In December 2013, Academic Emergency Medicine published the results of the 2013 consensus conference that focused on advancing global health and emergency care research.
As noted in the issue’s executive summary, “Emergency physicians are uniquely poised to address challenges in health services, health care systems development and management, and emerging global disease burdens (both communicable and noncommunicable). “
The consensus conference covered developing research in eight focus areas, including understanding of cardiac and injury resuscitation, ethics of research, health systems development, and the education of future global health leaders.
For anyone interested in global health and emergency care, this issue of Academic Emergency Medicine is an outstanding resource and roadmap to developing research. It can be found at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acem.2013.20.issue-12/issuetoc
