Emergency
Medicine |
|
Emergency Medicine is one of the youngest subspecialties in pediatrics. The performance requirements for success in academic pediatric emergency medicine vary widely among institutions. How should we choose the right mix of clinical service, education, research, administration, and community service (broadly defined) to achieve personal success and academic recognition? Academic productivity in PEM is growing, but there are opportunities for improvement. How do we help the scholars of the next generation to make breakthrough achievements? How do we maintain balance between personal and professional life goals? How do we select work environments that provide the resources, including role-models and mentors, which help us to achieve these goals? This session will provide an informal and interactive approach to answering these questions and any others that might be of interest to trainees and junior faculty in pediatric emergency medicine.
