Consensus Conference Virtual Meeting

SAEM24: Creating a Diverse and Sustainable Emergency Medicine Investigator Pathway

Thursday, August 29, 2024, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM CT

Join the Consensus Conference Virtual Meeting as we continue our discussion begun at our SAEM24 event. This meeting is open to all interested participants, whether or not you attended our in-person event.

Purpose

The purpose of this consensus conference is to develop a comprehensive program (toolkit) aimed at creating a sustainable and diverse pathway of federally-funded clinician-scientists in the specialty of emergency medicine (EM). The scope of the plan will include strategies and tactics that specifically focus on undergraduates, medical students, residents, fellows, early career faculty, and mid-career faculty. It is anticipated that implementation of the plan will enable our specialty to meet or exceed our 2030 strategic goals for EM research.

Learning Objectives

• Identify the barriers to attracting a diverse research-oriented cohort of trainees to the specialty of EM.
• Identify the barriers to developing and supporting a diverse cohort of EM clinician-scientists at each level of career development.
• Create a consensus list of strategies and prioritized tactics to develop and support EM clinician-scientists at each level of career development.
• Identify who will be responsible for implementation of the proposed strategies and tactics.
