PRESIDENT’S COMMENTS Steven B. Bird, MD University of Massachusetts Medical School 2018-2019 SAEM President

The Academic EM Physician’s Role in Promoting Physician Wellness As I write this column from a beach on Cape Cod, an obvious topic to address is physician wellness. But spending seven days on the beach is not (by itself) a method to ensure wellness.

"I think that we academic emergency physicians need to take the lead in studying and designing interventions to promote physician wellness."

Too often the focus has been on burnout. But it is important to keep in mind that a lack of burnout does not mean that a physician is well. And that should be the focus of all efforts: To keep our physicians healthy, happy, productive, and providing high-quality care to all patients.

From any and all vantage points, there are clear and compelling reasons to keep physicians well. From a purely financial perspective, the data are clear — physician turnover costs a lot of money and it’s bad for hospitals. Patients of physicians who are unwell are less likely to follow medical advice and adhere to treatment plans.

Physicians who are burned out and unwell work fewer hours per week, and thus are less productive overall. If these reasons are not compelling enough to focus our attention and resources on physician wellness, what will it take?

Public outcry over physician burnout has been scant. Public service announcements that raise awareness for physician wellness have been few. This is unlikely to change.

There are many reasons for this, but to a large degree it has to do with perception.

Physicians are viewed as a privileged class, and if we scream from the rooftops too loudly or frequently about physician wellness, it will likely be heard as whining.

So I think that we academic emergency physicians need to take the lead in studying and designing interventions to

promote physician wellness. SAEM has already taken a leadership role in this important task through sponsorship and participation in the National Academy of Medicine Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience. Check out what the collaborative is doing and find resources to help you and your partners.

The time for prevalence studies is over and, frankly, none of us are going to “resilience” our way out of burnout.

Finally, there has been recognition that system issues (e.g. patient boarding and excessively burdensome documentation requirements) are likely the greatest drivers of unwellness in physicians, but change needs to come to all levels of our broken and fragmented health care delivery and remuneration systems.

Much remains to be done, and there is so much more we can do as individuals, departments, hospitals, and medical societies. SAEM has a new Wellness Committee. It’s a start. Help SAEM help you and others… Become active at the local level, in your own departments and hospitals. Help each other pursue wellness.

It will take time, effort, and funding. Make sure that your chairperson, dean, hospital president, and CEO know that physician wellness is critical to providing excellent care 24/7/365. When asked to be a part of the solution, jump enthusiastically at the opportunity. And take care of each other.

ABOUT DR. BIRD: Steven B. Bird, MD, is vice chair for education in the Department of Emergency Medicine, and the emergency medicine residency director, at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

CHAMPIONING THE NEXT GENERATION OF EM ACADEMICIANS AND LEADERS

"I hope to leave behind a larger organization with established resources to raise up the next generation of academicians and leaders in the specialty."

SAEM Pulse Talks With Chad Mayer, MD Chad L. Mayer, MD, PhD is the current president of the SAEM RAMS (Residents and Medical Students) Board. Prior to his election he was nominated and served as a member of the inaugural RAMS executive committee, leading the Wellness Committee and playing an integral role in the formative stages of the organization. Dr. Mayer is a second year emergency medicine resident at The Ohio State University and received his MD/PhD from Boston University. Originally from Marin County, CA, his passions include spending time with his wife and children, board games, travel, craft beers, and education and teaching. Chad was interviewed by Sharon Atencio, DO, chair of the SAEM Pulse Editorial Advistory Task Force.

Tell us about your relationship with SAEM. How did you first become involved? How did that evolve into you being elected the first RAMS president?

I became involved in SAEM after attending the SAEM annual meeting in Orlando during my intern year. I credit Dr. Andy King, who has been an important mentor to me at Ohio State, with encouraging my involvement. I was nominated to the inaugural board and began working in RAMS as it was newly formed, helping draft objectives and a plan for the future. I headed up the Wellness Committee as part of the inaugural board, and through that forum helped author a few articles in SAEM Pulse and oversee some of the larger wellness events at SAEM18 in Indianapolis. As our short tenure came toward an end, I wanted to continue helping form the path of this nascent organization and be “on the inside,” so I ran for president. Now I am working with the first fully-elected executive board of RAMS to really establish who we are and provide amazing resources on anything from mentoring to research development to interested residents and medical students.

Why does the world need RAMS? What unmet needs will the group address?

We need RAMS as they represent the next generation — one that will further emergency medicine as a specialty and continue to expand our niche and expertise. Academic medicine, while embraced by the minority of graduating residents, really is where change comes to all of us. Through research, mentorship, and networking, it is how we move forward and show that we are serious about evidence-based medicine, leadership on a national level, and diversity in medicine. Some things we in RAMS are trying to help with are unmet mentorship and research resources—through our awards, events such as speed mentoring, and Road Maps. We are working hard to develop resources for RAMS members who may train at places without EM residencies or a strong focus in their areas of interest to help them attain or at least investigate their academic goals.

What impact do you hope to make during your tenure as RAMS president?

While president I hope to help promote collaboration between RAMS and some of the other resident organizations such as Resident Student Association (RSA), as well as continue

fleshing out some of the amazing things we’ve come up with such as the Ask-a-Chair Podcast, the research scholarships, and Academic Road Maps. We are also aggressively pursuing more RAMS members by reaching out to the Emergency Medicine Interest Groups at as many medical schools as we can to help promote what we do at the med student level. I hope to leave behind a larger organization with established resources to raise up the next generation of academicians and leaders in the specialty.

What would you tell a medical student or fellow resident who asked you why he or she should become involved with RAMS? Chances are, you’re going to train at an academic medical center, and hence, you will be an academician for the next three to four years. In today’s world, you’re not restricted to the mentors or the research at only one institution. We can help you connect with programs all over the country to prepare and guide you towards an academic career in our amazing specialty. The earlier you plug in, the more chances you’ll have for leadership, publications, and networking opportunities both at the Annual Meeting and through programs we are actively developing. Simply by joining a committee, you can have a voice heard by thousands through Pulse, get a scholarship

and training to further your own research interests, or help organize an event like some of the exciting ones we are gearing up for in Las Vegas next year (more to come!).

What are the most pressing issues EM residents face in daily life?

SAEM PULSE | SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2018

I think we face one of the more challenging day-to-day jobs from an emotional level, and building resilience is much harder when we face so much more vitriol and frustration from our patients because of things out of our control. Whether your patient is upset about a six-hour wait to be seen or to get an MRI are things out of our control, and I know that I myself can often chafe at being blamed for these things. Institutional and professional burdens coupled with the ever-increasing debt we are asked to take on has an obvious toll on all residents, regardless of specialty, and in my own opinion contributes in a real way to the feeling that it is sometimes “us against them,” which is never a healthy way to approach a workplace.

I think RAMS can help here in some small way by providing resources to aid people in discovering the path they want to take, and the support to help get them there. I think there is also a misunderstanding of us as a specialty, and some stigma that we are not as academically accomplished or skilled—a holdover from previous years, but I think this perception is rapidly changing, especially among residents training today, and I think SAEM and RAMS are helping show that we are becoming a force in all of medicine, both in our practice in and in our academic rigor.

“Wellness” is an inescapable topic these days, and you’ve tackled it during your tenure as chair of the RAMS Wellness Committee. First, how do you personally manage work/life balance? Second, what advice would you give to an individual who was struggling? And finally, what do you think our industry as a whole could do to improve physician well-being?

When it comes to wellness or “resilience,” I feel that I have been blessed in having a supportive family that has helped me manage the balance by encouraging me to have time for myself, whether that’s at the gym, with co-residents, or otherwise. We have a good support network through friends outside of residency, and just as importantly, there is a spousal support network here that has provided my wife and two kids with great friends as well, which has been invaluable in our emotional well-being. While there are certainly shifts where I feel I do not perform to my own internal standard or times when I feel that I am running to catch up to everyone around me, having this support when I get home helps me to deal

"Academic medicine… really is where change comes to all of us." with what I have to on shift. It is extra icing on the cake to have the kind of camaraderie and attending culture we have in our specialty, where everyone is in the mix and hierarchy is much less of a barrier. To those who struggle, I say reaching out to your senior residents and chiefs is a key thing, as they are closer to the struggle than even faculty may be, and simply hearing someone else’s shared experience can help. To the seniors, I would say include everyone you can and make a real effort to check in with those who may be hiding any struggles, and be frank about your own failings. I often tell the story of how horribly I performed on my first central line, trying for an absurd amount of time to cannulate the IJ, and I think being open about how we are all lifetime learners can help reframe the mental approach to the difficulties we face. This in turn can help us approach some patients with confidence rather than dread. Finally, as to what we can do as an industry, I think that now more than ever we need to own the progress we have made and stand up against ever more burdensome measures, requirements, certifications, etc., ad nauseam. One-hour sepsis bundles, the Standardized Video Interview, pushback from insurers, lessening of restrictions on duty hours: all of these things take away from us driving our own course, or worse, adding on weight. By taking away our sense of control, they add to our sense of helplessness. I thought Dr. Talbot’s article on moral injury, which Dr. Michelle Lin tweeted out recently, captured what most doctors struggle with on a core level. Advocacy is a word that sums up what I think we need more than ever before. More doctors speaking out against articles such as the one in The New York Times on tPA in strokes, and not just to other doctors, but the public.

As much as I hate the term “fake news,” what else are we fighting when we let others write about our profession? As national organizations, we need to provide the public with the evidence behind why we may seem to offer something different or less than they expect when they show up at 4am.

Through FOAMed, blogs, articles, or however, we need to educate the public on helping us advocate for physician wellness, because it is in both of our best interests. If we don’t step in, we will find that someone else has.

Any tips on surviving, perhaps even thriving, during residency?

Be involved and engaged. So much opportunity comes from being willing to step in and take a part in things. This is the protected time where you can learn and discuss with experts from your own institution and from across the world using technology. Don’t be afraid to teach ,either. This is where true understanding takes place. And as I said before, be inclusive.

Residents in different years and your ancillary staff are key to surviving and thriving during residency. Keep them close. Lastly, seek out mentors. To borrow an awkward phrase, I have many unknown unknowns, and a mentor is key to helping navigate all stages of a career, so get several. RAMS can help with that!

What made you decide to pursue an MD/PhD rather than just one or the other? How does your PhD inform your practice as a physician?

At that time in my life I was finishing up a degree in biochemistry and was interested in a career where I could have an impact on others. The bridge from “bench-to-bedside” really drew me. Though I am not as involved in basic science research as I was, I have definitely benefitted from training in critical thinking, literature appraisal, writing, and presentation, and have enjoyed trying out medical education research and quality improvement measures during my time at OSU.

Who are some mentors who’ve helped shape your career so far?

I would say that strong mentorship began with my pre-med advisor at Seattle Pacific University. She really saw potential in her students for medicine and encouraged me to try out a research rotation during my junior summer and apply for MD/ PhD programs. At Boston University, the leaders of the MD/ PhD program and especially my PhD mentors Drs. StearnsKurosawa and Kurosawa helped form my excitement in research, publication, and presentation during my time there. While at OSU, Dr. Andrew King, who is one of the RAMS faculty advisors and my own APD, has been instrumental in pushing me toward leadership and medical education as I have tried on new hats at OSU during my brief time here. Now through RAMS, I have access to an amazing network including program directors and research leaders across the nation, for which I am very thankful.

Favorite FOAMed resources?

I think like everyone else, I listen to EMA, EM-RAP, read emdocs. net, and love the literature summaries that pop up on R.E.B.E.L. EM and First 10 EM. Those are my jumping-off points. And of course Pulse and other EM newsletters.

What research topics get you fired up?

I have enjoyed reading about evidence-based medicine research and find clinical and decision-tool research particularly interesting. The idea that you can investigate ways to practice that help us improve patient care and are immediately applicable is one of the most exciting aspects of EM research to me.

Things like the HEART score and PERC rule, evidence-based pain management, etc., are profound ways to impact medicine on a timeline and scale that I have only become more aware of after my PhD. In particular, pain and sepsis management are two topics I always am interested reading about, and are things I have brought into my own practice and education already.

Tell us about a particularly memorable patient encounter you’ve had recently.

I had two patients recently during an off-service ICU rotation who I think will stick with me alongside the traumas and crashing patients I have taken care of, though not because they were medically challenging. One patient was septic from a misplaced

"I think being open about how we are all lifetime learners can help reframe the mental approach to the difficulties we face."

Foley that rapidly resolved after we removed it bedside and replaced it beyond the prostate: a quick, simple procedure, but one in his case that dramatically altered his pain and recovery.

Rarely are the cases so simple to reverse, but he was so grateful on rounds the next two days it was a reminder that many times patients are seeking comfort more than cure. While on that same service, I had another patient who came in ready to be intubated, but who had terminal cancer. In the moment, he was scared, and being the provider on what was to be his last afternoon was a weighty responsibility. Trying to quickly ascertain wishes and put in comfort measures is difficult when done with family; I have had few opportunities to experience how hard it is to look a patient in the eye and come to agree that these will be their last two hours alive. I don’t think I ever will, or ever should, get over how much of an impact I can have on someone as their provider.

If you couldn’t be in medicine, what would be your alternate career?

If I could have any career and succeed at it, I’d love to be the next Rick Steves, happily traveling my way through the world, finding the hidden gems in other countries and sharing them with our family and others. Barring that, I have always had an envy for those who are facile with programming, which I am not, as it affords the chance to create things that can cause real change and affect people’s lives in hugely positive ways, all while being in many cases a work-from-anywhere kind of job. Then again, that can be true in an emergency physician’s life as well!

Would you support your own children becoming emergency physicians? Why or why not?

That is a hard question. If they truly wanted to become EM physicians, I would support them, as I think it is a great career that is endlessly changing and challenging, but I would give them real warning about the financial and lifetime challenges of pursuing a career in medicine. I think there are great ways to contribute to health care such as through being a nurse or paramedic that can afford opportunities we don’t see and where resilience may be more entrenched, and I am looking forward to seeing where each of my boys wants to go in life.

Where do you see yourself in five years? Twenty?

In five years I see myself practicing in a setting where there are leadership and education opportunities. As a family, we are drawn to the West Coast, and I have begun reaching out to places there as senior year progresses. Whether educating medical students, prehospital providers, or other ancillary staff, I think keeping this and leadership a part of my career are important, if not essential, to my resilience. Twenty years from now is much harder to say. I think I would thrive in an academic environment or a mixed site where there are residents but it is not necessarily the main campus hospital, and once our children are out of the house, perhaps we will find ourselves pursuing these things in a different setting altogether. Who knows where emergency medicine will be in twenty years? I don’t, but I’m excited to find out.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION Caring for Persons With Disabilities

By Anika Backster, MD, Cori Poffenberger, MD, and Jason Rotoli, MD

Although commonly thought of only as a health issue, disability is more accurately defined as a complex interaction between physical, intellectual, or emotional impairment with environmental and societal challenges. Individuals with disabilities encounter a variety of daily barriers, including the physical environment (such as wheelchair access) as well as institutional and organizational barriers that hinder access to services. These patients constitute a marginalized population who experience significant disparities related to health care.1,2 Specifically, those with disabilities experience health disparities and greater unmet needs in comparison to the general population when looking at access to preventative care, interpreter services, and prevalence of certain disease processes (arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, oral disease, and stroke).3-8 Traditional beliefs generally associate disability with negative images and experiences. This negativity hinders acceptance, devalues the lives of disabled persons, and undermines possibilities or opportunities for the person who has a disability. At its extreme, stigmatization may result in abuse, neglect and exploitation.

There is literature to demonstrate that the quality of life and quality of care in those with disabilities is negatively influenced by severity of the patients’ self-perception, poor quality nursing care, negative provider attitudes, and provider disability severity perception.3 This becomes important to remember in order to help providers refrain from objectifying a patient with a disability. As health care providers, we should acknowledge and treat the person in his/her entirety and not merely as a disease process. Focusing on the severity of disability or ignoring the true presenting complaint may only perpetuate a lower quality of care which has a negative impact on quality of life. There is also literature to support that improving quality of care may have an even greater impact on improving quality of life than solely changing provider attitudes towards those with disabilities.

What determines quality of life?

A common source of bias or misunderstanding between health care providers and patients with disability relates to differing understandings regarding quality of life. Studies have demonstrated that health care providers overestimate the impact of physical disability on the patient’s quality of life when compared to the patient’s own estimation.9 In one study, 54 percent of patients with moderate to severe disabilities reported having a good or excellent quality of life.10 Quality of life is an individual construct that is highly dependent on a person’s perceptions, hopes, experiences, and ambitions, as well as their culture and social interactions. As health care professionals, we interact with and see patients with disabilities in one tiny microcosm of their world, in the hospital or the clinic, where they are the patient who may be ill or suffering. In this brief interaction and with limited information, we may make negative assumptions about their quality of life. In reality, those with a disability will often tell you that disability and health are not the same thing, and quality of life is not determined in the hospital. We need to be aware of our tendency toward this bias in our approach to patients with disabilities, to ensure that this vulnerable population receives the same treatment as all other populations.

The Power of Words

Another source of bias and misunderstanding is language. The language that physicians use when speaking with patients with disabilities is critically important in establishing rapport and developing a therapeutic alliance based on mutual respect. In general, person-first language is recommended when speaking to or about persons with disabilities. This means that they are persons WITH disabilities, not disabled persons. A child has Down’s syndrome, he is not a “Down’s child.” This structure continued on Page 10

"‌those with disabilities experience health disparities and greater unmet needs in comparison to the general population when looking at access to preventative care, interpreter services, and prevalence of certain disease processes..."

“The language that physicians use when speaking with patients with disabilities is critically important in establishing rapport and developing a therapeutic alliance based on mutual respect.”

REFERENCES

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION from Page 8 recognizes them as a person first, rather than a disability first. In addition, there are many other commonly used terms which should be eliminated in favor of the more appropriate alternatives. For example, instead of “wheelchair-bound,” say “wheelchair-user.” Wheelchairs are tools of mobility and freedom, and we have never seen a patient bound to one.

Instead of “handicapped” in reference to parking spaces or bathroom stalls, use “accessible.” Other inappropriate words include: crippled, lame, spastic, slow, retarded, crazy, dumb, or mute. Do not refer to persons without disabilities as “normal.” And finally, when speaking to patients with disabilities, whether they be physical, intellectual, psychiatric, or developmental, speak directly to them and do not infantilize them. Make eye contact, and presume competence unless you have evidence or data to the contrary.

We can also contribute to establishing rapport by respecting our patients’ expertise. Patients with disabilities possess a lifetime of lived experience with their particular disease or condition. Treating a patient (or a family member) as an expert-by-experience allows the person to be viewed before the disability and shows that you as the physician respect that experience and insight.11 Some tools to communicate respectfully with your patient include: Establishing how they best communicate, speaking directly to the patient, asking if they want their caregiver present, focusing on the patient’s abilities, not their disabilities, and as always, showing warmth and positive regard.

We encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on past encounters with patients with disabilities and to think about how future interactions can be improved. We welcome and invite anyone interested in further pursuing this topic to contact Jason Rotoli.

SGEM: DID YOU KNOW? How to Integrate "Sex and Gender" Into Your Knowledge Base and Teaching Portfolio

By Lauren A. Walter, MD The “SGEM: Did You Know?” article that appeared in the last issue of SAEM Pulse (July-August 2018) detailed the Sex and Gender in Health Education Summit that took place in Salt Lake City in April, 2018. The summit’s goal was to align interprofessional medical educators to combat the lack of sex and gender evidence included in health education. Despite its increasing importance in the practice of medicine, the paucity of curricular inclusion of “Sex and Gender Based Medicine” (SGBM) involves emergency medicine (EM) as well, on all levels, from undergraduate medical education onto residency training and then faculty development. Consistent incorporation of SGBM into EM education is crucial for trainee development as well as optimal patient care.

The good news is that emergency physicians do not have to be experts in SGBM to incorporate the sex and gender lens while providing patient care. There are increasing resources being made available to immediately assist emergency physicians’ knowledge base as well as options to build an updated teaching portfolio with advanced curricular designs that integrate patient sex and gender. The SAEM Sex and Gender in Emergency Medicine Interest Group (SGEM) has accumulated a toolkit of ideas and resources to help the clinician and educator become familiar and proficient with SGBM. Consider how you might incorporate one of the following into your next didactic or clinical shift: 1) U tilize the validated PubMed search tool to find sex and gender specific health articles (it's free!), for your next journal club.1 2) W hen delivering your next bedside teaching pearl, ask your trainees to consider how the case presentation or management might change if the patient were a different sex or gender.

3) W hile preparing your next presentation, challenge yourself to consider and include any relevant SGBM evidence-based medicine as a key objective.

4) Include a transgender patient scenario as part of your next trainee simulation and feature a debrief discussion on the social and health disparities often encountered in this population.

5) Check out one of the several organizational websites dedicated to SGBM for additional, cutting-edge resources (www.sexandgenderhealth.org, http://sgwhc.org, https://www.ossdweb.org, to name just a few!)

ETHICS IN ACTION Ensuring Health Literacy in a Hectic ED

By Naomi Dreisinger, MD The Emergency Department (ED) can be a hectic, harried environment. Patients in the ED spend countless hours being evaluated, undergoing testing, awaiting test results, and hours later, when it is finally time for discharge, the process is often rushed.

After a long stay in the ED, patients are understandably eager to get home, and the ED staff are equally intent on moving things along and freeing up another room. The result, unfortunately, is a discharge that is all-too-brief.

"Without fair and conscientious distribution of health information, health literacy, and therefore health equity, cannot

SAEM PULSE | SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2018

be achieved."

12

In the ED, the discharge process is meant to ensure that patients receive the information they need in order to follow through on their treatment plan.

This usually comes in the form of a quick conversation followed by the patient being sent home with a stack of papers containing detailed and often difficult to understand instructions. As health care providers it is our job to guide our patients so that they can achieve good health.

Diagnosis and treatment are important steps, yet ensuring that patients can get what they need to follow through on the treatment plan is just as important.

Sometimes this means making sure that the patient has the means or insurance coverage to obtain the medications they need. Often though, it means making sure the patient understands the steps they are meant to take once discharged from the ED. In order for patients to achieve their very best health, patients must be able to understand the instructions and information provided to them. In other words, they must be able to achieve a proficient level of health literacy. Health literacy is defined as the degree to which an individual has the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information.

Unfortunately, the information provided to the patient at discharge is often presented in a way that is hard to understand, and the stressful environment of the ED can make it difficult for the patient to focus on listening. To compound matters, ED staff may be inexperienced at effectively delivering important discharge information in the midst of the sometimes-chaotic

"The average literacy in the U.S. is at or below the 8th grade level yet, when analyzed, most of the forms and handout materials given in hospitals are at a 12th grade level." environment that is the ED. This is a set-up for poor communication that may ultimately result in patients not following through on instructions and continued poor health.

Socially disadvantaged groups face an additional obstacle to obtaining good health. Health equity is the value underlying a commitment to reduce and ultimately eliminate health disparity. Without fair and conscientious distribution of health information, health literacy — and therefore health equity — cannot be achieved. The average literacy in the U.S. is at or below the 8th grade level yet, when analyzed, most of the forms and handout materials given in hospitals are at a 12th grade level.

To ensure that all can achieve health equity, the standard of care should be reorienting our communication to the needs of individuals with limited literacy.

Patience and taking the time to answer questions are key factors in health literacy.

It is busy in the ED, yet as clinicians it is our duty to ensure that our patients understand what we are telling them. In my experience, patients are usually reticent to ask questions unless prompted, but taking the time to encourage questions and to patiently answer them — although challenging in a busy ED — is a must do.

Another essential element to ensuring that patients attain health literacy in the ED is teamwork. Every member of the ED staff has a role to play in the discharge process.

How to ensure health literacy in the ED: • Allow time for patients to ask questions; encourage questions with open-ended prompts such as, “What questions do you have?”

• Keep the language in discharge instructions simple and straightforward; no complex medical lingo.

• Speak casually and conversationally, using words at or below a middle school child’s vocabulary • Develop standardized scripts for the most common discharge instructions.

• Focus on the most crucial information, limiting your instructions to one or two of the most important points.

• Verify that the information that’s been delivered is understood.

• Clarify areas/instructions where confusion persists.

Accurate registration information ensures patient follow up; carefully recorded vitals confirm that the patient is ready for discharge; and the physician-nurse tag team reinforce the instructions and allows time for questions and answers. If one of the team falters, the patient’s health literacy is jeopardized.

These techniques work, so before your next patient encounter, pause and remember that your patient’s understanding of the instructions being given to them is the first step in helping them achieve their best health.

"In my experience, patients are usually reticent to ask questions unless prompted, but taking the time to encourage questions and to patiently answer them — although challenging in a busy ED — is a must do."

WILDERNESS EMERGENCY MEDICINE How One Doctor’s Jellyfish Encounter Led to an Effective Sting Treatment

By Isabel M. Algaze Gonzalez, MD Box jellyfish (cubozoans) are the world’s most dangerous class of marine animals.

Their venoms are considered the deadliest in all the seas, and a sting from some species can lead to death in minutes. They are deadlier than cobras1 and have caused more loss of life in the past 50 years than shark bites.

Dr. Angel Yanagihara

"Dozens of nearly transparent tentacles wrapped around her neck, arms, and ankles. Each breath became a gasp.

The pain was

SAEM PULSE | SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2018

almost unbearable."

14

Cubozoa have a complex nervous system and are the only species of jellyfish to have vertebrate type eyes with a retina, lens and capable of color vision. They are strong swimmers and can reach speeds of up to 4.6 mph.

There are more than 40 species of box jellyfish. They are all virtually transparent and range in size from a thimble (Malo kingi, lethal) to a basketball (Chirodropids, the largest). From each of their four lower corners hangs a short stalk, which bears anywhere from one to 15 hollow tentacles, depending on the species.

These tentacles can reach as far as 10 feet (in the Chirodropids) and can contain over 5,000 tiny stinging cells per centimeter that discharge venom in nanoseconds. Once a tentacle of the box jellyfish contacts human skin, thousands of these discharge events happen, deeply injecting venom into the tissue. This is what causes the sting and agonizing pain.

The symptoms of box jellyfish sting are species- and venom-dose dependent and range from mild, local discomfort to agonizing pain and cardiovascular collapse.

Certain box jellyfish stings can kill a person within minutes. Other box jellyfish stings can lead to death in 4 to 48 hours after a sting due to "Irukandji syndrome." This is a complex sequela of symptoms such as hypertension with later hypotension, trembling, and extreme pain. Pulmonary edema and/or intracranial hemorrhage have also been reported in Irukandji Syndrome.3 Common misconceptions about Irukandji Syndrome abound, including that the

condition is caused by only one exotic species of box jellyfish (the “Irukandji” Carukia barnesi) found only in Australia.

In contrast, case reports document that several box jellyfish species can cause Irukandji Syndrome, including the Alatina alata (often called the Hawaiian box jelly) a species that is endemic to U.S. waters in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Florida, and Guam. Alatina alata stings are commonly misdiagnosed (as an allergic reaction or a drowning), frequently underreported, and often improperly treated. Even in places where Irukandji Syndrome has been reported (at present: Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Florida) most clinicians remain unaware of the possibility that one of their patients could have Irukandji Syndrome.

Altogether, there are more than 40 species of box jellies; more than eight are known to cause death. Traditionally, Box jellyfish are most common to Australia, Hawaii, Florida, but they thrive in many habitats occupied by humans, and can be found in just about any warm coastal region, with some species reaching as far north as California, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina and, in a rare event, coastal New Jersey.

There are indications that the prevalence of jellyfish has been on the rise.4 Over the course of a singular weekend in June 2018, lifeguards in Florida treated more than 800 jellyfish stings.5 The causes for this apparent increase are unknown, but many say that jellyfish populations have been thriving due to overfishing, warmer ocean temperatures, and storm water runoff that carries floods of nutrients (food for jellies) into ocean waters.

A Jellyfish Encounter Leads to a Career

Early one morning, while enjoying a milelong swim off the shore of Kaimana Beach, Oahu, Hawaii, Angel Yanagihara was stung by a spawning aggregation of box jellyfish.

Dozens of nearly transparent tentacles wrapped around her neck, arms, and ankles. Each breath became a gasp. The pain was almost unbearable.

Dr. Yanagihara diving with the jellyfish, Alatina alata (sea wasp).

As an experienced swimmer and diver, Angel knew that it was imperative to stay calm and prevent drowning, but her best efforts to overcome the mounting wheezing, extreme radiating pain, and muscle weakness had minimal to no effect.

Yet, with great difficulty, she managed the taxing swim back to shore, where she collapsed on the beach. She awoke in an ambulance. Hers was among 1,000 ambulance calls in Honolulu responding to jellyfish stings that month.

of the literature confirmed that even less was known about the biochemical composition of its venom. But the jellies had met their match and inspired a worthy adversary. Angel Yanagihara, having just defended her doctoral dissertation in neurobiology and biochemistry, was stung weeks before her doctoral graduation. She quickly began applying for funding to study it and thus began her first steps down a career path toward box jellyfish research.

Once stabilized, Angel was given a hot shower, meant to reduce the pain, and declined further care signing out against medical advice. Driving home, the pain returned with a vengeance: intense, fiery burning on her neck and limbs, accompanied by nausea, labored breathing, and dizziness. The venomous creatures left her bedridden and in agony for days.

In the 20 years since her injury, Yanagihara, now a research professor of tropical medicine at the University of Hawaii, has devoted her career to biochemically studying these marine stingers and developing venom inhibitor based therapeutics. Her research ranges from studies of cubozoan venom biochemistry to basic field ecology. Her field efforts in Hawaii have resulted in the longest continuous census data series in the world.

In the weeks after her encounter, Yanagihara, who had no previous experience with jellyfish, was surprised to discover how little research had been published on the box jelly. A survey

SAEM PULSE | SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2018

Dr. Yanagihara found that the box jelly’s venom-induced pathogenic sequelae resembles a sepsis type of shock and, while it mimics an allergic reaction in its presentation, there is no true IgE mediated immunity other than a direct venominduced release of histamine and cytokines caused by specific pore forming toxins structurally similar to pathogenic bacterial porins.6,7 The mechanism is venom porin driven, whereby “perforated” cells spill out storage contents and account for an acute catecholamine surge due to ruptured platelets and later cytokine excess from perforated white blood cells.6 Because this process is not IgE mediated, classical Hymenoptera sting treatment paradigms are not suitable.

Thus, the well-intentioned administration of Epinephrine in the setting of jellyfish sting presentation with catecholamine surge could lead to end organ failure.

Treating Jellyfish Stings Do: The best, evidence-based information supports two-step first aid.6,7,8,9,10

Funding from the U.S. Special Operations Command led to the development of a rapid acting, two-step topical spray and cream for use by combat divers. Famed marathon swimmer, Diana Nyad employed it in 2013 during her record-breaking swim from Havana to Key West. (Box jellyfish prevented Nyad from completing this feat in three of her prior five attempts.)

In keeping with the funding requirements, these treatments are now fully commercialized and available “over the counter.”

These two-step, patented first aid products are currently being compared with conventional approaches including vinegar dousing followed by hot or cold packs in a clinical trial.

1. P revent activation of the undischarged venom filled nematocysts left on the skin after tentacle contact

Dr. Yanagihara continues to travel far and wide to study to study box jellyfish and work on public health outreach focused on education, prevention and mitigation of sting injuries. (In Thailand she is a US State Department Fulbright Specialist.)

Unfortunately, there remain many places worldwide where, due to a lack or delay of medical care, people regularly die from box jellyfish stings, so wherever she goes, Dr. Yanagihara urges doctors to learn everything they can about the box jellyfish and Irukandji Syndrome, and treat stings with the latest recommendations.

Do not: • Rinse with fresh water, cold water, urine, alcoholic drinks or rubbing alcohol

2. S oak the affected area in 42-45°C water (or apply a hot pack) for 20-45 minutes to specifically heat inactivate venom already deposited into the sting-site tissues.

• Apply pressure or ice • Scrape with a credit card, shave with shaving cream, or rub with sand

SOCIAL MEDIA IN ACADEMIC EM #TipsForNewDocs, #TipsForOldDocs

By Eric Lee, MD July is the start of a new academic year.

In medicine, that means a new class of interns and learners. One annual tradition that has emerged from #MedTwitter is #TipsForNewDocs in which more seasoned doctors share tips on how to be a great doctor with the new incoming class of interns. A more recent hashtag that has also emerged is #TipsforOldDocs that features tips directed more towards those in educator roles teaching the new interns.

"The fact that much of the advice that we give to both new and old docs still resonates so strongly with those of us in academic medicine means that we can still put ourselves in the other’s shoes regardless of our current role."

#TipsForNewDocs often features a couple of common important themes in medicine.

One of the most important themes is selfcare. We remind our interns to remember what led them to choose medicine in the first place. Keep doing something nonmedical that makes you happy even when you feel like you’re too busy for it. Don’t be afraid to talk to your seniors and your loved ones during the inevitable difficult times you will encounter.

Another common theme involves pieces of advice to be a great intern. Show up early. Work hard. Never lie. Ask questions.

Ask for help when you need it. That’s actually all you really have to do.

Finally, another important lesson is to be humble. Listen to your nurses and any other members of the care team who have been caring for others longer than you may have been alive. Be nice to everyone and learn their names. #TipsforOldDocs seems to be related to the tips for our new docs. It’s often a reminder to the educators to set an example and follow the advice that we are giving to the new docs in #TipsForNewDocs.

We want to foster an environment for our interns to ask questions, grow, and take care of themselves while they learn to be great doctors. That usually means being the attending/senior resident/consultant that you wanted to work with when you were an intern.

As a new attending this year, I still find reading through tweets from both hashtags informative and inspiring. The tips and advice I find in both threads still resonate with me in my role as a relatively new educator and as a lifelong learner in medicine. The fact that much of the advice that we give to both new and old docs still resonates so strongly with those of us in academic medicine means that we can still

put ourselves in the other’s shoes regardless of our current role. It helps make us both better educators and learners and ultimately better doctors.

Tweeted Tips For Old and New Docs It is August already, but your interns may not have a furnished house yet.

Or utilities in order. Or a car tag, state driver’s license... And some of those things can only be fixed on business days... Be kind and help however you can. #TipsforOldDocs A few times this year, praise from mentors saved my morale. Never forget how little it takes to buoy up a mentee. #TipsforOldDocs Don't indulge the luxuries of cynicism, impatience, unprofessionalism. Trainees are watching and learning. #TipsforOldDocs When they teach you that compressions should be to the beat of "staying alive" they don't mean for you to actually sing it out loud while watching us administer said CPR. Maybe instead use your voice to ask for more epi. #TipsForNewDocs Sometimes there is no quick-fix, gold lining, proven intervention, or right phrase to say. Being a listener and witness to someone's suffering might be the only thing you can do. #TipsForNewDocs The most important piece of equipment when draining a nice juicy abscess: safety glasses.

RAMS TALKS TO LEADING PEDIATRIC EM PHYSICIAN AND RESEARCHER, STACY REYNOLDS, MD "I LOVE THAT PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE IS AN INTERSECTION BETWEEN THE DIAGNOSTIC EXPERTISE OF PEDIATRICS AND THE RESUSCITATIVE SKILLS OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE."

Stacy Reynolds, MD, is the division chief of pediatric emergency medicine at the Carolinas Medical Center and Levine Children’s Hospital as well as the program director for the Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) Fellowship. Dr. Reynolds is a boardcertified pediatric emergency medicine physician, completing her PEM fellowship at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. In 2017, Dr. Reynolds was the lead author on a landmark study, presented at the SAEM annual meeting and selected as the Editor-in-Chief’s Pick of the Month for Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM) journal. The study assesses the feasibility of intranasal ketamine use among pediatric patients with extremity injuries.

The results of this study provided supporting evidence for a largescale, multi-center pediatric trial to assess the safety and efficacy of intranasal ketamine among pediatric population with extremity injuries.

Dr. Reynolds was interviewed by David Cisewski, MD, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and a member of the SAEM RAMS Board.

To start, can you give us a little background on your particular interests in pediatrics emergency medicine and how you got involved in PEM research?

I love that pediatric emergency medicine is an intersection between the diagnostic expertise of pediatrics and the resuscitative skills of emergency medicine. My goal was to be a fellowship director and to bring those elements together for my trainees. After my karmic retribution as a fellowship director began, I realized I now needed to find research for six fellows and provide their research education. My interest in research grew from working to build the program. Honestly, I didn’t have laser focused career interests. I had a certain level of desperation and some great opportunities to get involved.

Could you briefly summarize your work on intranasal ketamine and what lead you to this project?

My husband works internationally in Tanzania and I have had the opportunity to work there with him. In Tanzania, ketamine is not a controlled substance and it is cheaper than in the U.S. It’s the drug most readily available for sedation or analgesia besides paracetamol. The wide therapeutic window of the drug makes it a great ally for treating sick and injured patients in a resource limited environment without monitors. We felt it would be a great asset to EMS providers in the U.S. for these same reasons. I initially pitched this study with my partners in the Charlotte, Houston, Milwaukee Prehospital Research Nodal Center (ChaMP-RNC) of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN). Unfortunately, the regulatory hurdles in the U.S. make prehospital study of the drug extremely complex. We decided instead to perform this trial in the hospital setting.

The results of this study were quite promising. Are you currently involved in any follow up study to complement this research?

We are planning additional follow up work to demonstrate that EMS providers have the knowledge to use ketamine safely in the prehospital setting. A multi-

center, hospital trial will be needed to establish ketamine’s position in the line-up for analgesic medications. Currently, the existing trials are too small to establish non-inferiority and may underestimate the potential for side effects.

What have been the major challenges in your research career as an EM physician–researcher? Do you find certain aspects of research dealing with the pediatric population particularly challenging?

I’m not sure this question belongs in the past tense. It’s incredibly challenging to find time and money for research and I am still cultivating my research expertise. The fiscal pressure in medicine is making it harder to find your way without a structured path into research. Pediatric patients are a vulnerable population, and this makes trial designs more complex and compounds some of the regulatory hurdles.

Recruitment is challenging. For instance, in our ketamine trial we had to design and implement a protocol that allowed us to rapidly screen, enroll, and treat children presenting to our ED in acute pain. To do this, we worked with our institutional review board and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to design a short-form informed consent process that did not significantly delay study drug administration.

What have you found most satisfying about incorporating research to your medical career?

I didn’t really set out to do research. It’s really been by luck that I have had opportunities for internal funding and opportunities to learn with others, including my colleagues in the CHaMP node. I really love the problem solving. I also like the administrative hurdles of getting the folks around you to jump on board and make a study run. It’s fun to cobble together an unexpected opportunity. We’re fortunate to be able to shape the work that we do as emergency physicians.

Not everyone can say that about their job.

Many people find it a daunting task to know where to start in a research career. Did you have a mentor when you first started out your research career?

I was lucky… I found the nicest guy in my department and asked him for help. Ten years later he’s still a great mentor and is now also my husband. Although he occasionally thinks he gets to make all the decisions — that’s when I become his mentor.

What advice would you have for someone seeking out a research mentor?

My route isn’t for everyone. It’s always solid advice to find a kind person that enjoys building up other people and learn as much as you can from them. I would say to surround yourself with good people and work hard to emulate what they’ve built. Jeff Kline, for example, can build a tower out of sand. If you’re looking only for other doctors, you’ll miss some great opportunities. Our research manager, Melanie Hogg, is one of the best mentors I’ve had in my career. I’m grateful to work at a place with a department full of people like her. I trained in Pittsburgh with people much smarter than me and now I am fortunate to work at CMC with a department full of engaged, dynamic people. Mentors are all around you. The question is how much and how often you want to learn.

[Dr. Jeffrey Kline is a professor of emergency medicine and physiology and the vice chair of research at Indiana University and the editor-in-chief of Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM) journal. Dr. Kline is perhaps best known for his creation of the Pulmonary Embolism Rule out Criteria (PERC Rule)] Any specific advice for aspiring research-oriented medical students or residents interested in getting involved in research? continued on Page 20

19

STACY REYNOLDS from Page 19 This depends. If you know you love research, then I’m told you need to pursue dedicated training under skilled mentors with a federal funding track record. However, it’s easy to love research if the most productive person in the department carries you along in their work. You’ll find out your real passion (or not) for research if you flounder around on some dead-end projects and then find that you keep going back. I might say worry less about the perfect pathway and jump in and see what happens.

You impressively divide your time between clinical shifts, research, and your role as a program director of the PEM fellowship. What sort of time management strategies do you use to balance these different roles?

Balance might be the wrong word. I’m not sure my world is ever in balance.

It’s sort of lopsided on a priority driven basis. My time management is an ongoing work in progress, but my skills have grown since I had my girls. I have become considerably more focused and productive during the daytime, so that I am able get home in the evening to my daughters, Ellie and Emma.

Pain management is a hot topic in right now amidst the opioidreduction initiatives, particularly among the pediatric population.

What do you anticipate are the future opportunities in pediatric pain management research?

The physiological pain circuits are complex pathways. It’s not surprising that focusing too heavily on the opioid receptors has led to so many problems.

I think future strategies will target a

broader array of receptors earlier in treatment, with attention to dampening pain as early as possible. We need to streamline the process of recognizing and treating pain by doing a better job assessing pain and measuring the response to interventions. There are countless opportunities to improve our

understanding of pharmacodynamics, mechanisms of pain amplification, the efficacy of analgesic medications, and the operational processes that improve the patient experience without indiscriminate use of medications. We’re fortunate that the timing is excellent to address these types of problems.

RAMS Membership Committee Cr Submitted by David Chu, 2018-2019 RAMS Membership Committee chair The RAMS Membership Committee seeks to identify avenues for acquiring new members in SAEM, creates new member benefits for residents and medical students, and works to ensure that the needs of SAEM’s residents and medical students are met.

Our primary goal when I joined as a member in 2017 was to develop a strong recruitment strategy to engage residents and students in emergency medicine academics and increase membership in SAEM. We took the first steps by creating a National EMIG Roster, a spreadsheet/mailing list which includes direct emails to all EMIG leaders at major medical school institutions across the country.

Our primary goal this year is to increase medical student membership in SAEM. We plan to use the National EMIG Roster to establish RAMS chapters at each EMIG on the list.

ABMS Approves Neurocritical Care Subspecialty

The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) has approved subspecialty certification in Neurocritical Care (NCC). NCC is co-sponsored by the American Board of Anesthesiology

AEM Education and Training is Now Indexed!

AEM Education and Training is now indexed in PubMed Central and all content published since its launch in 2017 is now discoverable within the PubMed and PubMed Central archives!

Thank you and congratulations to AEM Editor-in-Chief, Jeffrey A. Kline, MD, AEM E&T Editor, Susan Promes, MD, and the AEM E&T Editorial Board, reviewers, and authors.

What is PubMed Central?

PubMed Central (PMC) is a free, digital repositorythat archives open access, full-text scholarly articles that have been published within theliterature (biomedical and life sciences journal). Citations for articles deposited in PMC are available on PubMed which is THE search engine forreferences and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics.

How did AEM E&T get in?

In order to deposit all articles in PubMed Central, AEM E&T had to meet scientific quality standards set out by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Library of Medicine (NLM) for acceptance into PMC. One of those requirements was that AEM E&Tpublish at least 25 peer-reviewed research articles. The NLM’s Library Operations Division then decided whether the scientific and editorial scope and quality of the journal merited its inclusion in PMC. And they decided it did!

Why is this a big deal?

Admission into PubMed Central is typically the first indexing milestone for newly published journals.Indexed journals are considered to be of higher scientific quality as compared to non-indexedjournals. PubMed Central indexation will improve the visibility of articles accepted by the AEM E&T and will increase the journal’s exposure for authors and readers.

What’s next?

The Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) / Web of Science (WoS) application was submitted for AEM E&T last fall and we expect a response very soon. The journal is likely to be accepted into the ESCI as an initial step in being considered for the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) which is the index that confers impact factors, so once accepted into the SCIE the journal will be eligible for an impact factor.

23

(ABA), the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM), the American Board of Neurological Surgery, and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). Physicians certified by these four boards who meet the eligibility criteria for NCC will have the opportunity to become certified in NCC. The medical subspecialty of Neurocritical Care is devoted to the comprehensive multisystem care of the critically ill patient with neurological diseases/conditions. The ultimate goal of NCC is to provide optimal care to a unique patient population that simultaneously requires expert management of acute nervous system illness and trauma while integrating all other aspects of critical care medicine. There will be two pathways to certification in NCC: a training pathway and a time-limited practice pathway. The practice pathway will start at the time the first exam is offered. Eligible pathway criteria will be posted on the ABEM website by the end of 2018. ABPN will develop and administer the examination; physicians will submit applications to their primary certifying board. The first examination is expected to take place in either 2020 or 2021. NCC becomes the tenth subspecialty available to ABEMcertified physicians.

SAEM Partners With EM Organizations to Bring Awareness to Physician Suicide

National Physician Suicide Awareness Day September 17, 2018

In order to address the issue of physician suicide, the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD),

in collaboration with SAEM, American Academy of Emergency Medicine, American College of Emergency Physicians, American College of Osteopathic Emergency Physicians, Emergency Medicine Residents Association, Resident Students Association, and Resident Student Organization have come together to dedicate September 17 National Physician Suicide Awareness Day. Estimates are that up to 400 physicians per year take their own lives with the relative risk for suicide being 2.27 among women and 1.41 among men higher than the general population. Each physician suicide is a devastating loss affecting everyone: family, friends, colleagues and up to 1 million patients per year.

It is both a very personal loss and a public health crisis. Vision Zero calls on individuals, residency programs, health care organizations, and national groups to make a commitment to break down stigma, increase, open the conversation, decrease the fear of consequences, reach out to colleagues, recognize warning signs and learn to approach our colleagues who may be at risk. Let us challenge each other as individual, community, institutional and organizational to make changes to reach zero physician suicides. Suicide can be prevented. Be the one to be there.

Shed light on this issue and change the culture of medicine to save lives.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Research Committee: The Right Stuff, at the Right Time, in the Right Place

While research is a core pillar of academic medicine in general, and academic emergency medicine in particular, it is a truism that, even within our relatively small community, research means different things, to different people, at different times. A junior resident with a budding interest in developing an academic career in emergency medicine will clearly have vastly different needs for information, resources, and training than a mid-career, funded, scientist who is considering applying for an NIH k24 Mid-Career investigator award. But even within a given year, any one of us will likely have varying needs and interests related to emergency medicine research.

With thirteen formal objectives and seven additional home-grown projects, the SAEM Research Committee is accountable to the SAEM Board of Directors and the entire membership for tackling and overseeing a host of plans and programs, new and old. Highlighted below are just a small sample of our new or recently developed endeavors:

The “New” SAEM Consensus Conference A longstanding tradition to develop research priorities around important topics in emergency medicine, the SAEM Consensus Conference, starting in 2019, has been reimagined to increase its relevance and value to the SAEM community. The conference will be now overseen by the SAEM Research Committee in close coordination with the SAEM Program Committee. The primary objective is to generate a research agenda for important, unanswered questions facing emergency care that will lead to high-quality, funded research projects of varying scopes and from a variety of funders. The secondary objective of the conference now includes networking, expanding stakeholders, and drawing thought leaders to SAEM Annual Meeting. The format of the conference will change to emphasize

multi-stakeholder engagement and real-time consensus building. New attributes include: 1) de-emphasizing lectures, with a focus on shorter, more interactive sessions; 2) broad recruitment of stakeholders, which can potentially include thought leaders from other disciplines, policy makers, grant funders, patients and community members; 3) incorporating adequate time for both trust-building and networking activities to facilitate subsequent research proposals.

A shorter and streamlined application was developed to facilitate these key aims (deadline was September 1).

We are very excited about the new SAEM Consensus Conference and encourage anyone who may be interested to take a look at the new format.

SAEM National Grand Rounds For the past two years, the Research Committee has sponsored the SAEM National Grand Rounds (NGR) at the SAEM annual meeting. National Grand Rounds speakers are some of the most esteemed and accomplished researchers in academic emergency medicine.

Invited NGR speakers have been given an opportunity to reflect on their careers in a format that isn’t limited to a specific project or topic. Infused with sage advice, and compelling stories about the hiccups and winding paths representing different research careers, the NGR has been a popular and well-received addition to the annual meeting program. Moreover, the National Grand Rounds has specifically been built to incorporate networking with breakout sessions that facilitate interactions between the senior speakers, NIH program officers, and attendees. The Research Committee will be sponsoring the National Grand Rounds for SAEM19, with another slate of exciting and inspiring senior researchers. We hope to see you there at this exciting session.

ARMED and the SAEM Grant Writing Workshop The Research Committee is the home for two of SAEM’s popular and successful training programs for junior faculty, fellows, senior residents and others looking to boost their research chops. Advanced Research Mediations Evaluation and Design (ARMED) is about to kick off its second year of in-person and virtual research skill training. The purpose of this course is to arm participants with the fundamental

knowledge and skills to design a highquality research project and grant proposal to jumpstart their research careers. The course is targeted to assist junior faculty within five years of graduation, fellows, and senior residents who are interested in pursuing a career in research. The SAEM Grant Writing Workshop continues to host a highly rated, day-long training program in grant writing during the annual meeting. The workshop is included in the ARMED curriculum as well and has led to many successful grant federal and other grant applications among attendees.

SAEM Research Learning Series Sponsored by the SAEM Foundation, SAEM offers LIVE online education on popular topics via its Research Learning Series. Designed for novice and midcareer researchers in emergency medicine, these monthly 60-minute sessions feature valuable research content delivered by experts in the field of emergency research. Recent topics have included a, IRB Tips and Tricks, and Building an ED Research Associate Program. The SAEM Research Committee is proud to support this innovative and expanding webinar initiative.

The Research Committee Community Other exciting work led by SAEM Research Committee members include responding to NIH and other federal Requests for Information (RFIs) to address the needs of emergency medicine researchers and our stakeholders, coordinating research related new and rotating didactic sessions at the annual meeting, and partnering with NIH partners to develop content for the annual meeting and beyond. Without this community of 100-plus creative, resourceful, engaged, and committed members and leaders, the SAEM Research Committee could not accomplish any of these valuable and relevant projects. I am privileged to work with and learn from my colleagues on the committee to develop and enhance our ability to deliver the right stuff to our research community at the right time, in the right place. Please check out our objectives and projects or contact Research Committee chair, Zachary Meisel, MD, if you have questions or interests related to the committee’s mission. zfm@upenn.edu. @zacharymeisel
