"DescriptionSummary": "Our preliminary work on COVID-19 has already established that ED providers are experiencing significant acute psychological distress. In a survey of 657 clinicians, conducted in April 2020, we found rates of acute stress (65%), depression (53%), anxiety (36%), and insomnia (70%) in ED clinicians. Seventy-four percent reported fear of transmitting COVID-19 to family members, and 68% reported lack of availability of COVID-19 testing as highly distressing. In the proposed SAEM study, we will examine the prevalence and predictors of psychological distress in ED clinicians working during the COVID-19 pandemic.",

"DescriptionSummary": "The community of micro-organisms that inhabit the human nasopharynx, known as the nasopharyngeal microbiome, is known to interact with respiratory viruses and influence how the host initially responds to infection and potentially influence disease course. How it interacts with SARS-nCOV2, the virus that causes COVID19 is may have important effects on the virus ability to establish a productive infection and host’s response to the virus. We hypothesize that there will be changes in the nasopharyngeal microbiome associated with active COVID-19 infection and that some nasopharyngeal microbiome features will predict progression to severe disease.",

Existing evidence indicates medical students and graduates recognize their need for financial literacy and financial planning competency, but lack knowledge and perceive that they lack access to credible unbiased financial advising. My training and experience in financial advising for trainees has enabled me to prepare and deliver lectures in financial education for physicians that have been well received, but I recognize that an asynchronous curriculum would enhance our ability to fuller reach our community. The goal of the study is to provide completely free, unbiased information about student loan management, retirement planning, and budgeting that would be aimed at ascertaining if we can change behavior and attitudes about personal finance. The curriculum will be best suited to medical students, residents, and junior faculty but components of the curriculum may be beneficial to more senior faculty as well. ",
