Intubation in ED vs OR: same technical skills, completely different worlds. Chaos, unpredictability, and high emotions change everything about EM airway management decisions. We need to rethink how we're training EM residents for these real-world critical situations. #ICEM2025

<40% of EM research integrates sex/gender into data analysis - critical gap in #MedEd & practice. Labs, disease risk, & drug dosing vary by sex/gender - but we're not consistently accounting for differences. ✅Time to close the gap! #ICEM2025

“Emergency medicine isn’t failing because we stopped caring — it’s failing because we’re being asked to care in broken systems.” – Dr. @PaulAtkinsonEM Compassion isn’t a luxury — it’s a clinical skill. Read more from his #ICEM2025 plenary: icem2025.com/post/from-crisi…

📚 Facts fade, but stories stick. Teaching through patient narratives, our learners don't just memorize symptoms—they experience the human side of medicine. Mary’s journey with cerebral malaria will outlast any textbook definition. Stories create memories. #ICEM2025 #MedEd

Most powerful lessons for med trainees? It’s okay to be fallible. Showing vulnerability as educators—admitting mistakes, saying “I don’t know”—we give learners permission to be human. Growth mindset > superhero complex Excellence comes from curiosity, not perfection. #ICEM2025

Creating psychological safety in EM education isn't just nice-to-have—it's essential for learning. When learners feel safe to ask questions, admit uncertainty, or discuss near-misses, we build better clinicians. Fear of judgment kills curiosity. Curiosity saves lives. #ICEM2025

AI transforming #MedEd - virtual patients, personalized learning, instant dx feedback. We could train better doctors—but must navigate data privacy, algorithmic bias, and ensure human judgment remains central. Balance innovation with responsibility. #ICEM2025

Many challenges in educating our educators - most junior training rotations taught by faculty OUTSIDE of emergency medicine. Knowledge is channeled through staff - need a global effort to develop and mentor ALL faculty to become better teachers. #ICEM2025 #MedEd
