2026 Emergency Medicine Interest Group Symposium

Program Details

The Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine proudly presents the 13th Annual Northwest Emergency Medicine Interest Group Symposium on February 21st. This year we will be examining the role emergency medicine plays outside the clinic in large scale events and in acute crisis management. Whether it be someone drowning in a pool, having a heart attack on a plane, or managing medical care during a marathon, emergency medicine physicians are some of the best-trained medical professionals equipped to handle the situation and provide high-quality care until proper handoff to the appropriate personnel. Their training allows them to take on leadership roles within these acute scenarios as well as using their skills in a broader context, such as in Global Health work, to expand their level of care.

We will have keynote speakers discussing their roles in these situations and how their training in emergency medicine has better equipped them to handle these situations. We will also have skills stations in intubation, ultrasound, and an in-flight emergency situation as well as a residency panel with program directors from the NY area.
