Department Blog - December 2013

Our department's Global Health Section published two articles in the December issue of Academic Emergency Medicine, based on breakout sessions held during the 2013 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference, "Global Health and Emergency Care: A Research Agenda." Jon Mark Hirshon, MD, MPH, PhD, and Kinjal Sethuraman, MD, MPH, co-authored "Ethics in Acute Care Research: A Global Perspective and Research Agenda" (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acem.12271/abstract). Emilie Calvello, MD, MPH, and Christian Theodosis, MD, are co-authors of "Emergency Care and Health Systems: Consensus-based Recommendations and Future Research Priorities" (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acem.12266/abstract).

An article on subarachnoid hemorrhage, based on an evidence-based debate by our residency's Journal Club, has been named the fourth most-read article in the 2013 EM literature by Medscape from WebMD. Congratulations to Drs. Ali Farzad, Bethany Radin, Jason Oh, Heidi Teague, Brian Euerle, JV Nable, Aisha Liferidge, Andy Windsor, and Michael Witting on this impressive accomplishment! The article was published in the May issue of The Journal of Emergency Medicine.
