage in our careers. Most time management authors suggest budgeting time blocks to accommodate both phases of the process, commonly 30-45 minutes of focused work alternating with 10-15 minutes of mindwandering (taking a walk, listening to music, or almost any activity that doesn’t require sustained attention) to free up our minds to allow those eureka moments to occur. To accomplish that, we need to prospectively budget enough time blocks into our schedules to accomplish each creative task; otherwise, the hustle and bustle of daily work life may consume us and force us into lives composed of short-term deadlines that result in added stress and average work products unworthy of our time and energy. The best time to schedule these periods will differ for individuals depending on their diurnal energy levels and work-life circumstances. For some, it’s the early morning hours before the workday begins, for others it’s after the children go to bed at night, and many (including myself) find time on weekends. The best approach, if you can do it, is to build time for this activity into your regular workweek (e.g., Friday afternoons, when administrative life tends to slow down). WORKWEEK - Levitin describes a third component of the attention system, the attention filter, which helps us determine the relative importance of incoming stimuli and controls the switch between the task-positive and task-negative networks. While this
nearly 45 years, having an emergency physician at the helm of our profession’s largest association marks a distinct milestone for our specialty. From the privilege of caring for individual patients to the fulfillment derived from engagement with fellow physicians, to the profound impact of collective professional action on society – these are among the most deeply valued rewards of my engagement with the AMA and other professional associations. Alone, we can do much. Together, we can do more! Thank you for all you do for our profession and for our patients. I hope to see many of you when I join you at the SAEM Annual Meeting this May in San Diego.
component probably evolved to alert us to threats from predators and other dangerous situations, it can become overwhelmed by the constant inflow of information and distractions of modern life, and inhibit our ability to focus on the projects or conversations at hand. To minimize distractions, do your best to partition your days into periods for necessary (but not necessarily creative) activities such as reviewing and answering emails, returning phone calls and participating in meetings of all types, with flexible time purposely scheduled in between. Then use the flexible time to develop and maintain important professional relationships. When I first became a department chair, I read a book entitled Management By Wandering Around, which suggested that managers spend regular periods visiting those for whom they are responsible at the location where those people work. I tried to stop by the office of each of my faculty members at least once or twice a month to see what they were working on and ask if I could be of help, and I did the same with key department chairs and our hospital’s CEO, CMO and CNO. Those meetings showed I cared, kept me abreast of important issues, helped me identify problems while they were in the early stages of development, and gave me the opportunity to provide input. However, the time it took me to do it (and the additional work it created) meant that I often needed to relegate some of my personally important creative tasks (like developing lectures, writing textbook chapters and working on projects for national organizations) to weekends. There is no limit to the opportunities available to smart, hardworking, committed faculty in academic emergency medicine. That is what is both wonderful, and potentially stressful, about an academic career. Despite the claims of some authors, I’ve yet to see a person who was able to “have it all.” Career success requires both hard work and personal sacrifice. However, attempting to create a reasonable balance between your personal and professional lives by thinking ahead of time about the sacrifices you are willing (and importantly, not willing) to make; working with your department chair or mentor to set professional goals for yourself; carefully choosing the creative tasks that will help you achieve those goals, and budgeting time for those tasks; creating a schedule for yourself that minimizes distractions and builds in structure, but maintains some flexibility; and being proactive in establishing a network of colleagues to provide support during your journey, is a pretty good start….and can most definitely result in a happy ending.

ETHICS IN ACTION PATIENT ACCOMMODATION Naomi Dreisinger, MD, MS, FAAP Mount Sinai Beth Israel, New York
It is a busy day in the emergency department. As the physician in charge of the pediatric area in the ED, you scan the board to ensure that sick patients are not missed, and that those patients with straightforward complaints are appropriately fast-tracked. A 15-year-old boy is waiting in the waiting room with a chief complaint of foot/ankle trauma. The patient, who is dressed in the garb of a Hasidic Orthodox Jew, is sitting in a wheelchair. He is accompanied by his mother. You step out into the waiting room to assess the patient, hoping to rapidly determine whether he needs pain medication and an x-ray. After introducing yourself, you begin to move the wheelchair to a more private location for a focused physical exam. The patient becomes noticeably upset, and begins speaking to his mother in Yiddish. It seems that he is not comfortable with you, a female, as his doctor, and is even uncomfortable with you moving the wheelchair. You are in a bit of a quandary, yet this type of situation is not an unusual one for ED providers. Within the diversity of the ED, there are times when, for example, an elderly patient may express concern that the doctor is a woman or of a minority ethnic group. Although this type of reaction is surprising, it is something ED providers must be prepared to deal with. As a female physician in the United States, I have become accustomed to being treated as an equal of my male colleagues; however, in much of the developing world, women cannot necessarily expect such treatment. The melting-pot environment in many large cities in the US brings great cultural diversity into our EDs. With this diversity, different culturally based expectations and needs come into play. Those of us that have grown up in the US pride ourselves on our ability to overcome prejudice and eliminate ethnic and gender bias, allowing us to make every attempt to treat all our patients as equals. Is it acceptable to acquiesce to requests based on bias? As physicians, we have a duty first and foremost to the patient. We aim to treat patients, and to make them as comfortable as
8
possible. In medical school, we are taught that being a patient is challenging. The patient must put herself into the care of another individual who is often a stranger. Personal and private information must be shared, bodies touched in an unhindered way, and permission given to run tests that may cause discomfort. It is the responsibility of the treating physician to empathize with her patient. Helping a person acclimate to her role as patient will ultimately expedite and help assure her appropriate care. Should physicians therefore accede to a patient’s personal preferences and in certain instances her prejudices to assure comfort? The ED is the gateway of the hospital. By nature, it is a hectic environment that attracts a culturally diverse patient population. New immigrants often frequent the ED: without other access to medical care, they arrive in the ED, adding to the chaotic patient mix. These patients are often not familiar with the expectations of the general American culture. It becomes the ED provider’s responsibility to behave in a culturally sensitive fashion. The fourth principal of medical ethics is justice. When discussing justice, an ethicist generally refers to fairness with regard to distribution of goods, with a specific focus on those goods that may be in short supply. It can also be defined as equality in the treatment of individuals. Could accommodating a patient’s bias be viewed as treating her in a just way? A doctor’s increased tolerance of seemingly minor cultural attitudes that she does not share may allow a patient to feel comfortable in an already frightening environment such as the ED. Our patient interactions are often rapid and without time for niceties. Small gestures that may violate our own cultural beliefs, such as finding a male staff member to push our Hasidic patient’s wheelchair, can make the patient feel at ease. These small changes and accommodations increase a patient’s trust and enhance communication. In turn, the patient receives better care.
RESIDENT AND STUDENT ADVISORY COM M ITTEE WHAT TO DO ABOUT MY LOANS? MUDASSIR KHAN, MD
Chief Resident, Emergency Medicine The Brooklyn Hospital Center
So you’ve graduated medical school and landed the residency of your choice. The question now is, What am I going to do with all those student loans? Typically the average medical student has over $100,000 in student loan debt. This article will focus on government loans. Now, if you took out government loans, you have a six-month window before you have to decide how you will approach them. One aspect of loan repayment is consolidation. Typically many people who do take out loans have a combination of subsidized and unsubsidized loans: each of them has a different repayment date. Instead of having to make multiple payments every month, it may be more practical to combine your loans into one lump sum, giving you one payment requirement per month. There may be some drawbacks as well as benefits to this process: visit the studentaid.gov website for more details. Deferring is an option that is rarely available now to medical residents. To qualify, you must make less than 150% of the poverty line based on your family size, which current residency salaries still exceed. The other ways to defer are to go back to school or to serve in the military. Forbearance is another option, albeit an expensive one, by means of which you do not pay anything during residency. The problem with this is that interest will continue to accrue and capitalize. When paying back your loans, you are automatically entered into the standard repayment plan. This plan pays back your loans in a matter of ten years. Overall, this will incur the least amount of accumulated interest on your repayment, but the monthly payments, depending on your loan amount, may be too high to pay. There is also a graduated repayment plan, through which you pay somewhat less for the first few years, but then it too increases. I found that this option for monthly payment also ends up being too much.
Income-based repayment (IBR) is a fairly new option that was started a few years ago. This option allows you to have a more manageable monthly payment. What it does is take the difference between your gross pay and 150% of the poverty line, which is then multiplied by 15%; this is your monthly payment. With this plan, after 25 years of payment, the remainder of your loans is forgiven; however, any forgiven amount is then considered taxable income. In the first three years of IBR, the government will pay whatever interest accrued that your monthly payment does not cover. After that, interest will accrue, but will not be compounded. In addition, there is a public service loan forgiveness program (PSLF), under which, if you work at a qualifying public health organization for 10 years and make 120 qualifying payments, the remainder of your loan will be forgiven. This forgiven amount will not be considered taxable. Income-based repayments, as well as several other repayment plans, are considered qualifying payments. Personally, I find consolidating my loans and then doing IBR to be a great option, as it saves money on your monthly payment, which would likely be minimal, and acts as a deferment on interest. If the hospital where you are doing your residency qualifies under the PSLF program, this serves as extra incentive. All the repayment programs are listed on the studentaid.gov website. Some residents find it beneficial to seek the advice of a financial advisor for loan repayments. Whatever you decide to do, I suggest addressing the repayment of your loans as soon as possible: not doing so may be costly mistake. Note: The material provided in this article is general advice only. For options and advice specific to your individual needs, please seek guidance from a financial professional.

SAEM SOCIAL M EDIA COM M ITTEE FACT, FICTION, OR FAD: THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM Lauren Westafer, DO, MPH Baystate Medical Center Resident Social Media Scholar SAEM Social Media Committee
Twitter and blogs buzz with the “flipped classroom.” Social media has propelled medical education discussions of the subject. In this model, students are exposed to fundamental knowledge outside the “classroom,” through assigned readings or pre-recorded lectures. The traditional class or lecture time is then used for higher-level skills such as application, analysis, and synthesis. For example, a resident may be assigned a podcast on anticoagulation reversal, and the class time may be used to figure out the institutional protocol and details on administering various products. The goal of this “flipped” teaching model is to shift learning from passive to active [1,2]. As a relatively new method with variable implementation, there are misunderstandings about this fad in medical education. The flipped classroom requires technology. Fiction. The flipped classroom is completely possible without social media. It’s possible without technology. Alternatively, some literature suggests that residents prefer flipped models that utilize podcasts or blogs, as it may make the task appear less dull [3,4]. Free open access medical education (FOAM) has a cornucopia of resources for this, from EMCrit to Dr. Stella Yiu’s website, Flipped EM Classroom, with a repository of short videos. On the Resus
10
Review blog, Dr. Charles Bruen has examples of flipping the classroom, including an innovative take on using FOAM: having learners identify errors in popular podcasts or blogs. Implementing the flipped classroom is easy. Fiction. A flipped classroom is not a substitute for quality educational activities. Replacing bad lectures with mediocre reading, boring recorded lectures, and uncoordinated conversations is not an improvement. The FOAM community, however, is brimming with resources for successful “flipping.” In the blog post How We Are Flipping EM Education, on iTeachEM, Dr. Robert Cooney offers a realistic view of flipping resident didactics, including factors such as choosing appropriate resources, coherent content delivery, and technology failures. Learners don’t like the flipped classroom. Fiction. Limited data in emergency medicine education on flipped classroom experiments demonstrate that while residents find the flipped model more time-consuming, they find it more useful [3]. Learners may not like the time required for the assignments, but they tend to find the experience beneficial. Learners won’t do the assigned reading/listening. Fact and fiction. The flipped classroom is not magic and alters neither personalities nor time. Some learners won’t complete the objectives. A survey of residents after implementation of the flipped model for resident conference demonstrated that most
completed the assignment [3]. This likely varies with the selection of resources and the individuals involved. Implementation of the flipped classroom is tricky, and data on concrete advantages is pending. Yet many emergency medicine residencies are employing the “flipped” model for resident didactics and utilizing social media as part of the classroom and implementation. With incomplete data and extraordinary effort, the flipped classroom is likely an imperfect model. Is it worth it? As a resident in a program that has “flipped” conference, I find the benefits of this model are clear, if not yet vetted. For example, we were assigned pearls from University of Maryland and EMcrit resources on ventilator management. I hastily completed the short questions on our online system. In conference, I was rewarded by staving off embarrassment in front of peers when we were called upon to set up and manage real ventilators in patient scenarios. I quickly discovered, however, that I could confidently and appropriately address ventilator issues when confronted with this cacophony alone at night in the PICU weeks after. I doubt a lecture would have endured and given me the same confidence.
See, the flipped classroom has the potential to increase the residents’ ownership in learning and challenges us to use knowledge. Next, whether in an upside-down or in a right-side-up classroom, we will hopefully move towards having learners asking the questions, finding the answers, and creating solutions. REFERENCES: 1.

Have you thought of what you will do after residency? What are your personal and career goals? In this article, four successful emergency medicine attending physicians discuss different career paths in emergency medicine, including academic emergency medicine, community practice, a hybrid between the two, and fellowship opportunities. A general description of these environments, based on the opinions of the four contributing attendings, is followed by these physicians’ personal experiences in choosing a career path and what their positions now entail.
Academic Emergency Medicine
Emergency medicine attendings who work in an academic center typically interact with residents and medical students. Responsibilities in addition to patient care may include teaching, research, and administrative opportunities. A wide range of specialty services (anesthesia, obstetrics and gynecology, otolaryngology, gastroenterology, etc.) are often available 24 hours a day at an academic center. Residents who enjoy teaching, have a strong interest in research, or have a desire to join residency leadership are encouraged to pursue a career in academic emergency medicine. Although there are many advantages to working in an academic environment, some potential drawbacks exist. Physicians who work in academia may feel they practice according to the way the residency program or department dictates and do not have as much independence to develop their own practice style as the freedom of a community practice might provide. While financial compensation is generally less for academic emergency physicians, careful consideration should be taken when comparing salaries, as benefits and malpractice insurance provided by large academic institutions may help balance the overall numbers.
Community Emergency Medicine
While the focus in academic emergency medicine tends to be not only on patient care but also on teaching and research, community hospital emergency departments place a greater emphasis on efficiency in conjunction with quality care. Also,
12
consulting service coverage varies with both specialties offered as well as their availability. Emergency medicine physicians who have worked in a community setting often feel that such an environment allowed them to develop their own independent way of practicing, as well as to identify areas of weakness, as they have more control over patient care without subspecialty services in-house for procedures and other recommendations.
Hybrid Positions (a combination of community and academic settings)
A hybrid position is one in which an emergency medicine physician works in both a community environment and an academic setting. These positions allow physicians who feel strongly about not only teaching residents or students, but also keeping up their personal skill sets by working shifts independent of residents, to experience both settings. Occasionally, these opportunities may not require as many administrative or research responsibilities.
Fellowships in Emergency Medicine
Fellowships allow a physician to achieve specialty training in a subspecialty of emergency medicine, allowing an individual to develop a niche in the broad field of EM while building a portfolio in a specific area of interest. Fellowship opportunities are almost exclusively found in academic centers and are of varying length. SAEM has a comprehensive directory of fellowship listings on its website - http://www.saem.org/membership/services/fellowshipdirectory. Those who have chosen to pursue a fellowship, as well as those who have not, both note the financial downside of fellowship training, with anywhere from one to three additional years without an attending salary.
Is it possible switch career paths once you have already started working as an attending?
Yes, but it can be challenging. Recommendations by our contributors for those working in a community emergency department and wishing to switch into academia include joining an academic center’s medical staff and picking up shifts as needed; becoming involved in teaching; or applying for a clinical appointment at a local medical school. Transitioning into a hybrid position prior to full academics often allows for a foot in the door, while staying up to date on the latest advances in emergency medicine and literature. For those considering making the transition from academics to community emergency medicine, our contributors stress the importance of staying sharp on not only medical knowledge but also procedural skills.
AND NOW A WORD FROM THE ATTENDINGS… What career path did you choose and why? David J. Amin, MD, FACEP, FAAP
My career has been a hybrid. I spent eight years in the United States Air Force prior to medical school, completed residency in emergency medicine and a fellowship in pediatric emergency medicine. I work clinical hours, give lectures, and precept physician assistants and nurse practitioners. I am an ABEM examiner and previously the vice chair of a department of emergency medicine. I have been a medical director, helped found and run a health clinic,
and worked on a mobile pediatric van. I am now going back to school to earn an MBA. The answer to the question “clinical practice versus academics” is that there is NO answer! We are ALL academics AND clinicians. We won’t all do bench research or be a chairman, but we will all continue to learn, teach and grow. Defining yourself as an ER doctor is not enough. We are academic self-educators, teachers, community leaders, and public health officials all at once. The question should be: What is important to you and how do you structure a life in medicine that is rewarding? The answer will evolve as you mature. Figure out what is important to you now and realize that it will change. How do you plan for a change that you don’t even know about? Never turn down an opportunity. Seek out new challenges. I never said “no” to a new opportunity, even when I didn’t know where it would lead. My experiences created a framework and a network of fresh perspectives and opportunities. Break out of the purely clinical or the purely academic world, if those two even exist! You don’t have to know where you will end up. It’s a journey and not a destination. Keep close contacts, stay involved, give a lecture, give your time to a free clinic, travel with a medical mission, provide commentary to news reporters, read voraciously, get involved in local or state politics, do a career day at a local school, take a grant writing class, or attend lectures. Define what is important to you and then make that world happen out of the endless opportunities available. Change brings growth, growth brings depth, and depth brings understanding. I believe understanding brings fulfillment.
Adam Kellogg, MD
I chose an academic path right out of residency, choosing to stay at the residency program at which I trained (Baystate Medical Center). I realized fairly early in residency that my favorite part of the job was teaching. I had some great teachers and mentors and wanted to emulate what they did for me. Once I figured out that I wanted to stay in a place where I could teach, I focused my efforts on doing the things needed to convince someone to give me the job. An academic career comes with a variety of commitments: clinical and extra-clinical education, local and national service, and contribution to the knowledge base of medicine. Early in your career you are unlikely to be equally strong in all three areas, but you should make efforts in those directions. To make sure I got the opportunity to teach, I became involved in an ongoing research project, joined a committee that needed an ED representative, and started to help administer the student clerkship. For me, it all came back to the opportunity to do the most teaching.
Luan Lawson, MD
After residency I pursued a community emergency medicine career. My husband and I were both working to establish our careers and we were expecting our first child, so proximity to family was very important to us. After four years of community emergency medicine practice, I reevaluated my career goals and transitioned to an academic position. The time spent in a community setting was valuable in allowing me to develop increased confidence as well as understand the resource limitations of a community hospital. The time spent in community medicine does delay the advancement timeline when compared with peers who transitioned immediately to academic medicine. As I transitioned to academic medicine, I was given the advice to avoid overextending myself. It is important to avoid overcommitting, but I encourage faculty to volunteer for activities
they may not consider a primary career goal. Interests in clinical teaching drove my return to academic medicine, but a faculty member’s untimely illness led to me stepping into the role of clerkship director. This chance sparked an interest in curriculum development and undergraduate medical education that I would not have encountered if I had not embraced the opportunity. I then pursued a graduate degree in adult education, which provided the additional knowledge and skills essential for success. Emergency medicine offers multiple career paths. Remember that no setting is mutually exclusive of your career interests. As an academic physician, it is important to be an efficient clinician, and community physicians have the opportunity to teach.
Lucienne Lutfy-Clayton, MD, FACEP
I chose a sequential career path, initially choosing a community position, and then returning to academics. While I knew in residency that I wanted to teach at an academic center, I worried that going directly into a faculty position could lead to my practicing in a singular way forever. I felt strongly that I would be a better educator if I spent time practicing independently, without the extensive resources of an academic center. During my time in community, I developed my educational portfolio by designing a curriculum for our resident rotators, giving lectures and workshops for them and the medical school. I gained administrative experience by overseeing the residents’ rotation, helping to negotiate my group’s contract, and serving on hospital committees. The time in community practice allowed me to develop my own practice, teaching, and lecturing style, based on evidence and experience rather than what I was shown or taught. Practicing without the safety net of an academic center was a powerful motivator to continue to grow and learn each day. When the uncomfortable moments became less frequent and my adrenaline ebbed, I knew it was time to return to academics. My transition was successful because I had a product to deliver to academics on day one: lectures, workshops, and a seasoned independent clinician with administrative experience. It is important to think ahead and set explicit goals to move forward, but remember to keep yourself open to change, and shift your path when doors open or close.
In Conclusion…
Now that our contributors have provided insight into different job opportunities following residency training, what should residents be doing now to help find and secure their ideal career? The most important step is to adequately explore all options in order to make an informed decision, and to do so throughout residency. Enlist the help of role models, network with other emergency medicine physicians, and use elective opportunities and research endeavors to better define the area of emergency medicine in which you are interested. If considering a job in academics, prioritize meeting with the chair of a department early in your last clinical year to inquire about what the department looks for in a candidate. If considering a community job, research community hospitals in your geographic area of interest and contact recruiters if applicable. If interested in fellowship training, reviewing application requirements and deadlines starting in the middle of your second year of residency becomes imperative, as dates vary with different specialties. And finally, paraphrasing Dr. Amin, be sure to find out what is truly important to you and never turn down an opportunity to grow and develop.

A MEDICAL STUDENT’S GAP YEAR IN TELEHEALTH ALEXANDRA PRINTZ
Telehealth Project Manager, Thomas Jefferson University
After my third year of medical school, I took a gap year to explore the quickly expanding role of telehealth. After witnessing the impact of technology during my training, I was excited to learn how telehealth could improve quality, reduce cost and improve the patient experience. While searching for an exciting telehealth opportunity, I discovered that under the leadership of Dr. Stephen Klasko, Thomas Jefferson University was implementing a bold, enterprise-wide telehealth initiative to change the way patients interact with providers, bringing care to patients wherever they are. The more I learned, the more I knew this is where I wanted to spend my gap year. I reached out to the university and was thrilled when they invited me to join their team for a year. The team moving the initiative forward includes more than 100 physicians and administrative leaders convened to build a telehealth program from the ground up. The majority of the physician leaders are emergency-trained, with a unique understanding of the wide-ranging consequences of inaccessible health care. Their goal isn’t simply to have FaceTime-like chats with patients, but instead to reinvent health care delivery, measure telehealth’s impact on care, and inform legislative action. Workgroups gather around individual telehealth use cases, spanning the patient experience from virtual rounding and postdischarge to virtual follow-up appointments and sick visits. In addition to use cases, we are developing the first National Academic Center for Telehealth, building the evidence base of telehealth practice, training and evaluation. My first task upon joining the team was to develop a Telehealth Leadership Fellowship, one component of the National Academic Center
for Telehealth. The need for telehealth leadership and expertise is expected to steadily increase, alongside the utilization of telehealth. Developing the knowledge and skills graduates will need to successfully implement a new telehealth program, the fellowship is the best of an administrative, research and educational fellowship experience. The first Thomas Jefferson Telehealth Leadership Fellow will be accepted in July 2015. During my time with the team, I have witnessed incredible optimism, imagination, and willingness to collaborate. All of these attributes are needed to lead change in the complex world of health care. Working within this supportive environment enriches my education and shows me that change is possible. I am extremely grateful to all those who have given me guidance and the opportunity to learn, with a special thanks to the emergency physicians coordinating the telehealth initiative: Dr. Judd Hollander, Dr. Brendan Carr, Dr. Kristin Rising, Dr. Olan Soremekun, Dr. Roger Band, and Dr. Dimitrios Papanagnou.

CALLS AND M EETING ANNOUNCEM ENTS - CONT. Call for Papers 2015 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference Diagnostic Imaging in the Emergency Department: A Research Agenda to Optimize Utilization The 2015 Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM) consensus conference, Diagnostic Imaging in the Emergency Department: A Research Agenda to Optimize Utilization, will be held on May 12, 2015, immediately preceding the SAEM Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA. Original papers on this topic, if accepted, will be published together with the conference proceedings in the December 2015 issue of AEM. Diagnostic imaging is integral and beneficial to the practice of emergency medicine. Over the last several decades, emergency department (ED) diagnostic imaging has increased without a commensurate rise in identified pathology or improvement in patient-centered outcomes. Unnecessary imaging results in increased resource use and significant exposure risks. ED diagnostic imaging has become the focus of many stakeholders, including patients and various regulatory agencies. This multidisciplinary consensus conference represents the first coordinated effort to further our evidence-based knowledge of ED diagnostic imaging. This consensus conference will formulate the research priorities for emergency diagnostic imaging, initiate a collaborative dialogue between stakeholders, and align this research agenda with that of federal funding agencies. Consensus Goal: The overall mission of the 2015 AEM consensus conference will be to create a prioritized research agenda in emergency diagnostic imaging for the next decade and beyond. The consensus conference will feature expert keynote speakers, panel discussions including nationally recognized experts, and facilitated breakout group sessions to develop consensus on research agendas by topic. Optimizing diagnostic imaging in the ED is a timely topic that is relevant to all who practice emergency medicine. Furthermore, the conference content spans many other specialties (e.g. radiology, pediatrics, cardiology, surgery, internal medicine), all of which will be invited to participate in the conference to optimize the agenda and for future collaboration in order to improve emergency diagnostic imaging use. Consensus Objectives: 1. Understand the current state of evidence regarding diagnostic imaging utilization in the ED and identify opportunities, limitations, and gaps in knowledge of previous study designs and methodology 2. Develop a consensus statement that emphasizes the priorities and opportunities for research in emergency diagnostic imaging that will result in practice changes, and the most effective methodologic approaches to emergency diagnostic imaging research 3. Explore and improve knowledge of specific funding mechanisms available to perform research in emergency diagnostic imaging
Accepted manuscripts will present original, high-quality research in emergency diagnostic imaging in areas such as clinical decision rules, shared decision making, knowledge translation, comparative effectiveness research, and multidisciplinary collaboration. They may include work in clinical/translational, health systems, policy, or basic sciences research. Papers will be considered for publication in the December 2015 issue of AEM if received by April 17, 2015. All submissions will undergo peer review and publication cannot be guaranteed. Contact Jennifer R. Marin, MD, MSc (jennifer.marin@chp.edu) or Angela M. Mills, MD (millsa@uphs.upenn.edu), the 2015 consensus conference co-chairs, for queries. Information and updates will be regularly posted in AEM, the SAEM Newsletter, and the journal and SAEM websites.

We are looking for volunteers to sign up and commit to pitching their ideas at our 2nd annual Research Shark Tank at the SAEM Annual Meeting, Thursday, May 14, 2015, from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm. Our Shark Tank panel, made up of five of our most esteemed emergency medicine research mentors, will critically discuss your project and may even bid money or specific mentorship opportunities to support your project. If your project is selected, your goal will be to convince the Shark Tank that your topic is worthwhile, your approach is good, and that you are worth mentoring. The 2014 inaugural Shark Tank was a “swimming” success, with 5 great “bites” on projects. With the new addition of real money for our sharks – up to $600 per Shark – this year’s panel promises to be even more enthralling You will be asked to give a five-minute presentation with a maximum of eight (8) slides detailing the concept (unmet need being solved/”background”); the plan (how you will solve the unmet need/”methods”); the outcome (metric of success), and your credentials (why we should invest in you). After your five-minute pitch, the mentors will have 7-10 minutes to critique, mentor, and counteroffer each other’s proposals to support your projects. If you are interested in participating, please fill out the form at http://tinyurl.com/SAEMSharkTank2015 or email megan_ranney@brown.edu. Presenters will be notified by late March.

SAEM ePosters are Back and Better Than Ever! Last year, SAEM trialed the use of electronic posters at the Annual Meeting. The test run was a success, and we are happy to announce that the 2015 poster session will be completely electronic! Electronic posters, or ePosters, offer users a “green” alternative to printing, carrying and pinning up posters. They provide viewers high-quality resolution of images and text. Posters will be uploaded to a secure website, and projected onto a large highdefinition format (55” LED monitors) in the poster hall. Features: ePosters allow presenters to: • Use “green technology” • Save money on printing and/or shipping costs • Save time at the meeting because your poster will already be there • Be unencumbered by printed materials • If you can use an ATM, you’ll be able to figure out how to use these ePoster monitors!
Honor Your Mentor Mentors are very important people in our lives and in our careers. I have enjoyed my career in academic emergency medicine immensely; I owe much to Dr. Peter Rosen for the encouragement he provided early on, and the support he has provided throughout my career. We each have people like Peter in our lives, and we often struggle to find the right words to thank them for the impact they have made on our careers — quite frankly, there are no words to describe how valuable these people are to us, to our families, and to our specialty. Please join me today in thanking a mentor who has changed your life in a positive way by making a gift to the SAEM Foundation in their honor. The SAEM Foundation will send a letter to your mentor informing them that a gift was made in their name, a gift that will pay forward the mentorship you received from them to future academic emergency physicians-in-training. I just donated $1,000 in honor of Peter. Please visit the SAEM Foundation website at https://saem.org/saem-foundation to make your gift and show your mentor how much their support has meant to you.
