Review of "Educating the next generation of emergency medicine specialists" by Dr Mary Nan Mallory
From starting off with a brief history of emergency medicine as a young specialty to talking about life during the COVID-19 pandemic pre-vaccine but post-tsunami of patients; Dr Mary Nan Mallory has volunteered her time to certify Emergency Physicians with the goal of certifying all doctors in all Emergency Departments in the United States. She talks in brief about the profession of emergency medicine and how through her military service she fell into the profession. Being only a young specialty, some doctors are still not specialised. She doesn’t want patients to have to worry about whether their doctor is certified or not on, possibly, the worst day of their lives. Debriefing has become an important part of the emergency medicine culture and Dr Mallory believes that, sadly, the shift towards digital medical records has removed the team from each other with less camaraderie. But with the occurrence of Covid, the team had to reinvent themselves and rediscover the roots of the emergency department ethos: teamwork and being connected as a team (having each other’s backs). Students are getting back into hospitals. No matter what issues the students transitioning back into hospitals during the Pandemic, they are still lucky to have the access and not to be sent overseas for their experience and clinical training. It was a great talk. It would have been nice to even hear a comparison of emergency medicine specialisations in different countries, particularly in regards to certification and what it’s like working in different areas. Dr Mallory mentioned the difficulty of the shift work and the high profile cases of suicide amongst emergency physicians but the situation is different in Australia, or Cyprus, or Singapore for example. It would be nice for future guests to provide their insight of these different areas because then maybe the US-emergency medicine system can learn from these models, maybe even adjust and apply them to their own departments to improve patient safety and physician mental health. Overall, a great podcast that I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Dr Mallory, you’ve given me a lot to think about!
