Demographics and Fellowship Training of Residency Leadership in EM: A Descriptive Analysis
Josh Greenstein, MD, et al.
Emergency medicine (EM) fellowships are becoming increasingly numerous, and there is a growing trend among EM residents to pursue postgraduate fellowship training.
Medical Student Documentation in the Electronic Medical Record: Patterns of Use and Barriers
Kathleen Wittels, MD, et al.
Electronic health records (EHR) have become ubiquitous in emergency departments. Medical students rotating on emergency medicine (EM) clerkships at these sites have constant exposure to EHRs as they learn essential skills.
Efficient and Effective Use of Peer Teaching for Medical Student Simulation
Joseph B. House, MD, et al.
Simulation is increasingly used in medical education, promoting active learning and retention; however, increasing use also requires considerable instructor resources.
Characteristics of Real-Time, Non-Critical Incident Debriefing Practices in the Emergency Department
Nur-Ain Nadir, MD, MEHP, et al.
Benefits of post-simulation debriefings as an educational and feedback tool have been widely accepted for nearly a decade. Real-time, non-critical incident debriefing is similar to post-simulation debriefing, however, data on its practice is limited.
Continuing Medical Education Speakers with High Evaluation Scores Use more Image-based Slides
Ian Ferguson, BA et al.
Although continuing medical education (CME) presentations are common across health professions, it is unknown whether slide design is independently associated with audience evaluations of the speaker.
Exploring Scholarship and the Emergency Medicine Educator: A Workforce Study
Jaime Jordan, MD, et al.
Recent literature calls for initiatives to improve the quality of education studies and support faculty in approaching educational problems in a scholarly manner.
The Cost and Burden of the Residency Match in Emergency Medicine
Aaron M. Blackshaw, MD, et al.
In order to obtain a residency match, medical students entering Emergency Medicine (EM) must
complete away rotations, submit a number of lengthy applications, and travel to multiple programs
to interview.
Differences in Self-expression Reflect Formal Evaluation in a Fourth-year Emergency Medicine Clerkship
Alternate Title
Michael Chary, MD, PhD, et al.
Medical schools have begun to incorporate self-reflection exercises into their curricula, with the belief that these exercises help students master the material more deeply and perform better. Reflection may be a potential learning tool for Emergency Medicine, but there are few data supporting this hypothesis. The authors evaluated the relationship between a linguistic marker of the degree of reflection after a student’s shift in an emergency department and that student’s clerkship performance.
