About this Grant

The mission of CDEM is six-fold:

1. To advance the education of medical students as it pertains to the specialty of emergency and acute care medicine.
2. To serve as a unified voice for EM clerkship directors and medical student educators on a national level.
3. To provide a forum for EM clerkship directors and medical student educators to communicate, share ideas, and generate solutions to common problems.
4. To foster undergraduate medical education research and provide a platform for collaboration.
5. To foster the professional development and career satisfaction of EM clerkship directors and medical student educators.
6. To foster relationships with other organizations to promote medical education.

The proposed project for the grant should innovatively address one of the six areas of the mission and be able to be shared across those teaching undergraduate Emergency Medicine. Areas of innovation can include teaching, assessment or faculty development, and should advance understanding or best practices of these or other areas. Additionally, the grant recipient should study this innovation in some way: validity, effectiveness, etc.
