“…Researchers are now beginning to study novel sex- and gender-specific perspectives in the areas of acute care research, including the specific area of traumatic injury and resuscitation. 2 However, these studies have significant limitations, including their retrospective design and the use of data from large trauma registries. 3 Furthermore, systematic reviews and meta-analyses on sex disparities in trauma sample only a small amount of the total literature published, which skews the conclusions.…”

Traumatic injury remains an unacceptably high contributor to morbidity and mortality rates across the United States. Gender-specific research in trauma and emergency resuscitation has become a rising priority. In concert with the 2014 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference “Gender-specific Research in Emergency Care: Investigate, Understand, and Translate How Gender Affects Patient Outcomes,” a consensus-building group consisting of experts in emergency medicine, critical care, traumatology, anesthesiology, and public health convened to generate research recommendations and priority questions to be answered and thus move the field forward. Nominal group technique was used for the consensus-building process and a combination of face-to-face meetings, monthly conference calls, e-mail discussions, and preconference surveys were used to refine the research questions. The resulting research agenda focuses on opportunities to improve patient outcomes by expanding research in sex- and gender-specific emergency care in the field of traumatic injury and resuscitation.

“…Core EM journals are publishing research studies, educational articles, and commentaries related to sex, gender, and women's health with increasing frequency. 2,15,16 In 2013, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Women's Health published findings of a national expert panel summarizing the women's health literature and highlighting opportunities to improve education. The report includes recommendations for curriculum development and calls for the establishment of additional women's health clerkships and fellowships.…”

Foundations for a Novel Emergency Medicine Subspecialty: Sex, Gender, and Women's Health

Sex and gender affect all aspects of health and disease, including pathophysiology, epidemiology, presentation, treatment, and outcomes. Sex-and gender-specific medicine (SGM) is a rapidly developing field rooted in women's health; however, inclusion of SGM in emergency medicine (EM) is currently lacking. Incorporating principles of sex, gender, and women's health into emergency care and training curricula is an important first step toward establishing a novel subspecialty. EM is an ideal specialty to cultivate this new field because of its broad interdisciplinary nature, increasing numbers of patient visits, and support from academic medical centers to promote expertise in women's health. This article describes methods used to establish a new multidisciplinary training program in sex, gender, and women's health based in a department of EM. Women's health and SGM program initiatives span clinical care, patient education, clinical research, resident and fellow training, and faculty development.

“…This agenda served to guide emergency care research, which included acknowledgment of the expanding influence that sex and gender has on disease presentation, performance of diagnostic testing, treatment responses and outcomes, and provider behavior . Biological sex and gender identity influence provider behavior, health care utilization and disparities in the delivery of medical care . As research specific to sex‐ and gender‐based differences in EM accelerates, there is increasing recognition of its potential to improve patient outcomes in clinical practice .…”

Background: Emergency medicine (EM) residents do not generally receive sex-and gender-specific education.There will be increasing attention to this gap as undergraduate medical education integrates it within their curriculum.Methodology: Members of the Sex and Gender in Emergency Medicine (SGEM) Interest Group set out to develop a SGEM toolkit and pilot integrating developed components at multiple residency sites. The curriculum initiative involved a pre-and posttraining assessment that included basic demographics and queries regarding previous training in sex-/gender-based medicine (SGBM). It was administered to PGY-1 to -4 residents who participated in a 3-hour training session that included one small group case-based discussion, two oral board cases, and one simulation and group debriefing.
