Lecture SeriesTranslating research into clinical practice presented by research division.
Journal ClubEmergency Medicine Journal Club has been a tradition in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Vanderbilt. It is a dynamic process based on feedback from the Emergency Medicine residents, nurses and faculty. It is held once per month from 6-8 PM at the home of one of the faculty. Dinner and an opportunity for brief socializing is provided. Using an evidence-based medicine standard, 6-7 journal articles are distributed 2 weeks prior for the residents, nurses and faculty to review.
Spring Senior Research DaySenior Research Day is held each spring, typically the beginning of May, where Emergency Medicine Senior residents are given the opportunity to present their research findings. A wide range of topics including education, clinical and clinical research trials are introduced. It is a day of thought provoking research presentations in a format fashioned after national research presentations with a 10-minute slide presentation followed by five minutes of questions from the audience.
Pediatrics ResearchThe Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt’s Pediatric Emergency Departments’ goal is to provide exceptional care for those in need of essential emergency healthcare. This goal is exemplified through our Emergency Medicine Fellowship Program and our Physician Faculty’s capability of producing ground breaking research.Providing the administrative infrastructure to cultivate young enthusiastic minds to generate new ideas and treatment, from bench to bedside is a forward step toward the goal of providing the children of this region with every possible chance at the best available healthcare. Our current research interests are:
Scholarly ActivityThis section is intended to outline the research framework for residents in the Department of Emergency Medicine. It is important for any resident wishing to participate in research, whether as a PI or Co-investigator, to understand the support available to them and the framework used by the department. Residents are encouraged to participate in research; they are expected to remain in good standing with residency requirements throughout the conduct of any project.
Research as a Scholarly ActivityThe Emergency Medicine Residency Review Committee requires that each resident complete a scholarly activity. A research project qualifies as a scholarly activity provided all requirements of the Residency Review Committee are met, and, is defined at Vanderbilt as:
Projects requiring prior approval for requirement fulfillment
Research Process FlowThe figure below illustrates the general research framework used by the Department of Emergency Medicine for clinical resident projects. The structure has evolved to provide resident researchers with efficient and competitive support leading to successful completion of a research project.Briefly, the resident formulates an initial research plan with the help and guidance of their collaborator and the biostatistician, and any co-investigators. This research plan must then be approved by the Research Committee, or an individual appointed by the Research Director. The resident is responsible for completing all necessary paperwork and an IRB protocol. The resident maintains responsibility for appropriate conduct of the research, including monitoring of enrollment and data. Once the project is complete, the resident works with the biostatistician and collaborator to analyze the data. When results are available, these are written up with the support of the collaborator, co-investigators and biostatistician. Project and faculty collaborator is identified and declared by June 30 of the PGY-1 year. All seniors will present at Senior Resident Research Day, typically the week prior to SAEM (May).
