Emergency Medicine Organizations Submit Joint Letter to ACGME
On behalf of the undersigned emergency medicine organizations, we would like to express our appreciation for the ACGME’s thoughtful and deliberate approach to the proposed Emergency Medicine Program Requirements. We recognize the significance of these decisions and the care required in their evaluation.
However, the absence of a decision and a clearly articulated timeline has created substantial challenges for both training programs and trainees. Program leaders must make strategic decisions related to recruitment, resource and time allocation, curriculum design, and institutional planning well in advance. Without clarity regarding the anticipated timeline and process, responsible long-term planning is impossible.
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.

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.
