Accepting Abstracts, Innovations, and IGNITE! Submissions
Abstracts
SAEM Annual Meeting abstracts reflect the daily interaction of the emergency department with the most vulnerable persons in society and cover a relevant mix of topics that encompass a day in the emergency department. These abstracts represent the work of thousands of researchers and educators who have created new knowledge and thinking about emergency care that adds valuable confirmation of previous work, presents evidence that might change the practice of EM for the better, and elevates the outcomes and experiences of every patient who seeks emergency medical care. Collectively they reflect a global experience of emergency care that together tell the story of important challenges and the need for more knowledge. Each year accepted abstracts are published in a special supplement of Academic Emergency Medicine journal. From among the more than 1,000 submissions, a select few will be chosen as the best of the best, to be presented during a special plenary session. Platform closes January 3, 2023. Learn more.
Innovations
Innovations is a forum for members to present novel ideas and approaches in undergraduate and graduate medical education as well as advances in other nonclinical areas such as faculty development and operations. Platform closes: January 11, 2023. Learn more.
IGNITE!
IGNITE! is a highly energetic, captivating, fast-paced, and engaging speaking competition. Each IGNITE talk is five minutes in length with 20 automatically advancing slides. A panel of judges selects a “Best of IGNITE!” winner from each IGNITE session. An “Audience Choice Award” is also given at each session based on audience polling. Because there are no limitations on submission topics, you will be exposed to all sorts of interesting issues in EM. Speakers are selected from all levels of training from all parts of the country. Platform closes January 11, 2023. Learn more.

SAEM FEATURED NEWS

The Association of Academic Chairs in Emergency Medicine (AACEM) and the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) are proud to bring you the Emerging Leader Development Program (eLEAD). This year-long course will begin at the SAEM23 Annual Meeting, which takes place May 16-19, 2023 in Austin, Texas, and will provide emerging leaders in academic emergency medicine with a structured, longitudinal experience designed to develop foundational leadership skills, cultivate a meaningful career network, and build a bridge to countless opportunities in their field. Learn more. Application deadline is January 13, 2023.
Amy Zosel, MD, MSCS
Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and Medical Toxicology, Medical College of Wisconsin
What unique benefits does the eLEAD program provide for participants?
The benefits to the program for participants are vast. The top benefits
Dr. Amy Zosel from my perspective are the opportunity to learn from top leaders in academic emergency medicine as well as develop a network of peer leaders from across the nation. Thus far, eLEAD has introduced us to several helpful tools to lead ourselves and others. It’s been great to receive several helpful techniques and tools hand-picked by experts and presented in an efficient, thoughtful manner.
So far, how has eLEAD impacted your work and career trajectory?
The eLEAD program has allowed me the structure and space to be more reflective on my own personal leadership style as well as the relationships of those I lead daily. Time management and conflict resolution are just some of the topics discussed.
Who is the ideal candidate for this program, and why would you recommend it to them?
I would highly recommend this program to any mid-level faculty that has had some leadership experience and is looking to become a better leader at work and in the community.
November 30 Is the Application Deadline for ARMED MedEd
SAEM is proud to offer the Advanced Research Methodology Evaluation and Design in Medical Education (ARMED MedEd) course. This course builds upon the fundamental knowledge and skills of health professions education researchers and equips them to design a high-quality medical education research project and grant proposal. The course is for those who have an interest and basic level of understanding or experience in medical education research, although this is not a requirement. Apply by November 30, 2022. Scholarships are available.
Kevin R. Scott, MD MSEd
Assistant Residency Director; Director, Education Scholarship Fellowship; Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania
What unique benefits does the ARMED MedEd program provide for participants?
ARMED MedED offers that “next step” beyond other education research training programs that exist. Having had a foundational understanding of education scholarship, I found that ARMED MedED reviewed the basics but then utilized leaders in the field to deliver content at that next level. In addition, the mentorship structure allows for access to multiple leaders in the field of med ed scholarship.
How has ARMED MedEd impacted your work and career trajectory?
ARMED MedEd has had a significant impact on my personal scholarly work and career trajectory. Through the mentorship program and discussion of my work and interests with leaders in ARMED MedEd, I have been fortunate enough to join a multisite study/grant which has led to further opportunities within the larger medical education community. I have also been fortunate to have developed new mentorship and personal relationships with leaders in medical education.
Who is the ideal candidate for this course, and why would you recommend it to them?
ARMED MedED is perfect for the educators who want to take that next step in building their understanding and skillset with regards to education scholarship. I believe those that are currently completing or have completed some formal concentrated program in medical education are likely to find the largest benefit from participating in the program.
What was your best takeaway from ARMED MedEd?
I am most grateful for the expansion of my network of trusted colleagues and experts. Even a year after completing ARMED MedEd we continue to work closely together with many more years on the horizon.
Anything else you’d like to share?
Having been part of the first cohort and now part of the second as a peer mentor and associated faculty, I have seen firsthand how leadership responds to feedback and is constantly adjusting the program to meets the needs of the learners.
Dr. Kevin R. Scott

SAEM FOUNDATION
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) offers a grant called the Grants for Early Medical/Surgical Specialists’ Transition to Aging Research (GEMSSTAR) Program. The GEMSSTAR program uses an NIA-funded small research project (R03) mechanism. As part of the R03 application, investigators may include a Professional Development Plan (PDP) to run concomitantly with the R03 award which is to be supported through non-R03 funds. In order to support emergency medicine GEMSSTAR applicants in their Professional Development Plan, SAEMF and the Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) jointly created this GEMSSTAR for Emergency Medicine Supplemental Funding Program. This program has a separate application process from the NIA R03. Learn more here and then apply by February 15, 2023.
