CORD Academic Assembly 2018

Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD) Academic Assembly is organized by Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors (CORD) and will be held during Apr 22 - 25, 2018 at Grand Hyatt San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is educators in emergency medicine to address the needs of our unique teaching environment. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 21.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Conference Overview :
The optimal education and assessment of medical students, emergency medicine residents, and emergency medicine fellows, and the effective management of emergency medicine residencies and educational programs are continuously evolving processes. Teaching to adult learners who have grown up in the technological age requires innovative didactic and assessment tools and an understanding of best practices in teaching and assessment. It is also necessary to respond effectively to an increasingly complicated regulatory environment, including, the Next Accreditation System, the institution of Milestone-based competency assessment, and the increasing focus on Patient Safety and Quality Improvement initiatives. Residency and student management demands multiply every year. Maintaining professional and personal balance and successfully advancing a career focused on education in emergency medicine is a constant challenge. Collaboration between emergency medicine programs, specialties, national emergency medicine organizations and accreditation associations facilitates and enhances resident and medical student education, assessment, and program management.

Conference Objectives :
Upon completion of this conference, emergency physicians and program coordinators will:
• Incorporate milestones-based assessment tools into the training of emergency medicine residents.
• Improve the written and verbal assessment and remediation of medical students and emergency medicine residents.
• Incorporate advances in online learning, small-group discussion and lecture design, simulation and emerging technology to more effectively educate medical students and emergency medicine residents.

• Share cutting-edge educational research and innovations and develop the skills to perform high-quality educational research.
