The last few years have seen an increased focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across organizations. Simulation has been used in varying degrees for teaching about DEI topics with emergency medicine; however, there are no established best practices or guidelines this subject. To further examine the use of simulation teachings, DEISIM work group was created as a collaboration between Society Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Academy Diversity Inclusion (ADIEM). This...
Buildings, parks, and roads are all elements of the “built environment,” which can be described as human-made structures that comprise neighborhoods communities where people live, work, learn, recreate (https://www.epa.gov/smm/basic-information-about-built-environment). The design children adolescents play has a profound impact on their health. Moreover, policies practices determine community built environment root cause disparities in social determinants health contribute to inequity. An...

Gastroenteritis is one of the most commonly managed conditions in a pediatric emergency department (ED).1 Although majority cases require little diagnostic and/or therapeutic interventions, there clinical variability how patients with suspected gastroenteritis are managed.2 Such decision making likely due to patient and system-level factors. Disparities management children have been noted across multiple conditions.3, 4 We sought measure racial/ethnic differences testing interventions among...
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiance (UVGI) is the effective technique of inactivating disease-causing bacteria, mould spores, fungi, and viruses using ultraviolet radiation. In this study, we seek to quantify efficacy COVID19 infection risk reduction achieved by UVGI in upper unoccupied zone a room so that may specify type placement emitters optimally. We present computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based approach model disinfection aerosolized pathogens non-uniform field with mixing driven air...

Before delivering a contract negotiation workshop to pediatric emergency medicine fellows in training, we wanted understand the group's career aspirations. We hypothesized that would be interested nonclinical skill building addition clinical training.A 9-question survey was anonymously administered registered for national conference using SurveyMonkey before date. Six questions were quantitative, 2 qualitative and open ended, 1 required ranking of elements.Seventy-seven (47%) attendees...
Background: Racial/ethnic disparities in the provision of emergency care for children have been documented across a number clinical conditions. Gastroenteritis is common diagnosis among presenting to departments (ED). There are limited data with respect differential management gastroenteritis that may be related patient’s race/ethnicity. Objective: To measure racial/ethnic differences to: 1) diagnostic testing (radiology and laboratory evaluations); 2) therapeutic interventions (intravenous...
