    "DescriptionSummary": "The proposed research project will investigate the relationship between diastolic dysfunction and adverse outcomes in patients with sepsis. In order to investigate this, we will focus on assessing the strength of the correlation between diastolic parameters and sepsis severity within the first 24 hours of admission; exploring the relationship between diastolic function at presentation, its change during resuscitation, total volume of IV fluid received, and in-hospital and 28-day mortality; and larger volumes of IV fluid administered to patients with abnormal diastolic function at presentation will lead to progressive decline in diastolic function during hospitalization and will be associated with increased in-hospital and 28-day mortality.",

    "DescriptionSummary": "The objective of this study is to evaluate a simulation based assessment of procedural competence in central line placement for practicing attending physicians at two academic settings.  Aim one is to assess attending physicians on procedural skill using a previously published checklist, and determine the reliability of the checklist.  Aim two is to compare the checklist score of attending physicians in different practice environments. Aim three is to evaluate feasibility of this format of evaluation as part of the yearly OPPE process at the respective institutions.  These descriptions of a central line checklist would allow an objective measure that could be incorporated into current ongoing professional practice evaluations with future potential for inclusion in initial certification examinations.",

    "DescriptionSummary": "Team leadership is a critical skill for emergency medicine physicians and directly impacts the quality of patient care. Failures in team leadership contribute to over 50% of sentinel (adverse) events in healthcare. Accreditation boards for both undergraduate and graduate physician trainees emphasize the importance of team leadership. Despite efforts to increase training and proficiency in this essential skill, determining competency is limited by the lack of a valid and reliable emergency medicine team leadership assessment tool.",

A focused cardiac ultrasound (FOCUS) of the right heart can be used at the bedside to assist in the diagnosis and prognosis of PE; particularly in critically ill patients. FOCUS evaluation may include evaluating right heart enlargement, hypokinesis (including septal flattening and McConnell’s sign), and tricuspid regurgitation. ",

Existing validated tools for faculty focus on an entire rotation or year and are summative in nature. These types of evaluations are useful in providing a comprehensive assessment of the faculty’s teaching skills, but they are usually lacking in specific feedback which may cause faculty to view it as unusable.",

Why medical students choose to enter a medical specialty has important ramifications for the physician workforce, patient care, and issues of representation in the field. Studies focused on medical career choice, including Emergency Medicine, have generally employed self-report survey approaches to identify predictors of career interest.  ",
