6. Emergency Medicine Journal Club, Faculty 

• I designed a novel Journal Club format that stimulates increased engagement and application to clinical practice. Each month, one faculty member acts as theme editor and selects three articles. EM PGY-1s present the articles then PGY-2s and PGY-3s lead a question-and-answer section with the guest faculty editor and myself regarding the articles with the goal of driving appropriate changes in clinical practice or further research questions (Initiated 2016). Previously, I selected 27 articles each year and, in small groups, residents led discussion of those articles. (2011 – Present)
