[6][7][8][9] This study also provides some of the first insights into non-ACGME EM fellows, who were typically excluded from prior national descriptions of EM fellows. 3,4 Compared to their ACGME counterparts, fellows in non-ACGME programs tended to have similar demographic descriptions but more often enroll in fellowship programs in ultrasound, education, or administration.…”

“…Data available through the American Board of Emergency Medicine do not include fellows in non–ACGME‐accredited EM fellowships 3,4 . A limited number of studies have described demographics of specific subsets of EM fellows, including emergency medical services (EMS), ultrasound, global EM, and simulation 5–11 . An even smaller number of studies have examined resident‐identified pertinent considerations, including salary, when considering a fellowship training program 12 .…”

ObjectiveFellowship training is increasingly popular among residency graduates and critical to the advancement of academic emergency medicine (EM). Little is known about the clinical hours worked and financial compensation received by fellows during training. We sought to describe the clinical duties and financial compensation of EM fellows at U.S. academic centers.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study surveyed U.S. academic EM department administrators who were members of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine's Academy of Administrators in Academic Emergency Medicine (AAAEM) regarding their fellowship programs and fellows. We electronically distributed the validated survey instrument to 73 member sites between October 2022 and January 2023. Survey domains included fellow and fellowship demographics, base and total annual clinical hours, and base and total annual compensation. We calculated descriptive statistics and compared fellows by accreditation (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education [ACGME] or non‐ACGME) using chi‐square and Wilcoxon rank‐sum testing. We conducted a secondary analysis of base and total salary by gender and accreditation using Wilcoxon rank‐sum testing.ResultsWe received 38 institutional responses (response rate 52%), which represented 217 individual fellows. Nearly three‐fourths (n = 158, 72.8%) of fellows enrolled in non‐ACGME fellowships, worked 33% more base hours annually than ACGME fellows (median 571 h vs. 768 h, p < 0.001), and received base compensation 20% higher than ACGME fellows ($88,540 vs. $70,777, p < 0.001). Accounting for additional compensation, the median total annual compensation for non‐ACGME fellows remained 11% higher than ACGME fellows ($105,000 vs. $93,853, p = 0.004). We observed no significant differences salary when stratified by gender.ConclusionsMost EM fellows at U.S. academic institutions enrolled in non‐ACGME fellowships with significantly higher base hours and financial compensation than ACGME fellowships. These results represent the first description of the clinical hours and financial compensation of academic EM fellows and should be considered in ongoing benchmarking efforts by AAAEM.

“…This helped to facilitate the maturation of EMS fellowships as well as the specialty itself. 5,7,17 It is increasingly important that a formalized training and certification structure exists within DM to ensure uniform clinical competence amongst responding physicians as disaster response becomes more complex. An ABMS board certification process would stimulate the development of DM by establishing and upholding professional standards, thus fostering trust amongst the public and other responders.…”

Introduction: Disaster medicine (DM) is a unique field that has undergone significant development as disaster events become increasingly complicated to respond to. However, DM is not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) or Accreditation Committee of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), and therefore lacks board certification. Furthermore, prior studies have shown that there is unique body of DM knowledge not being addressed in emergency medicine (EM) residency or Emergency Medical Services (EMS) fellowship, resulting in fundamental DM topics not being covered amongst graduate medical education (GME) programs most prepared to produce DM physicians. A recently published DM core curriculum addresses this knowledge gap and seeks to promote standardization of DM training. Study Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze EM residency and EMS fellowship curricula for the inclusion of DM major curriculum topics and subtopics, using the most recently published DM core curriculum as a control. Methods: Both EM residency and EMS fellowship curricula were analyzed for inclusion of DM curriculum topics and subtopics, using the DM curriculum recommendations published by Wexler, et al as a control. A major curriculum topic was deemed covered if at least one related subtopic was described in the curricula. The included and excluded DM topics and subtopics were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: While all the DM major curriculum topics were covered by either EM residency or EMS fellowship, EMS fellowship covered more major curriculum topics (14/15; 93%) than EM residency (12/15; 80%) and EMS fellowship covered more DM curriculum subtopics (58/153; 38%) than EM residency (24/153; 16%). Combined, EM residency and EMS fellowship covered 65 out of 153 (42%) of the DM curriculum subtopics. Conclusion: Although this study finds that all the DM major curriculum topics will be covered in EM residency followed by EMS fellowship, over one-half of the subtopics are not covered by either program (16% and 38%, respectively) or both programs combined (42%). Increasingly relevant subtopics, such as climate change, droughts, and flooding, are amongst those not covered by either curriculum. Even amongst the DM topics included in GME curricula, an emphasis on themes such as mass treatment, preparedness, and mitigation is likely under-represented. Accreditation from ACGME for DM fellowship would further promote uniform implementation of the updated core curriculum and ensure optimal training of disaster-ready physicians.

“…The previous decade has witnessed the expansion of several commercial online question banks (QBanks) and board review services (e.g., Rosh Review, Hippo EM) 8 . QBank engagement has been shown to correlate with higher scores in other medical training realms, including for medical students completing the United States’ Medical Licensing Step 1 Examination and for EMS subspecialty candidates completing the EMS certification examination 9,10 11 substituted evidence‐based articles and Rosh Review questions into EM residency curricula in lieu of traditional textbook learning, concluding that this method was noninferior when assessed by resident ITE score.…”

Does QBank participation impact in‐training examination performance?

Background: Performance on the annual in-training examination (ITE) for emergency medicine (EM) residents has been shown to correlate with performance on the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) qualifying examination. As such, significant planning is often committed to ITE preparation, from an individual resident and a residency program perspective. Online specialty-specific question banks (QBanks) represent a popular medium for ITE preparation; however, the impact of QBanks on ITE performance is unclear. We sought to assess the impact of QBank participation on EM resident ITE performance. Methods: ITE and QBank performance results were collated over 2 academic years, 2019 and 2020, from a 3-year EM residency program. The QBank was provided as a self-study option in 2019 and incorporated as a mandatory component of the curriculum in 2020. ITE raw scores and percentile rank for training level scores were compared with performance on the QBank, including QBank average performance score as well as number of QBank questions completed. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to measure association between ITE performance and QBank correlates.Additional descriptive demographics, to include gender, PGY level, and USMLE step 1 and 2 scores were also considered.Results: Sixty-two sets (30 residents in 2019, 32 residents in 2020) of ITE performance data and QBank correlates were included. Overall, raw ITE scores and number of QBank questions completed were found to have a significant, positive correlation,
