Joint Statement on ACGME's Proposed EM Requirements
Our emergency medicine community has been closely following the ACGME’s deliberations regarding potential revisions to the Emergency Medicine Program requirements. We recognize this period of uncertainty and the recent decision to defer action can be challenging and, for many, adds to the existing pressures faced daily in our Emergency Departments.We also recognize the varied perspectives on the future of training in our specialty, which reflect our deep commitment and pride in Emergency Medicine.
EM Group Statement
With the public comment period for the proposed ACGME Program Requirements now closed, our emergency medicine organizations come together in a shared purpose to acknowledge this pivotal moment for emergency medicine education—and to reaffirm our commitment to the community we serve.
This process has surfaced divergent perspectives, and thoughtful feedback from across the specialty. While views differ on the potential impact of the proposed changes including a standardized four-year training structure, what remains unmistakably clear is our collective investment in the future of our programs, trainees, and profession.

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.
