From Dr. Ouyang: Journal Club on Health Reporting:
The next Journal Club on Health Reporting will take place on Wednesday, May 26th at 1 pm. We will do a special session as part of the department’s “Wilderness, Environmental and Disaster Medicine” medical student course that Dr. Tedeschi runs. To give everyone time to read the articles, I am sending them out in advance. I hope everyone who is free can join. Your insights and perspectives will surely be appreciated by the students. Zoom link to follow.

From Columbia Operations and Education Leadership: PGY 3’s at Notifications
Whenever possible,
- PGY 3’s should respond to all Area D notifications. They should write an MSE note.
- While they can assist with stabilization and procedures if they choose, a clear handoff from the PGY 3 resident to the Area D Attending + Resident/PA is necessary because PGY 3s will not be responsible for the continued coverage of patients in Area D, even if they participated in the initial resuscitation.
From Columbia anesthesia chiefs:
Columbia Anesthesia Chiefs have started a Google Spreadsheet to faciliate residents getting to and from work together. Read about the details here. The spreadsheet (editable link here) contains “contact info, home subway station, subway line, and usual times on the subway to and from work. If enough people post their same information, we could reach out to each other to coordinate beyond a first/last car situation.”
We’re excited to announce that next Monday March 22, our Emergency Department will be launching a new clinical trial funded by the NIH on treating opioid use disorder patients. This study will be comparing the effectiveness of two different formulations of buprenorphine, a medication that can help treat patients suffering from substance use disorder.

From Dr. Shah on behalf of Dr. Eric Steinberg:
“One of my residents is researching the learning preferences of emergency medicine residents. She has developed a super-short survey that can be completed in approximately 2 minutes. If you could please distribute this to your residents, I would be forever grateful!”
