Conferences
The Division of Emergency Medicine is committed to education in the specialty through a comprehensive didactic curriculum to complement bedside teaching. Our divisional academic conference is held each Thursday. Fellows are protected from clinical responsibilities to participate each week.
A typical Thursday consists of:
- Fellows’ Tutorial- an interactive clinical conference led by select Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) faculty members, covering core PEM topics over a three-year curriculum
- An in situ multidisciplinary mock code in which fellows participate by writing simulation cases, serving as resuscitation team leaders and debriefing the scenarios.
- Academic division meeting, which includes clinical discussions, evidence-based medicine sessions, ultrasound workshops, morbidity and mortality, guest speaker and research sessions for faculty and fellows.
- Afternoon sessions for fellows providing dedicated curricula in quality improvement methodology and research, point of care ultrasound, evidence-based practice and research methods.
Fellows are provided with supplemental conferences throughout the year, including, difficult airway, cadaver lab and procedural courses, regional base camp, regional teaching and evidence-based medicine workshops, wellness workshops, debriefing workshops and a longitudinal research methods course. Additionally, fellows are supported to attend the national PEM Fellows Conference and one additional national meeting each year.
