Background and Objectives

Free open access medical education (FOAM) has become an essential tool for emergency medicine (EM) education and can be valuable to clinicians as a point-of-care resource. The development of the revised Medical Education Translational Resources Impact and Quality (rMETRIQ) tool provides a standardized means of quality assessment. Previous entries of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine systematic online academic resource (SOAR) series have focused on renal, endocrine, and sickle cell disorders. In this iteration, we strive to identify, curate, and describe FOAM topics specific to acute gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses.

Methods

We searched 389 keywords across 11 GI topics that were modified from the 2019 Model of the Clinical Practice of EM (EM Model) using the search engine Google FOAM and within the top 50 websites listed on Academic Life in Emergency Medicine's Social Media Index. The sites underwent preliminary screening to eliminate resources that were not relevant to EM or GI illnesses. Identified resources were evaluated with the rMETRIQ tool by five board-certified EM physicians who received rMETRIQ tool rater training.

Results

After duplicates of the initial 39,505 resources were eliminated, 8059 remained. Primary screening resulted in a final 1202 resources. The most common categories were large bowel (18%), small bowel (13%), stomach (11%), esophagus (11%), biliary (11%), and liver (10%). Many resources covered multiple topics and subtopics. The final mean intraclass correlation coefficient among the five physicians was 0.95 (95% CI 0.92–0.98) for rMETRIQ scoring. We identified 256 sites considered “high quality” with a rMETRIQ score of 16 or higher as designated in prior reviews.

Conclusions

This iteration of the SOAR review resulted in the highest number of high-quality resources compared to other SOAR reviews, with 21% of resources thus far scoring ≥ 16. A final list of high-quality resources can guide trainees, educator recommendations, and FOAM authors.

背景与目标免费开放医学教育（FOAM）已成为急诊医学（EM）教育的重要工具，并可作为临床医生的宝贵资源。经修订的医学教育转化资源影响与质量（rMETRIQ）工具为质量评估提供了标准化手段。急诊医学学术学会系统性在线学术资源（SOAR）系列的前几期主要关注肾脏、内分泌和镰状细胞疾病。在这次迭代中，我们将努力识别、整理和描述急性胃肠道疾病（GI）特有的 FOAM 主题。方法我们使用谷歌 FOAM 搜索引擎，在急诊医学学术生活社交媒体索引列出的前 50 个网站中搜索了 11 个胃肠道主题中的 389 个关键词，这些主题是根据 2019 年急诊医学临床实践模型（EM 模型）修改而来的。这些网站经过初步筛选，剔除了与急诊医学或消化道疾病无关的资源。由五名接受过 rMETRIQ 工具评测员培训的经董事会认证的急诊科医生使用 rMETRIQ 工具对确定的资源进行评估。结果在剔除了最初的 39,505 个重复资源后，还剩下 8059 个。初筛最终得到了 1202 个资源。最常见的类别是大肠（18%）、小肠（13%）、胃（11%）、食道（11%）、胆道（11%）和肝脏（10%）。许多资源涵盖多个主题和子主题。五位医生对 rMETRIQ 评分的最终平均类内相关系数为 0.95（95% CI 0.92-0.98）。我们确定了 256 个 rMETRIQ 得分为 16 分或更高的 "高质量 "网站，这些网站在之前的评测中被指定为 "高质量 "网站。结论与其他 SOAR 评审相比，本次迭代 SOAR 评审产生的高质量资源数量最多，迄今为止有 21% 的资源评分≥16。高质量资源的最终清单可以为受训者、教育者建议和 FOAM 作者提供指导。

Background

Gender disparities in emergency medicine (EM) persist, with women underrepresented in leadership positions and faced with unique challenges, such as gender discrimination and harassment. To address these issues, professional development programs for women have been recommended.

Objectives

The purpose of this scoping review was to examine current women's professional development programs for EM and develop a collection of program characteristics, meeting topics, and tips for success that can be useful to new or existing women's professional development programs.

Methods

The authors systematically searched research databases for literature detailing current women's professional development programs for EM physicians. Studies detailing professional development programs for female physicians in EM were included.

Results

After 149 unique articles were screened, 11 studies met inclusion criteria, describing 10 professional development programs for women in EM. The most commonly cited program objectives included providing mentors and role models (n = 9, 90%), offering career advice and promoting professional advancement and leadership skills (n = 5, 50%), increasing academic recognition for women (n = 4, 40%), and promoting work–life balance and integration (n = 2, 20%). The most common topics covered in program sessions included mentorship and coaching, compensation and/or negotiation, leadership skills, and career advancement and promotion. Challenges and barriers to the success of these programs included a lack of funding and support, difficulty in recruiting participants, lack of institutional recognition and support, lack of time, and difficulty in sustaining the program over time.

Conclusions

The study's findings can inform the development of programs that promote gender equity and support the advancement of women in EM.

背景急诊医学（EM）中的性别差异依然存在，女性在领导岗位上的人数不足，并面临着独特的挑战，如性别歧视和骚扰。为解决这些问题，建议为女性提供职业发展计划。目的本次范围界定综述旨在研究目前针对急诊科的女性职业发展项目，并收集项目特点、会议主题和成功秘诀，以便对新的或现有的女性职业发展项目有所帮助。方法作者系统地搜索了研究数据库中详细介绍目前针对急诊科医生的女性职业发展计划的文献。其中包括针对急诊科女医生的职业发展项目的详细研究。结果在筛选了 149 篇文章后，有 11 项研究符合纳入标准，介绍了 10 项针对急诊科女性的专业发展项目。最常引用的项目目标包括提供导师和榜样（9 项，占 90%）、提供职业建议并促进专业进步和领导技能（5 项，占 50%）、提高女性的学术认可度（4 项，占 40%）以及促进工作与生活的平衡和融合（2 项，占 20%）。计划课程中最常见的主题包括导师和辅导、薪酬和/或谈判、领导技能以及职业发展和晋升。这些计划取得成功所面临的挑战和障碍包括缺乏资金和支持、难以招募参与者、缺乏机构认可和支持、缺乏时间以及难以长期维持计划。结论研究结果可以为制定促进性别平等和支持提高妇女在教育管理中的地位的计划提供参考。

Background

Mass casualty incident (MCI) triage simulation is an increasingly useful tool for teaching triage systems to medical students, trainees, and hospital staff. MCI simulation in the prehospital setting has not yet been studied in this population.

Objectives/Aims

We aimed to assess the effectiveness of a prehospital MCI simulation in medical students, residents, and fellows. Our primary outcome was knowledge of the components of the triage algorithms used in MCI response. Our secondary outcome was each participant's confidence level if required to assist with or lead a MCI response.

Methods

This was an observational study with pre–post surveys. We recruited 30 medical students, 14 emergency medicine (EM) residents, and four pediatric EM fellows to fill out a survey before and after a 3-h simulation session practicing the START and JumpSTART algorithms on two prehospital MCI scenarios.

Results

Overall, all groups demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge of triage colors, information needed to assign a triage color, pediatric airway management during a MCI, and indications for breaths-first CPR. They also demonstrated significant increase in confidence both in assisting with and in leading a MCI response.

Conclusions

Simulated practice triaging patients in prehospital MCI scenarios improves knowledge of triage algorithms and increases confidence in assisting with or leading a MCI response in medical trainees.

背景大规模伤亡事件（MCI）分诊模拟是向医科学生、受训人员和医院员工教授分诊系统的一种越来越有用的工具。目前尚未对院前环境中的 MCI 模拟进行研究。目的我们旨在评估院前 MCI 模拟在医学生、住院医师和研究员中的效果。我们的主要结果是了解 MCI 反应中使用的分诊算法的组成部分。我们的次要结果是每位参与者在需要协助或领导 MCI 响应时的信心水平。方法这是一项采用前后调查的观察性研究。我们招募了 30 名医科学生、14 名急诊医学（EM）住院医师和 4 名儿科 EM 研究员，让他们在两个院前 MCI 情景中练习 START 和 JumpSTART 算法的 3 小时模拟课程前后填写调查问卷。结果总体而言，所有小组在以下方面的知识都有显著提高：分诊颜色、分配分诊颜色所需的信息、MCI 期间的儿科气道管理以及呼吸第一心肺复苏术的适应症。他们在协助和领导 MCI 响应方面的信心也明显增强。结论在院前 MCI 情景中对患者进行分诊的模拟练习可提高医学受训者对分诊算法的了解，并增强其协助或领导 MCI 反应的信心。

Objectives

There is no standardized protocol for performing educational point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) that addresses patient-centered ethical issues such as obtaining informed consent. This study sought to define principles for ethical application of educational POCUS and develop consensus-based best practice guidance.

Methods

A questionnaire was developed by a trained ethicist after literature review with the help of a medical librarian. A diverse panel including experts in medical education, law, and bioethics; medical trainees; and individuals with no medical background was convened. The panel voted on their level of agreement with ethical principles and degree of appropriateness of behaviors in three rounds of a modified Delphi process. A high level of agreement was defined as 80% or greater consensus.

Results

Panelists voted on 38 total items: 15 related to the patient consent and selection process, eight related to practices while performing educational POCUS, and 15 scenarios involving POCUS application. A high level of agreement was achieved for 13 items related to patient consent and selection, eight items related to performance practices, and 10 scenarios of POCUS application.

Conclusions

Based on expert consensus, ethical best practices include obtaining informed consent before performing educational POCUS, allowing patients to decline educational POCUS, informing patients the examination is not intended to be a part of their medical evaluation and is not billed, using appropriate draping techniques, maintaining a professional environment, and disclosing incidental findings in coordination with the primary team caring for the patient. These practices could be implemented at institutions to encourage ethical use of educational POCUS when training physicians, fellows, residents, and medical students.

目的目前还没有针对以患者为中心的伦理问题（如获得知情同意）的护理点教育性超声波检查（POCUS）标准化协议。本研究旨在确定教育性 POCUS 的伦理应用原则，并制定基于共识的最佳实践指南。方法一位训练有素的伦理学家在医学图书馆员的帮助下查阅文献后编制了一份问卷。召集了一个包括医学教育、法律和生物伦理学专家、医学受训人员和无医学背景人员在内的多元化小组。小组成员通过三轮改良德尔菲程序，就他们对伦理原则的认同程度和行为的适当性进行投票。高度一致被定义为 80% 或以上的共识。结果小组成员共对 38 个项目进行了投票：其中 15 项与患者同意和选择过程有关，8 项与实施教育性 POCUS 时的做法有关，15 项涉及 POCUS 应用场景。13个与患者同意和选择相关的项目、8个与执行实践相关的项目以及10个涉及POCUS应用的场景均达成了高度一致。结论根据专家共识，最佳伦理实践包括：在实施教育性 POCUS 之前获得知情同意；允许患者拒绝接受教育性 POCUS；告知患者该检查并非其医疗评估的一部分且不收费；使用适当的铺巾技术；保持专业的环境；与护理患者的主要团队协调披露偶然发现。各医疗机构在培训医生、研究员、住院医师和医科学生时，可采用这些做法来鼓励合乎道德地使用教育性 POCUS。

Introduction

Emergency medicine (EM) has historically been among the most competitive specialties in the United States. However, in 2022 and 2023, 219 of 2921 and 554 of 3010 respective National Resident Matching Program positions were initially unfilled. Medical students’ selection of a medical specialty is a complex process. To better understand recent trends in the EM residency match, this qualitative study explored through one-on-one interviews the rationale of senior medical students who seriously considered EM but ultimately pursued another specialty.

Methods

A convenience sample of senior medical students from across the United States was recruited via multiple mechanisms after the 2023 match. Participant characteristics were collected via an online survey. Qualitative data were generated through a series of one-on-one semistructured interviews and thematic analysis of the data was performed using a constant comparative approach.

Results

Sixteen senior medical students from 12 different institutions participated in the study. Thematic saturation was reached after 12 interviews but data from all 16 interviews were included for qualitative analyses. Five major themes emerged as important in students’ consideration but ultimate rejection of EM as a career: (1) innate features of EM attracted or dissuaded students, (2) widespread awareness of a recent workforce report, (3) burnout in EM, (4) their perception of EM's standing in the health care landscape, and (5) early EM experience and exposure.

Conclusions

This qualitative study identified five major themes in the career decisions of senior medical students who seriously considered EM but chose another specialty. These findings may help inform the perceptions of students and guide future EM recruitment efforts.

引言急诊医学（EM）历来是美国竞争最激烈的专业之一。然而，在 2022 年和 2023 年，分别有 2921 个和 3010 个国家住院医师配对计划职位中的 219 个和 554 个最初未填补。医学生选择医学专业是一个复杂的过程。为了更好地了解最近新兴医学住院医师匹配的趋势，本定性研究通过一对一访谈，探讨了认真考虑过新兴医学但最终选择了其他专业的高年级医学生的理由。方法在2023年比赛结束后，通过多种机制从美国各地招募高年级医学生作为方便样本。通过在线调查收集参与者的特征。通过一系列一对一的半结构化访谈获得定性数据，并采用恒定比较法对数据进行主题分析。结果来自 12 所不同院校的 16 名高年级医学生参与了研究。在进行了 12 次访谈后，主题达到饱和，但所有 16 次访谈的数据都被纳入定性分析。在学生考虑但最终拒绝将医学作为职业时，有五大主题：（1）医学的先天特征吸引或劝阻了学生；（2）对最近一份劳动力报告的广泛认识；（3）医学中的职业倦怠；（4）他们对医学在医疗保健领域地位的看法；（5）早期的医学经历和接触。结论这项定性研究发现了高年级医学生职业决定中的五大主题，他们曾认真考虑过电磁学，但最终选择了其他专业。这些发现可能有助于了解学生的看法，并指导未来的 EM 招聘工作。

Background

Combined clinical and research training is common in residency programs outside emergency medicine (EM), and these pathways are particularly valuable for combined MD/PhD graduates planning to pursue a career as a physician-scientist. However, EM departments may not know what resources to provide these trainees during residency to create research-focused, productive, future faculty, and trainees may not know which programs support their goal of becoming a physician-scientist in EM. The objective of this study was to describe research training and resources available to MD/PhD graduates in EM residency training with a focus on dedicated research pathways.

Methods

This study was a cross-sectional inventory conducted through an electronic survey of EM residency program directors. We sought to identify dedicated MD/PhD research training pathways, with a focus on both resources and training priorities. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize survey responses.

Results

We collected 192 survey responses (69.6% response rate). Among respondents, 41 programs (21.4%) offered a research pathway/track, 52 (27.4%) offered a research fellowship, 22 (11.5%) offered both a residency research pathway/track and a research fellowship, and two (1.0%) offered a dedicated EM physician-scientist training pathway. Most programs considered research a priority and were enthusiastic about interviewing applicants planning a research career, but recruitment of physician-scientist applicants was not generally prioritized.

Conclusions

Some EM residency programs offer combined clinical and mentored research training for prospective physician-scientists, and nearly all residency programs considered research important. Future work will focus on improving the EM physician-scientist pipeline by optimizing pathways available to trainees during residency and fellowship.

背景在急诊医学（EM）以外的住院医师培训项目中，临床与研究相结合的培训很常见，这些培训途径对于计划从事医生-科学家职业的医学博士/博士联合毕业生尤其有价值。然而，急诊医学系可能不知道在住院医师培训期间应为这些学员提供哪些资源，以培养注重研究、富有成效的未来教师队伍，学员也可能不知道哪些项目支持他们成为急诊医学科的医生科学家这一目标。本研究的目的是描述医学博士/博士毕业生在急诊科住院医师培训中可获得的研究培训和资源，重点是专门的研究途径。方法本研究是通过对急诊科住院医师培训项目主任的电子调查进行的横断面调查。我们试图找出专门的医学博士/博士研究培训途径，重点关注资源和培训优先事项。我们使用了描述性统计来总结调查回复。结果我们共收集到 192 份调查回复（回复率为 69.6%）。在回复者中，41个项目（21.4%）提供了研究途径/方向，52个项目（27.4%）提供了研究奖学金，22个项目（11.5%）同时提供了住院医师研究途径/方向和研究奖学金，2个项目（1.0%）提供了专门的急诊科医生-科学家培训途径。大多数项目认为研究是优先事项，并热衷于面试计划从事研究工作的申请人，但一般不优先招聘医生-科学家申请人。结论一些急诊科住院医师培训项目为未来的医生科学家提供临床和指导研究相结合的培训，几乎所有的住院医师培训项目都认为研究很重要。今后的工作重点是通过优化住院医师和研究员培训期间受训者的途径来改善急诊科医生-科学家的渠道。

急诊医学（EM）历来是一个竞争激烈的专业，但在 2022 年和 2023 年，国家住院医师匹配计划（NRMP）的主要住院医师匹配（以下简称 "匹配"）结果却发生了突变。未填补的住院医师职位从平均0.48%（2012-2021年）增加到7.4%（2022年）和18.4%（2023年），使得46%的急诊科住院医师项目在2023年面临职位空缺。潜在因素可分为三个方面：职位供应过剩、学生对 EM 需求不足以及招聘过程中存在的问题。我们可以从住院医师电子申请服务（ERAS）、NRMP和毕业后医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）的公开数据，以及Thalamus（一个毕业后医学教育面试管理平台，代表了约25%的EM项目；"Thalamus"）的数据和NRMP与Thalamus达成的数据共享协议（"NRMP/Thalamus"）中获得有关EM当前挑战的关键信息。从 2014 年到 2023 年，The Match 中的 EM 项目从 170 个增加到 287 个（69%），1 其中包括 50 个过渡到 ACGME 的美国骨科协会项目。同期，通过新项目的贡献和现有项目的扩展，EM职位从1786个增加到3010个（69%）。1, 2A 在2019年至2021年申请者稳步增加之后，2022年和2023年，全科和骨科申请者大幅减少，其中全科申请者的降幅最大（图1）。在过去两个Match周期中，所有类型申请人的申请总数同比下降了约17%（ERAS战略与amp的电子邮件通信；参与总监Michele Oesterheld，2023年5月）。总之，ERAS中几乎所有2023年的EM申请人都需要通过EM匹配来填补现有职位，这是不现实的。在过去两年中，约有30%的电磁学申请人还申请了至少一个其他专业（ERAS试点管理主任Jayme Bograd的电子邮件，2022年10月），其中一些人更喜欢其他专业（NRMP/Thalamus）。其他申请人可能在学术上遇到困难、签证、执照或证书问题，阻碍了许多机构对他们的考虑。这些数据清楚地表明，电磁学申请者与现有职位之间存在供需不匹配的情况。一个主要的问题是，到 2030 年，预计将有 7845 名急诊科医生过剩，这将限制未来的就业前景。7 虽然在许多地区仍将存在急诊科工作岗位短缺的问题，8 但在选择培训和执业地点时，地理因素会促使大多数人做出决定。1 无论最初的劳动力研究的假设是否成立，8 最初报告的影响可能不会迅速减弱。从 20 世纪 80 年代末到 90 年代初，麻醉科住院医师职位激增。1994 年的一项劳动力评估预测未来将供过于求。到 2000 年，IMGs 已占美国麻醉医师毕业人数的一半以上。9 直到 2001 年的数据预测麻醉医师队伍将出现严重短缺时，麻醉医师的申请总人数才开始恢复。2011 年对麻醉科劳动力的重新评估显示，麻醉科的入职率仍低于 1993 年的水平，并预计由于培训职位的进一步收缩，劳动力短缺将持续存在。9 从麻醉科推断，在学生对未来工作机会充满信心之前，他们对急诊医学的兴趣不太可能增加。改变面试行为并不能解决这一问题。未来 Match 周期的改善需要学生兴趣的改变。急诊医学必须解决其不利因素，包括劳动力预测和工作环境。我们必须让申请者了解选择急诊医学职业的诸多好处。我们需要支持我们的培训计划，在计划规模方面做出艰难的决定，并应对机构和国家政策的变化：研究概念和设计、手稿起草、对手稿中重要的知识性内容进行批判性修改、分析和解释数据。Laura R.

Objectives

Our study aims to better understand and describe the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) leadership in emergency medicine (EM) by identifying the prevalence of department DEI leadership positions, their demographics, and their job duty characteristics.

Methods

We disseminated an electronic survey from April to July 2022 to Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Association of Academic Chairs of Emergency Medicine, Academy for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Medicine, and the Equity and Inclusion Committee to identify department DEI leads. From July to August 2022, a 45-question survey was sent to all identified DEI leaders on individual characteristics, DEI experience, and DEI lead job description.

Results

We received a response from 79 out of 120 academic EM departments identified (65.8%). Of the responding institutions, 59 (74.7%) reported a DEI leader. A total of 74.6% of these DEI leaders responded at least partially to our survey and 57.6% responded in full. The most common titles were vice/associate chair of DEI (34.4%), director of DEI (28.1%), and DEI committee chair (18.8%). Most respondents (84.4%) were the inaugural DEI lead in their department and 84.4% of respondents did not have a formal DEI role in their department previously. On average, respondents have had their DEI title for 2 years (range 0–7 years) with an average of 7 years (range 0–30 years) of experience performing DEI work. Many (63.4%) do not receive any funded effort for their DEI roles. Most DEI leads were not tenure track (72.2%) and most commonly at the rank of assistant professor (47.2%) followed by associate professor (33.3%), full professor (16.7%), and instructor (2.8%).

Conclusions

This is the first known study to assess the characteristics of DEI department leaders in EM. EM DEI leadership positions are new, common, and led by diverse personal identities and are often not funded. Future directions could gain qualitative insight into this workforce to guide best practices in EM DEI leadership.

目的我们的研究旨在通过确定急诊医学（EM）部门多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）领导职位的普遍性、其人口统计学特征及其工作职责特征，更好地了解和描述急诊医学（EM）多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）领导的现状。方法我们于 2022 年 4 月至 7 月向急诊医学学术协会（SAEM）急诊医学学术主席协会、急诊医学多样性与包容性学会以及公平与包容性委员会分发了一份电子调查表，以确定部门的多样性、公平与包容性领导。从 2022 年 7 月到 8 月，我们向所有确定的 DEI 领导者发送了一份包含 45 个问题的调查问卷，内容涉及个人特征、DEI 经验和 DEI 领导者的工作描述。结果在确定的 120 个电磁学术部门中，我们收到了 79 个部门（65.8%）的回复。在回复的机构中，有 59 个（74.7%）机构报告有一名 DEI 领导。其中，74.6%的DEI负责人至少部分回复了我们的调查，57.6%的负责人回复了全部内容。最常见的头衔是发展信息副主席/副主任（34.4%）、发展信息主任（28.1%）和发展信息委员会主席（18.8%）。大多数受访者（84.4%）是其所在系的首任 DEI 领导，84.4%的受访者以前在其所在系没有担任过正式的 DEI 职务。平均而言，受访者担任 DEI 职务已有 2 年（0-7 年不等），平均有 7 年（0-30 年不等）的 DEI 工作经验。许多受访者（63.4%）的 DEI 工作没有得到任何资助。大多数 DEI 负责人不是终身教职（72.2%），最常见的职级是助理教授（47.2%），其次是副教授（33.3%）、正教授（16.7%）和讲师（2.8%）。结论这是已知的第一项评估电磁学系主任特点的研究。EM DEI领导职位是新设的，很常见，由不同的个人身份领导，而且往往没有资金支持。未来的研究方向可以对这支队伍进行定性分析，以指导电磁学DEI领导力的最佳实践。

Objective

Fellowship training is increasingly popular among residency graduates and critical to the advancement of academic emergency medicine (EM). Little is known about the clinical hours worked and financial compensation received by fellows during training. We sought to describe the clinical duties and financial compensation of EM fellows at U.S. academic centers.

Methods

This cross-sectional study surveyed U.S. academic EM department administrators who were members of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine's Academy of Administrators in Academic Emergency Medicine (AAAEM) regarding their fellowship programs and fellows. We electronically distributed the validated survey instrument to 73 member sites between October 2022 and January 2023. Survey domains included fellow and fellowship demographics, base and total annual clinical hours, and base and total annual compensation. We calculated descriptive statistics and compared fellows by accreditation (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education [ACGME] or non-ACGME) using chi-square and Wilcoxon rank-sum testing. We conducted a secondary analysis of base and total salary by gender and accreditation using Wilcoxon rank-sum testing.

Results

We received 38 institutional responses (response rate 52%), which represented 217 individual fellows. Nearly three-fourths (n = 158, 72.8%) of fellows enrolled in non-ACGME fellowships, worked 33% more base hours annually than ACGME fellows (median 571 h vs. 768 h, p < 0.001), and received base compensation 20% higher than ACGME fellows ($88,540 vs. $70,777, p < 0.001). Accounting for additional compensation, the median total annual compensation for non-ACGME fellows remained 11% higher than ACGME fellows ($105,000 vs. $93,853, p = 0.004). We observed no significant differences salary when stratified by gender.

Conclusions

Most EM fellows at U.S. academic institutions enrolled in non-ACGME fellowships with significantly higher base hours and financial compensation than ACGME fellowships. These results represent the first description of the clinical hours and financial compensation of academic EM fellows and should be considered in ongoing benchmarking efforts by AAAEM.

目的研究员培训在住院医生毕业生中越来越受欢迎，对急诊医学（EM）的学术发展至关重要。人们对研究员在培训期间的临床工作时间和经济报酬知之甚少。我们试图描述美国学术中心急诊科研究员的临床职责和经济报酬。本横断面研究调查了美国学术急诊医学会（Society for Academic Emergency Medicine）的学术急诊医学行政人员学会（AAAEM）成员中的急诊医学学术部门行政人员的研究金项目和研究员情况。我们在 2022 年 10 月至 2023 年 1 月期间以电子方式向 73 个会员站点分发了经过验证的调查工具。调查领域包括研究员和研究员的人口统计学特征、基本和年度总临床时间以及基本和年度总报酬。我们计算了描述性统计数字，并使用秩和检验和 Wilcoxon 秩和检验比较了不同认证（毕业后医学教育认证委员会 [ACGME] 或非 ACGME）的研究员。我们使用 Wilcoxon 秩和检验对不同性别和评审的基本工资和总工资进行了二次分析。结果我们收到了 38 个机构的回复（回复率为 52%），代表了 217 名研究员。近四分之三（n = 158，72.8%）的研究员参加了非 ACGME 研究项目，每年的基本工作时间比 ACGME 研究员多 33%（中位数为 571 小时 vs. 768 小时，p < 0.001），基本报酬比 ACGME 研究员高 20%（88,540 美元 vs. 70,777 美元，p < 0.001）。考虑到额外报酬，非 ACGME 研究员的年总报酬中位数仍比 ACGME 研究员高 11%（105,000 美元对 93,853 美元，p = 0.004）。我们观察到，按性别划分的薪酬差异并不明显。结论美国学术机构的大多数急诊科研究员都参加了非 ACGME 研究项目，其基本工作时间和经济补偿明显高于 ACGME 研究项目。这些结果首次描述了学术急诊科研究员的临床时间和经济补偿，AAAEM在进行基准测试时应加以考虑。

Introduction

Sexual and gender minorities (SGM) make up 4% of the Canadian population. Due to existing barriers to care in the community, SGM patients may seek more help and be sicker at presentation to hospital. Paramedics occupy a unique role and can remove or decrease these barriers. There are no existing evaluations of training programs in SGM health for prehospital providers. A training program to develop better allyship in paramedics toward SGM populations was developed and assessed.

Methods

A 70- to 90-min mandatory, asynchronous, online training module in SGM health in the prehospital environment was developed and delivered via the emergency medical service (EMS) system's learning management system. A before-and-after study of cisgender, heterosexual, frontline paramedics was performed to measure the impact of the training module on the care of SGM patients. The validated Ally Identity Measure (AIM) tool was used to identify success of training and includes subscales of knowledge and skills, openness and support, and oppression awareness. Demographics and satisfaction scores were collected in the posttraining survey. Matched and unmatched pairs of surveys and demographic associations were analyzed using nonparametric statistics.

Results

Of 609 paramedics, 571 completed the training, and 239 surveys were completed before and 105 (n = 344) surveys after the training; 60 surveys were paired. Overall AIM scores of matched pairs (n = 60) improved by 12% (p < 0.001), with knowledge and skills accounting for most of the increase (21%, p < 0.001). Unmatched pairs (n = 344) were similar in demographics and scores. Rural paramedics also had significantly lower pretraining oppression awareness scores and had lower posttraining AIM scores compared to suburban paramedics (6% difference). Satisfaction scores rated the training as relevant and applicable (87% and 82%, respectively).

Conclusions

A novel prehospital training program in the care of SGM patients resulted in a statistically significant increase in allyship in cisgender, heterosexual-identified frontline paramedics.

导言性与性别少数群体（SGM）占加拿大人口的 4%。由于目前社区中存在的医疗障碍，SGM 患者可能会寻求更多帮助，并且在入院时病情会加重。辅助医务人员扮演着独特的角色，可以消除或减少这些障碍。目前还没有针对院前医疗人员的 SGM 健康培训计划的评估。我们制定并评估了一项培训计划，旨在培养医护人员对 SGM 群体的友好关系。方法针对院前环境中的 SGM 健康问题开发了一个 70 到 90 分钟的强制性异步在线培训模块，并通过紧急医疗服务 (EMS) 系统的学习管理系统进行交付。为了衡量培训模块对 SGM 患者护理的影响，我们对顺性、异性、一线护理人员进行了一项前后对比研究。经过验证的 "盟友身份测量"（AIM）工具用于确定培训是否成功，该工具包括知识和技能、开放性和支持以及压迫意识等分量表。培训后调查收集了人口统计数据和满意度评分。使用非参数统计法对匹配和非匹配的调查对和人口统计学关联进行了分析。结果在 609 名护理人员中，有 571 人完成了培训，培训前完成了 239 份调查，培训后完成了 105 份（n = 344）调查；有 60 份调查是配对的。配对组合（n = 60）的 AIM 总分提高了 12% (p < 0.001)，其中知识和技能占提高分数的大部分 (21%, p < 0.001)。不匹配的对子（n = 344）在人口统计学和分数方面相似。与郊区护理人员相比，农村护理人员在培训前的压迫意识得分明显较低，培训后的AIM得分也较低（相差6%）。满意度评分认为培训具有相关性和适用性（分别为 87% 和 82%）。结论一项针对 SGM 患者护理的新颖院前培训计划使顺性、异性身份的一线护理人员的同盟关系有了统计学意义上的显著提高。
