CORD’s Response to Proposed ACGME Changes
Over the past several weeks and months, in meetings, town halls, and other forums, we have heard from many of you—directly and passionately—about the proposed ACGME Program Requirements and your experience with the process. One message has come through clearly: many of you have not felt adequately supported by the Board during this critical comment period. Some felt unheard. Others felt uncertain about where CORD stood or what steps were being taken.
We are sincerely grateful to those of you who spoke up, organized your communities, submitted comments, and asked the hard questions—not only of the ACGME, but of us who represent you in our organization.

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.
