ACEP Frontline - Emergency Medicine

In this episode from Accelerate with the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Assembly, we talk with Dr. Emily Rose about the management of bronchiolitis in the pediatric patient. She was also featured on the podcast from PEM Assembly in 2019 as well.

In this episode, we talk with Drs. Abir(RAND) and Pettigrew(EMPI) about the 2025 RAND report that puts to print, the data that many of us in EM have felt, but few believed. It talks about funding, reimbursement, access, and recommendations to stabilize the primary care source for millions and the vast majority of acute episodes of care.

Emergency medicine has been the safety net for the medical system for years, but is the only access point for many across this country. We are also seeing rising incidence of diabetes in all ages. As a result, emergency medicine has the opportunity to play a role in screening and detection with the goal of risk and complication prevention. In this episode, we talk with Dr. James Paxton on our opportunities and some tools we can use to support our patients and improve their outcomes.

In this episode we discuss the partnership of ACEP and VisualDx with the member benefit and discount to assist with recognizing measles and other potential dermatologic issues.

In this episode, Dr. Kristen Nordenholz breaks down some of the causes and differential for right heart failure in EM. This ties in with the prior podcast from CoACEP with Dr. Tems talking about the indications for ECMO.

In this episode, we hear from two EM experts on billing and coding that can help ensure that EPs are appropriately capturing the work that is happening with our patients.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Simone Lawson about the signs and differential of Non-Accidental Trauma in pediatric emergency medicine. We wrap with some pediatric ultrasound nuggets as well.

The new ACGME recommendations for EM program length as well as other adjustment to the EM specialty curriculum have caused quite the stir. We talk with the past-chair, chair, and incoming chair of the EM Review Committee about the changes, the thought process, and why it's important to the future of EM. We also hit them with some of the harder questions and assumptions from SoMe and let them tackle them head on.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Jeffrey Kline about disposition and tools to help emergency physicians manage low risk pulmonary emboli. This is a diagnosis that we can send home in many cases. This episode is supported by a grant from the Bristol-Myers Squibb/Pfizer Alliance.

In this episode, we drop in on the Colorado ACEP Leadership Symposium with a talk by Dr. Chris Tems as he poses the question on whether ECMO is the future of EM cardiac arrest resuscitation.

In this episode from the Independent Group Master Class, we talk with Dr. Beth Griffin about building the business structure for small groups and retention strategies for your physician and NPP talent.

In this episode from the Independent Group Masterclass hosted by ACEP and EMBC, we talk with Dr. Gary Katz about his experience starting, maintaining, and managing a physician owned small group with multiple small rural hospitals in Ohio.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Keri Gardner from Accelerate25 about malpractice and litigation risk with some tips for emergency physicians on how to avoid this unfortunate reality of EM. You can also check out the video interview on the ACEP YouTube channel.

In this episode from PEM Assembly at Accelerate 25, we talk with conference organizer and Peds EM guru, Dr. Sean Fox, about the dreaded post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage presentations in the emergency department.

Non-accidental trauma is a difficult topic in EM and requires a level of suspicion and awareness for a diagnosis that is often unclear and often not the reason for the ED visit, yet we can make a difference. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Simone Lawson with steps that EPs can use to keep NAT on the differential and then wrap with some bonus material on critical care ultrasound for the pediatric EM patient.

In this episode, I take 20 minutes with Dr. Henry Pitzele about the importance of open minds, open ears, and understanding the realities of politics in emergency medicine.

Many don't associate emergency medicine with public health opportunities, but the emergency department is often the only access point for many in our society, especially those at higher risk. In this episode, we talk about the UK HCV screening and treatment program with Dr. Daniel Moore. Not only can this make a significant positive impact in your community, but could be a business strategy for your group/facility...making money while saving (more) money. https://medicine.uky.edu/sites/research/hcv https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34381848/ https://uknow.uky.edu/uk-healthcare/hepatitis-c-screenings-show-benefits-patient-care

In this track, we talk with the Gilead FOCUS team and their effort to improve blood borne pathogen screening in the emergency department. https://www.gilead.com/responsibility/global-health-and-access/focus

In this episode from KACEP24, Dr. Gabe Kelen from the Johns Hopkins Department of Emergency Medicine talks about the issue, impact, and steps towards resolutions.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Brigham Temple about the proper utilization and education of non-physician practitioners in the emergency department. It is still the physician led team and every emergency patient should have access to emergency physicians, but we discuss how that team integrates non-physician care to ensure patient access and quality.
