The purpose of this study was to complete a comprehensive analysis of gender differences in faculty rank among U.S. emergency physicians that reflected all academic emergency physicians. Female academic EM physicians are less likely to hold the rank of associate or full professor compared to male physicians even after detailed adjustment for other factors that may influence faculty rank.
Dr Nathan Olson discusses his team's article in the January 2019 AEM E&T issue, "Faculty Assessment of Emergency Medicine Resident Grit." We subsequently hear from Dr Annahieta Kalantari, who wrote the accompanying commentary piece in the same issue.
Two to five percent of patients with ACS are inappropriately discharged from the ED each year, despite our best efforts, which showcases the need for clinical decision tools that work. Dr Zack Lipsman interviews first author Dr Shannon Fernando about his recent meta-analysis in AEM, "Prognostic Accuracy of the HEART Score for Prediction of Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Patients Presenting with Chest Pain." Thirty studies are included in this meta-analysis.
