ANNUAL MEETING WR AP-UP

SAEM18 Indy: An Unparalleled Success!

SAEM18 was one for the record books, with the highest-ever number of submissions for pre-meeting workshops, didactics, abstracts, and clinical images AND our highest-ever turnout in several categories:

• Highest number of exhibitors

• Greatest combined number of resident and medical student attendees

• Most attendees total

More than 3,100 attendees—the most in history for an SAEM annual meeting—convened in Indianapolis for four days of high-quality career development opportunities, cutting edge education, state of the art original research, and innovation in academic emergency medicine presented by some of the top names in the specialty.

Energetic Crowd Sets the Pace

The energy in the host hotel was high, the vibe was exciting, and Indianapolis proved to be as hip as it was hospitable, with a whole lot happening for after-hours fun-seekers. A record number of RAMS (residents and medical students) brought an extra measure of exuberance, helped along by the appearance of the RAMS mascot who livened up the crowds with his dance moves and high fives. The Ram joined 600- plus rambunctious residents and medical students for a fun night of revelry at the annual RAMS Party—held this year at the spectacular Revel Nightclub.

Gail D’Onofrio Opens SAEM18

The opening ceremony took place before a full house, with Gail D'Onofrio, MD, kicking things off with a timely and

compelling keynote address titled, "The Opioid Crisis: Emergency Physicians as Innovators, Policymakers, and Heroes." The keynote was followed by the plenary session presentation of the top seven abstracts. Representing a broad diversity of research in emergency medicine, these abstracts were chosen as the best from among more than 800 submissions.

President Bird Installed

Steven Bird, MD, was installed at the opening ceremony as SAEM’s 2018-2019 president. Dr. Bird will hold the president's post for a one-year term. As president, Dr. Bird intends to focus on resident and faculty well-being. Dr. Bird is vice chair for education in the Department of Emergency Medicine, and the emergency medicine residency director at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Dr. Bird has been actively involved with SAEM since 1998, most recently as President-Elect. Congratulations Dr. Bird!

Fierce Competition

SAEM Masters Secret Series, SAEM Master Scholars, and SAEM Professor Rounds were welcome new additions to this year's annual meeting and our traditional, crowd-pleasing competitions did not disappoint! Once again, the ballroom was transformed into a Dodgeball court, complete with bleachers, hot dogs, popcorn, and cold suds. More than 200 fans cheered on 20 competitive teams, but it was the team from Hackensack University Medical Center that ducked, dipped, and dodged its way to the tournament title. In other competition, the Simulation Academy SimWars was back and better than ever, with 200 new cases and a captivated crowd of 200 fans who filled the space with enthusiastic cheers. Finally, in an exciting finish, Sonogames ended in a first-ever tie for first place... Wrapping up SAEM18 on an appropriately thrilling note.

Opening Ceremony Pays Tribute to Those We've Lost

During an "In Memoriam" tribute at the SAEM18 Opening Ceremonies, the Society honored SAEM members who had passed away since the 2018 annual meeting. Among them, prominent Indianapolis physician, Kevin Rodgers, MD, who died tragically in a homicide this past November. Dr. Rodgers, in a surprise presentation, was honored posthumously with the Sagamore of the Wabash Award, Indiana's highest civilian honor. The award, a tribute given to those who have rendered a distinguished service to the state or to the governor, was presented on behalf of Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb by SAEM member, Jennifer Walthall, MD, MPH, secretary, Indiana Family and Social Services Administration. Accepting the award on Dr. Rodgers' behalf was his wife, Ruth Rodgers, vice president for student development and dean of students at Marian University, Indianapolis.
