Application Process Improvement Committee (APIC): Best Practices for the 2025-2026 Residency Application and Interview Season
Beginning in the 2025-2026 application cycle, all Emergency Medicine programs should transition to the ResidencyCAS Application Platform.

Session 74: Calm in the Storm: Equipping Learners to Handle the Emotional Burdens of Emergency Medicine
Host: Miriam Kulkarni, MD and Adrian Cotarelo, MD.
Emergency Medicine physicians are often called upon to deal with patients who are experiencing strong emotions. Residents are expected to learn to manage patients who are angry or frustrated in addition to the myriad other challenges involved in preparing for independent practice. Learning to navigate these difficult emotional encounters is one of the major challenges of Emergency Medicine and yet medical schools and residencies often offer learners minimal instruction. This didactic session will equip emergency medicine faculty with tools to help learners build their emotional resilience, including strategies to guide learners in recognizing their own emotional responses, and using a structured framework to understand and manage patient emotions.
