There are many skills required of EM clerkship directors (CDs), such as developing a curriculum that covers learning objectives, training residents and faculty to reliably assess students, and providing sound career advice. CDs are also beholden to many stakeholders, including the medical school, the department, and students as learners and advisees. Additionally, as part of their role, CDs are responsible for maintaining and documenting compliance with accreditation standards, especially during Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) visits. This workshop will address vital skills for running a successful clerkship and how to navigate common pitfalls.

Bringing the Outside In: Incorporating Wilderness Medicine Into Your Curriculum (Wilderness Medicine Interest Group Sponsored)
This workshop teaches the fundamentals of resource-limited medicine and practical ways to implement a wilderness medicine (WM) curriculum. Sharpen your decision-making skills based on history and physical exam using intuition (as opposed to technology), improvised medical care, and incorporating environmental factors on topics less commonly seen in the emergency department (e.g., lightning, toxic plants, and altitude illness). Rotating small groups will teach hands-on skills and instructional techniques. Participants will then design activities to take back to their institutions.

Education scholarship is essential for promotion of faculty and for investigating and disseminating new educational practices. With very little faculty development devoted to medical education research, educators often fall behind on scholarship. The ability to identify well-designed study questions, situated within appropriate conceptual frameworks, is key. Outcomes should strike a balance between feasibility, meaning, and importance. This workshop will engage participants in all aspects of medical education research, from concept to publication.

Simulation Hacks: Building and Validating Do-it-yourself Models (Simulation Academy Sponsored)
Virtually no department/residency has an unlimited simulation budget. Due to the high costs of commercial simulations, replacement tissue and supplies, simulators must improvise and develop DIY models for various clinical procedures. This is especially true for high-acuity low-occurrence procedures. This workshop specifically teaches how to build models and where to look for specific replacement hacks. It also discusses strategies for converting innovations into scholarship and research.

Ultrasound-guided Nerve Block (AEUS Sponsored)
Pain is one of the most common issues causing patients to present to the ED. In light of the opioid epidemic, a multi-modal approach to controlling pain is ideal with the use of non-opioid medications and ultrasound guided nerve blocks. In addition to controlling pain, these blocks can also help with a wide range of procedures, ranging from laceration repairs, abscess drainage to chest tube placement. Taught by a group of ultrasound leaders from across the country with specialized expertise in nerve blocks, this workshop will further advance emergency care through procedural education allowing providers to feel more confident performing ultrasound guided nerve blocks when treating acute and chronic pain or when performing procedures. Hands-on practice will be emphasized during this workshop.

Beyond Microaggressions: Upstander Training for Allyship
ER physicians see large patient volumes with variable acuity and interact with assorted personalities. We encounter macro and microaggressions at work, though there is little formal training at many institutions on bystander response and creating a culture that encourages source control. In this workshop, attendees will learn foundational knowledge on microaggressions, identify their own implicit biases and practice strategies for response. Attendees will be better equipped to serve as allies, to provide effective source control and to train residents on these concepts.

World Health Organization Basic Emergency Care Training of Trainers (GEMA Sponsored)
This course is co-sponsored by the SAEM Global Emergency Medicine Academy (GEMA). In response to the need for emergency care education in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the WHO BEC TOT course was developed by the World Health Organization in conjunction with the International Committee for the Red Cross. Participants will learn how to teach this course to frontline healthcare providers in LMICs through case scenarios within small groups, lectures, skills stations that provide hands-on practice and interactive large group discussions.

Consensus Conference 2023: Precision Emergency Medicine Setting a Research Agenda
Research is needed to understand how to best implement precision emergency medicine in an effective and equitable manner. In the 2023 Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Consensus Conference, Precision Emergency Medicine: Setting a Research Agenda, we will convene experts and thought leaders from academia and the technology sector to examine the key catalysts of precision emergency medicine, identify implementation challenges, and develop an actionable 10-year research agenda with relevant patient-centered outcomes.

Excellence in clinical and didactic teaching is critical, yet many faculty have not had formal teaching training. This short, intensive, easily accessible course covering fundamental topics in EM clinical and didactic teaching may provide a solution to this dilemma. During this newly designed medical education boot camp, expert educators will utilize interactive and experiential educational techniques to work with faculty on the fundamentals of teaching through facilitated discussions, application and practice.

Become an Excellent Peer Reviewer (Research Committee and Evidence-Based Healthcare & Implementation Interest Group Sponsored)
In addition to providing an overview of peer review, this workshop teaches how to perform excellent peer reviews through an exercise to enhance basic critical appraisal skills. Participants will divide into small groups to review three medical research studies (one publishable, one that can be improved and one that is clearly not publishable). Each small group will select specific items that can be modified to improve each study and make them acceptable for publication. Following successful completion, participants will be paired with faculty mentors to improve their individual performance of peer reviews.

Developing Effective Education for the Next Generation (RAMS and Simulation Academy Sponsored)
Next generation is coming -- are educators ready? Each generation is shaped by its cultural experiences, leading to characteristic preferences for learning. This four-hour workshop will equip educators with teaching methods to engage the Gen Z learners who will increasingly comprise emergency medicine trainees. In small groups, educators will discover, discuss and apply strategies to manage common instructional challenges arising from Gen Z learning expectations, with an emphasis on simulation’s unique pedagogical strengths for this learner group.
