We Asked and You Responded - And Then Some

View from the Podium
Joseph Lex, MD MAAEM FAAEM

When we asked via Twitter and email for your input on the 2015 AAEM Scientific Assembly in Austin, Texas (scheduled for February 28–March 4), nearly 40 people responded and gave us more than 75 possible topics and speakers. Now it’s up to the Scientific Assembly Subcommittee to make the hard decisions: what tracks, what topics, what speakers?

Although I was in charge putting together the Scientific Assembly from 2001 through 2006, as AAEM surged to the forefront of education in emergency medicine, a lot has changed since then. New young educators from the third generation of emergency physicians have burst onto the education stage, demonstrating new ways of teaching and learning. The Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAMed) movement has quickly assumed a major role in the day-to-day — and sometimes hour-to-hour — education of emergency practitioners. Shorter didactic session times have become the norm. Adult learning principles such as “Flipping the Classroom” are now common.

21st Annual Scientific Assembly

Joseph Lex, Jr., MD FAAEM MAAEM

It’s time to think about the next Scientific Assembly — scheduled for Austin, Texas, from 28 February 28 through March 4, 2015. The success of the 20th gathering in New York back in February will be tough to surpass. That’s why I need your help.

It is my great honor to once again be in charge of putting together the AAEM Scientific Assembly. I did it for five years from 2001 to 2006, before handing the reins over to Kevin Rodgers. But I lobbied for the job one more time, and I need to show that the trust put in me by Education Committee Chair Mike Epter and President Mark Reiter is warranted.
