Machine Learning Series #4 ML Implementation and Business Incentives
In this final session of the ML Speaker Series, we'll guide you through the the incentives governing ML project viability, project monitoring, and how to design project outcomes/endpoints successfully. This session will be the capstone to our series this year, and teach you the fine details of translating your QA improvement ideas into a project that survives the test of time. With our expert panel of EM doctors, health IT business leaders, and other luminaries, you'll get a great basis for understanding why ML algorithms succeed or fail after their creation.
Watch Now!Getting Started in EM Research
Join us for a session with emergency medicine research faculty, residents, and medical students to explore ways to get started in research. Whether you are measuring your medical education intervention to performing public health work, this panel will discuss ways to use research to explore your passions. We will discuss mentorship, project design, and the entire process from idea to publication.

EMRA Fellowship Guide
Chapter 21 Research Fellowship
Emergency medicine research fellowships are a non-ACGME-accredited post-graduate training opportunity for emergency medicine (EM) residency graduates interested in pursuing a career in basic and clinical research. The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) has approved a subset of eligible research fellowships that have met a number of milestones based on predetermined guidelines. Fellows who complete a research fellowship at a SAEM-approved site receive a certificate of approval upon completion. Emergency medicine is a dynamic specialty that relies heavily on evidence-based medicine to guide everyday practice. EM is an ideal specialty for studying acute emergencies with a broad mix of patients and conditions. The proportion of academic faculty involved in research and the proportion of studies published in emergency medicine journals that have research funding has been climbing (Karras, 2006 and Birkhahn 2006). Emergency medicine research is growing quickly, and fellowship training has been one successful pathway to increase EM research success.
Emergency Medicine Research Handbook for Residents and Medical Students
Published: December, 2012This handbook is the result of over two years of discussion within the EMRA Research Committee about how to assist emergency medicine residents and medical students who are just getting started in research. The scholarly project that all emergency medicine residents are obligated to complete during residency is an opportunity to get your feet wet in research, discover answers to clinical questions you may encounter in your practice, and maybe even find meaningful mentorship that will outlast residency

Case-Con Applications Due
Herd of Zebras! Case-con at ACEP We’ve all had the experience of seeing a notable patient case in the ED; whether it’s that diagnostic mystery that has puzzled you since your first EM medical school rotation, or that unusual presentation of what turned out to be a staple EM diagnosis that you saw as a resident last week. Seeing new things (or familiar things presenting in novel ways) is one of the rewarding aspects of practicing EM at any career stage. Turn your interesting experience into a chance to present original research on a national stage! Case Reports are among the most accessible forms of research, whether you’re a seasoned researcher or hoping for your first publication. Case-Con applications are due July 14th! Apply Now! Case-Con will take place on Sunday, September 29, 2024, from 1 - 5 pm Pacific Time at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV
