Big news for emergency medicine residencies! The ACGME is proposing several major changes to EM program requirements. To comply with these new requirements, programs would need to be 4 years long.

How would they affect the curriculum and training for future EM physicians? To answer these questions, we sit down with UC Davis EM Program Director and medical education specialist, Dr. Aaron Danielson. What do you think of these proposed changes?

In the second episode of our advocacy mini series with Dr. Anna Yap, we dive into the critical intersection of emergency medicine and immigration health. As emergency physicians, we frequently care for undocumented patients, asylum seekers, and refugees—individuals who face significant barriers to medical care, including fear, cost concerns, and language obstacles.

Many of our ED patients come in because they were told to. Whether it’s by an advice nurse, primary care provider, urgent care, call center, specialty coordinator, etc., it often feels to us like the default is “go to the ED”. But, of course, that’s not the case. There are myriad reasons why patients may be sent to the ED. In this episode, we talk with two of our favorite outpatient physicians - a Pediatrician and an Internist - about when and why they refer patients to the ED, as well as what they do to try to keep them out of the ED!

Managing pregnant patients in the ED can be stressful - especially because you have (at least) two patients to think about! Emergency physicians are generally comfortable managing first trimester emergencies but are less familiar with complications in the later stages of pregnancy. It is these complications that contribute in part to the maternal health crisis in the US. In this episode, we delve into the realm of obstetric emergencies in the ED with Dr. Jenna White, an EM physician with a special interest in OB. She introduces us to resources developed by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) to help ED providers identify common pathologies and navigate high-stakes scenarios, including screening for cardiovascular disorders, managing hypertension, and tackling the dreaded eclampsia. How does your ED manage OB emergencies? Have you implemented the ACOG algorithms?

Navigating breastfeeding as an EM physician In the previous two episodes, we explored some of the challenges related to fertility and pregnancy for EM physicians. In the final episode of our three part series, we take it one step further to discuss yet another challenge: breastfeeding. Of course, fed is always best, and there are many reasons to formula feed, but providing breastmilk is very important to many families. For EM physicians, choosing to breastfeed usually means figuring out how to pump and store milk while you’re on shift. This can be daunting, especially for residents and junior physicians. How do you find time to sneak away? Is there an easily accessible pumping room close by? Will you feel supported by colleagues and your department? We cover these questions and much more with experts, Dr. Claire Abramoff, and Dr. Shada Rouhani. Does your ED have policies to support breastfeeding and pumping?

Pregnancy is common during medical training and in the early years as an attending physician, as these stages often align with individuals’ reproductive potential. The experience can vary widely depending on factors such as workplace dynamics, scheduling, and the physical demands of the job. But let’s be real - running around a busy ED while carrying extra weight, feeling nauseated (maybe vomiting), and managing all of the physical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy is a real challenge that many of us have lived. There are numerous considerations to navigate, from how we wish to be perceived as a team member to the risks posed by the workload on our bodies. Additionally, departmental or hospital policies may have financial implications that further complicate the situation. Join us as and Dr. Katren Tyler - EM physician and mother of two - as we break it all down. This the second episode in our three part series on infertility, pregnancy and breastfeeding as an Emergency Physician. If you missed it, go back and check out part 1!

If you practice in emergency medicine you probably live on the look out for sepsis. You likely follow the 2016 Sepsis-3 guidelines for adults which really was a paradigm shift from an infection-associated SIRS, to infection-associated organ dysfunction with the SOFA score or sequential organ failure assessment score of at least 2 points in patients with suspected infection. However, the definition of sepsis in kids was not updated at that time in part because SOFA was not studied in children. That means that our current pediatric guidelines are from 2005! Good news though! The Phoenix sepsis criteria for sepsis and septic shock in children were derived and validated by the international SCCM Pediatric Sepsis Definition Task Force and we interviewed two of the task force members to help us operationalize it on our podcast.

People living with sickle cell disease can experience severe “pain crises”, or vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE), and are at increased risk for infections, strokes, heart failure, and other serious disease processes. When patients are out sickle cell present to the ED, it is crucial to initiate their evaluation and treatment as soon as possible. So what does this mean practically for us as clinicians? Hematologist and Sickle Cell expert, Dr. Bimpe Adesina, and Emergency Physician and researcher, Dr. Bryn Mumma, join us to explore this topic in depth. In part 1, we delved into assessment and management of patients presenting with VOE. In part 2, we spoke with Dr. Chris Rees about the benefits of early opioid pain control for kids presenting with VOE.

People living with sickle cell disease can experience severe “pain crises”, or vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE), and are at increased risk for infections, strokes, heart failure, and other serious disease processes. In this 3 part series, we’re talking with experts to learn more about sickle cell disease and its complications and how we can best advocate for and treat these patients in the ED. In part 1, we delved into assessment and management of patients presenting with VOE. In this episode, we focus specifically on kids presenting with VOE. We know these patients have usually exhausted their home pain control options and are still in excruciating pain when they arrive in the ED. We interviewed Dr. Chris Rees about his recent paper on the benefits of treating kids with VOE with an initial dose of intranasal fentanyl. The results are pretty impressive!

In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. This decision, known as the Dobbs decision, Overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the right to abortion that had been upheld for decades. In the wake of this decision, many states have passed laws banning or severely restricting abortion. So how does this affect our patients and the care we provide in the ED? How is it different in protected estates compared to restricted states? Join us for a deep dive into the health implications of recent changes in reproductive health policy with expert, Dr. Amy Paris.

***Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of child abuse*** In our last episode, Identifying abuse: the LCAST app, we talked about recognizing subtle signs concerning for child abuse and how to use the new LCAST app to determine the risk of non-accidental trauma. But identifying potential abuse is just the first step in a long and often emotionally taxing process. How do you approach parents or caregivers with your concerns? What do you do if a caregiver doesn’t want to cooperate with your extended work-up? What information should you share with them? And how do we avoid bringing our own biases into the room? These are tough conversations. Our guest experts, Dr. Emily Fain and Dr. Elena Duma, and our own Dr. Julia Magaña are experts in this field. They walk us through how to approach these conversations in a compassionate and straightforward manner, centering the safety of the child as everyone’s primary concern. How do you approach these challenging conversations?

In March of this year, we published a Rebeat of one of our most powerful episodes, It Could Have Been Different. We took a deep dive into one of the most difficult aspects of our jobs as emergency physicians - recognizing and managing child abuse, or non-accidental trauma (NAT). Signs of abuse can often be subtle, but there are some very specific findings that should make us consider NAT. Our guest expert, Dr. Mary Clyde Pierce, helped us learn to identify NAT using the TEN-4 FACESp clinical prediction rule. In this episode, Dr. Pierce returns to discuss the new LCAST app developed by Lurie Children’s Hospital to help clinicians identify NAT. We love this app! It’s quick and easy to use - and it’s even better than using the decision rule alone. Listen to the episode to hear why! Have you tried the LCAST app?

It’s been a while since we talked about social media in emergency medicine and a LOT has changed! We first explored this topic in 2019 with Dr. Meghan Ranney in our episode With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility. The following year, the pandemic hit and digital platforms exploded while many people isolated themselves or worked from home. Add in complications including the spread of disinformation, the rise of hate speech, Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, and the emergence of new platforms, and the landscape today looks very different. To help us understand how to navigate the current world of social media, including the benefits and potential pitfalls, we spoke with digital media expert, Lauren Suedkamp.

It’s time for another Repeat! This is one of our earliest episodes and it is a favorite because of one woman’s powerful story. Annika Huff (formerly Annika Mack) is a survivor of human trafficking. She speaks with us about her experiences in the life, how she got out, and how she was able to move on with her life. Then, Dr. Bryn Mumma takes us through her research on how we can better identify potential victims in the ED. Dr. Rachel Robitz shares some advice on how to approach patients who may be trafficked, create a safe space, and offer support and resources. And, finally, our own Dr. Julia Magaña discusses how she manages this in pediatric patients. Stay tuned for our next episode for important new research and updates!

One of our quintessential roles as emergency physicians is managing and securing the emergent airway. This can be a life or death moment for the patient and often gets our own adrenaline pumping - it’s not a procedure we take lightly. Airway management in the ED can be complicated by physical and situational factors (beards, trauma, vomit), resource limitations, and our own emotional state. We sat down with emergency airway expert, Dr. Verena Schandera, to get the latest and greatest on airway management. Have you had to manage a particularly difficult airway?

It’s time for another Rebeat! We’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes from our very first season. The opioid epidemic is still very real and there are some new challenges with fentanyl as the predominant opioid on the street. But we’ve gained experience with medication assisted treatment (MAT) and it is now even easier to prescribe treatment for opioid use disorder. The Rebeat has been edited to reflect some of these changes, and our next episode will provide an update on MAT. Now on to the Rebeat… Let’s talk about the opioid crisis. One woman tells her powerful story of opioid addiction, treatment, and recovery.

As emergency physicians, we are no strangers to firearm violence and its consequences. We explored this topic with renowned expert, Dr. Garen Wintemute, in our January 2019 episode, #thisismylane. Most physicians feel strongly that we have a role in gun violence prevention, but many of us aren’t sure what we can do in our daily clinical practice to make a difference. That’s why Psychiatrist Dr. Amy Barnhorst and her colleagues at the California Firearm Violence Research Center at UC Davis developed the BulletPoints Project. BulletPoints is a resource for clinicians and medical educators who are committed to firearm injury prevention. We’ve covered how to APPROACH patients about gun safety and ASSESS risk, now we learn how to ACT. In the final episode of our series, Dr. Barnhorst explains what we can do as physicians to help mitigate risk. We’ll talk about options, including temporary transfer of firearms to a safe party, psychiatric holds when appropriate, and “red flag” laws that allow for emergent removal of firearms in extremely high risk situations. Have you ever had a patient you felt was high risk intentional to accidental injury due to firearms? How did you act to reduce that risk?

As emergency physicians, we are no strangers to firearm violence and its consequences. We explored this topic with renowned expert, Dr. Garen Wintemute, in our January 2019 episode, #thisismylane. Most physicians feel strongly that we have a role in gun violence prevention, but many of us aren’t sure what we can do in our daily clinical practice to make a difference. That’s why Psychiatrist Dr. Amy Barnhorst and her colleagues at the California Firearm Violence Research Center at UC Davis developed the BulletPoints Project. BulletPoints is a resource for clinicians and medical educators who are committed to firearm injury prevention. In the third episode of our gun violence prevention series, we delve into the second step of BulletPoints: ASSESS. Do you talk to your patients about guns? What’s your approach?

For most physicians, talk of court, lawyers, or subpoenas brings on a rush of anxiety. The medical and legal worlds can overlap in many ways. In this five part series, we’ll cover everything from the basics, to being a percipient or expert witness, to the dreaded malpractice lawsuits. Joining us as Guest Host, is Dr. John Rose, Professor of Emergency Medicine at UC Davis. In the fifth and final episode of our series, we explore the role of expert witness with our own experts, Dr. Jim Holmes and Dr. David Barnes. We get into what it takes to be a medical expert and what to expect when you meet with the legal team and work through a case. There are benefits to being an expert witness, but it can also be a stressful and time consuming endeavor. Is it right for you? Have you acted as an expert witness?
