In honor of Juneteenth, this month’s ASC-EM contribution to the Vocal Cord will simply highlight resources you can point your students toward to find grants and scholarships for away rotations aimed at students from groups traditionally underrepresented in medicine (UiM, URiM, URM) The Clerkship Directors in Emergency Medicine have long maintained a database that can be found here. If your institution has a grant or scholarship that isn’t featured here, you can still contact them to add.

Survey Says…

by Shannon Moffett, MD

The 2020-21 match season delivered an unprecedented level of uncertainty to students and the faculty advising them. As members of the CORD Advising Students Committee in Emergency Medicine (ASC-EM), we developed and sent out a small survey on the recently finished 2020-2021 advising season.  We are still processing the data, but thought it was important to share some preliminary findings, as the 2021/22 advising season has already begun, and we will all be forced—again—to advise in the face of uncertainty.  The most remarkable theme across the responses was that of the cohesive ..read more

As the issue of–and complications surrounding–away rotations is the foremost question on the minds of emergency medicine advisers and their advisees, the Advising Students Committee in Emergency Medicine (ASC-EM) has chosen to use this space to reproduce the recently released consensus statement signed by AAEM, AAEM-RSA, ACOEP, ACOEP-RSA, ACEP, CDEM, CORD, EMRA, SAEM and RAMS. Full downloadable document is located here and the text is pasted below. Please see last month’s installment of our contribution to Vocal Cord for consideration of longer-term questions on away rotations raised by the p ..read more

On January 25, 2021, the Coalition for Physician Accountability, an organization whose members include the American Medical Association, the Association of American Medical Colleges, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the American Osteopathic Association, and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education—and a host of other national oversight organizations—released updated recommendations on away rotations that will mainly affect the 2021-22 academic year. The updates provided were to COPA’s May 2020 statement addressing the 2021 application cycle, rele ..read more

Happy New Year?

The two weeks spanning the winter holidays and leading into the new year are a glorious time.  Not only because of the holiday festivities (family, friends, gift-giving, gorging on fudge and pecan brittle, popping champagne) but also because we finally get a break from the interview season.  The last few months of frenetic activity all of a sudden goes on pause and there is this blessed protected time where we are not “supposed to be” doing anything specific.  The world of students and programs holds their collective breath, regroups, and prepares to head into the final push ..read more

The EM Interview Season: Pandemic Edition

by Shannon Moffett, MD

As the interview season approaches, both applicants and programs face a new reality—the virtual interview. Thankfully, these should be more meaningful than the solo-recorded Standard Video Interview that fell out of favor last year, but the prospect of the virtual interview season still raises questions for all parties involved. What changes in an interview season where there are no away rotations? Will COVID impact applicants’ decisions on where to apply? Can the virtual interview season deliver both a formal and informal atmosphere, as the old interview season often did? How will programs a ..read more

The Times, They are a-Changing…

In our day-to-day grind, it becomes easy to see medicine as a static practice. Sure, when we think about it, we realize our leech jars are now empty, but it is harder to see the daily small shifts in care, based on one new study or another that showed us a better path.  What I do today in caring for someone with a sore throat, chest pain, or abdominal pain really differs little from what I did yesterday.  Over the course of my practice, it does become more obvious there is change.  Now, not everyone gets antibiotics for a sore throat, STEMI’s get to the cath lab ..read more

Authors: Angela Carrick, DO (Norman Regional Hospital) and Angela Chen, MD (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) Each June our new intern classes show up bright-eyed and bushy tailed ready to jump into training in emergency medicine.  They understand residency will be both exhilarating and exhausting.  Some move to town with their spouse or family in the area, yet others have no support system except their co-residents and faculty.  The residents attend a comprehensive two-week orientation and learn hospital policies, how to use Meditech®, and our program requirements from t ..read more
