Combined Residency Programs in Emergency Medicine
Full text linkThere are currently 5 combined residencies in emergency medicine (EM), namely EM/pediatrics, EM/internal medicine, EM/internal medicine/critical care, EM/family medicine and EM/anesthesiology. These combined programs vary from 5–6 years in length. Like categorical programs, the decision to enter a 5- or 6-year program should be an informed and comprehensive decision. We describe the history and current status of the combined EM programs, discuss the process of applying to a combined EM program, describe the life of combined EM residents, and explore common career opportunities available to combined EM program graduates. © 2019 The Author

Full text linkHaving an advisor offers medical students many advantages, including increased likelihood of matching into their top choices. Interestingly, students who choose emergency medicine (EM) as a specialty are more likely to seek advising. However, finding and optimally utilizing an EM faculty advisor is often challenging for the medical student. In this article, we tackle the different ways to seek advising, including the 'virtual advisor program' implemented by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, the 'e-Advisor Program' instigated by the Clerkship Director in EM Group, the 'member exclusive mentorship program' of the Emergency Medicine Residency Association, as well as peer-based mentoring. More so, we discuss the consensus recommendations developed by the Student Advising Task Force to guide both students planning to apply to EM and their advisors to ensure high-caliber advising.

Human Factors and Simulation in Emergency Medicine
Full text linkThis consensus group from the 2017 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference Catalyzing System Change through Health Care Simulation: Systems, Competency, and Outcomes held in Orlando, Florida, on May 16, 2017, focused on the use of human factors (HF) and simulation in the field of emergency medicine (EM). The HF discipline is often underutilized within EM but has significant potential in improving the interface between technologies and individuals in the field. The discussion explored the domain of HF, its benefits in medicine, how simulation can be a catalyst for HF work in EM, and how EM can collaborate with HF professionals to effect change. Implementing HF in EM through health care simulation will require a demonstration of clinical and safety outcomes, advocacy to stakeholders and administrators, and establishment of structured collaborations between HF professionals and EM, such as in this breakout group

Undergraduate education of family medicine in Korea
No full textBackground
: Family medicine was introduced into Korea in 1979 according to social needs of primary care physician of goods quality due to specialization and dehumanization of modern medicine, and became the 23rd specialty in Korea. More than 2,500 family physicians are contributing in the field of primary care, but it is still in shortage of covering the whole primary care fields in Korea. This study was designed to collect the data as basics for development of undergraduate education of family medicine in Korea.
Methods : We sent the author-made questionnaires to the professors in 32 medical colleges in Korea, excluding 5 medical colleges only with pre-medical course asking of number of faculty members, student lecture on family medicine, clerkship rotation in family medicine, evaluation method of stude-nts, current status and barrier of undergraduate education in family medicine, and also future expecta-tions of undergraduate education of family medicine in Korea.
Results : Of 32 medical colleges, 20(62.5%) had family medicine departments in the university hospitals and family medicine was mostly 1 or 2. Of 19 medical colleges having family medicine undergraduate education, 7(36.8%) provided family medicine lecture as an independent course, and the history of student lecture was rather short, mostly 1 to 3 years. Most of medical schools gave lectures to the students on sophomore of junior grade and the credit of family medicine course was 1 or less. The clerkship rotations in family medicine were provided in 11(57.9%) of 19 medical colleges. The evaluation methods of undergraduate education in family medicine mostly depended on the written examination(84.2%). To he questions asking the current status of undergraduate education in family medicine, 10 out of 19 answered negatively and 9 answered positively. The barriers of undergraduate education in family medicine would be lack of insight of administrators in the university, lack of cooperation by other departments, lack of a model for undergraduate educa-tion, and lack of effort by the family medicine department in rank order. Most of faculties, 14 out of 19, answered positively for the future of undergraduate education in family medicine.
Conclusion : Since family medicine has been introduced and settled in Korea for 17 years, facilities and current status are not enough to cover primary care in Korea. But the faculties evaluated the current status and future expectation positively. With the efforts to overcome the barriers of undergra-duate education of family medicine in Korea, undergraduate education program of family medicine will improve and family medicine will contribute to improve the health status of Korean people.restrictio
