Sharpening the Edge: Essential EM Skills for Today’s Clinician
The vision of this activity is to create an interactive, team-based learning environment where emergency medicine faculty, advanced provider clinicians, and residents can refine, update, and standardize core clinical skills essential to high-quality patient care. Through multiple rotating skill stations, participants will engage in deliberate practice, receive immediate feedback, and strengthen both technical proficiency and teaching techniques. The intention is two-fold: to ensure faculty remain current in evidence-based procedural standards while simultaneously modeling effective bedside teaching strategies for residents. By fostering collaboration across training levels, this workshop enhances clinical consistency, supports faculty development as educators, and promotes resident confidence and competence. Ultimately, the activity aims to align clinical practice with institutional and national standards, improving patient safety and outcomes while cultivating a culture of continuous learning.
