Thanks for joining us at the #SAEM25 Consensus Conference! Kudos to @StanfordEMED's Dr. Holly Caretta-Weyer (@holly_cw) for her leadership in bringing together leaders across EM to discuss the future of Competency-Based Medical Education.

Should you be worried about that older patient in your ED who presents with rigors? Dr. Krishan Yadav, Erin Rosenberg and myself think you should. Take a look at this article on an approach to this type of patient:

OPEN ACCESS via CMAJ
Training EM residents in critical airway skills:
✅Break down micro skills
✅Flipped classroom model
✅Practice BEFORE teaching sessions
✅Case-based learning
✅Rapid cycle deliberate practice with coaching using sim
✅ Stepwise increases in complexity
#ICEM2025
Using serious games in #MedEd:
✅Purpose driven
✅Active learning
✅Built-in feedback
Not just fun and games - proven learning tools. Allow trainees to make mistakes safely, practice critical thinking, and build confidence. Time to level up!
#ICEM2025
<40% of EM research integrates sex/gender into data analysis - critical gap in #MedEd & practice. Labs, disease risk, & drug dosing vary by sex/gender - but we're not consistently accounting for differences.
✅Time to close the gap!

📚 Facts fade, but stories stick.
Teaching through patient narratives, our learners don't just memorize symptoms—they experience the human side of medicine. Mary’s journey with cerebral malaria will outlast any textbook definition. Stories create memories. #ICEM2025#MedEd
Most powerful lessons for med trainees? It’s okay to be fallible. Showing vulnerability as educators—admitting mistakes, saying “I don’t know”—we give learners permission to be human.
Growth mindset > superhero complex
Excellence comes from curiosity, not perfection. #ICEM2025
Creating psychological safety in EM education isn't just nice-to-have—it's essential for learning. When learners feel safe to ask questions, admit uncertainty, or discuss near-misses, we build better clinicians. Fear of judgment kills curiosity. Curiosity saves lives.
#ICEM2025
AI transforming #MedEd - virtual patients, personalized learning, instant dx feedback. We could train better doctors—but must navigate data privacy, algorithmic bias, and ensure human judgment remains central.
Balance innovation with responsibility.

Ed Scholars @CAEP_Docs - “Teaching in the Trenches: Navigating Access Block”
✅develop micro skills, impart key pearls
✅”just-in-time” teaching for procedures
✅teach flow - how can we move 5 more patients in
✅review/triage the WR
✅ Reconstruct cases (what if?)

Dr Elif Cakal @DrEDCakal kicks things off this morning - Maximizing potential by optimizing our clinical learning environment!
“We say it's about competence, but the learning environment decides who sinks, who swims, and who burns out.”
Be sure to join us! #ICEM2025
We have a stellar lineup this morning at the #MedEd track - room 511CF @ 1110am!

Strong emergency med training happens when supervisors & trainees work as true partners in learning. Building education alliances means creating psychological safety, shared goals, and mutual respect. When we coach with curiosity instead of judgment, everyone grows. #ICEM2025
Excellent overview by @drjfrank of how far we’ve come with #CBME on an international scale. Canada, US, UK, Australia producing a lot of research in this area but we need more scholarship within emergency medicine. The future is bright and #competent!
#ICEM2025
