Our new paper explores how pass/fail grading has created a "shadow economy of effort," as medical students engage in extracurricular activities to compete for residency positions, often at the expense of clinical skill and well-being. @Midwest_MedPeds journals.lww.com/academicmed…

It is with absolute profound sadness that CAEP has learned of the sudden passing of Past President Dr. Jill McEwen. Dr. McEwen was an Emergency Medicine legend who broke down barriers forging a path for female Emergency Physicians in the generations that followed her. 🧵

In the PARAMEDIC-3 trial involving adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, an intraosseous-first strategy for vascular access did not result in a higher incidence of 30-day survival than an intravenous-first strategy. Full trial results: nej.md/48uYv4A #RESUS24

Researchers at MIT have questioned whether SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound) actually work. They suggest we might get better outcomes if we make our goals FAST (frequently discussed, ambitious, specific and transparent) not SMART.

Emergency physicians are the most flexible, adaptable, resilient professionals I know. The qualitative comments in this article, while not surprising, are heartbreaking evidence of a remarkable group being pushed well past a breaking point. annemergmed.com/article/S019… @CMA_Docs

Check out the latest paper by CCEDRRN, published #OpenAccess in Vaccine. One of the spare keys of this project: Self-reported vaccination status correlated well with BC vaccination data (kappa 0.88). This may obviate the need for linkage w/ vaccination registries in large studies
Our study in #Vaccine found that ED datasets can be used to estimate vaccine effectiveness in #COVID19. ~3500 patients, VE >80% against ED visit x 5 mo, no difference in subgroups. EDs may be good source of VE data, but need pre-planned linkages w/ public health between pandemics
