Patients with (LEP) have been shown to experience disparities in (ED) care. The objectives of this study were to examine the LEP and irregular ED departures and return ED visits. We interview senior author Dr. Derick Jones about this new AEM paper. 

Emergency care workforce concerns have gained national prominence given recent data suggesting higher than previously estimated attrition. With little known regarding characteristics of physicians leaving the workforce, this paper sought to investigate the age and number of years since residency graduation at which male and female EM physicians exhibited workforce attrition.  We speak with primary author Dr. Cameron Gettel. 

General emergency physicians provide most pediatric emergency care in the United States yet report more challenges managing emergencies in children than adults. Recommendations for standardized pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) curricula to address educational gaps due to variations in pediatric exposure during emergency medicine (EM) training lack learner input. This study surveyed senior EM residents and recent graduates about their perceived preparedness to manage pedi- atric emergencies to better inform PEM curricula design.
