TRANSCRIPT
The Proposal
An opportunity and mechanism for
companies to join in supporting
ACEP by combining resources.
Choices for supporting ACEP
• Go it alone
– High cost ($175 to $200 K) of major program
– Find/locate a vendor
– Maintain and document “hands off” content• ACCME
• PhRMA Code
• FDA
– No assurance of inclusion messages
• Join with others
– Reduce cost/company/program
– Assure internal review committees of compliance
– Allow mult-product presentations
– Repeat programs by regions/districts
– Engage wider range of faculty
– Year-round messaging
Why this proposal for EM?
• By its nature, EM especially amenable
• EM provides us with patient information
– Why they visit?
– What’s their complaint?
– Treatment options
– What should be prescribed?
– Who gets admitted to hospital?
The MASTERS Program
Maximizing Awareness of Stroke Treatment
in the Emergency Room Setting
Academic Alliances in Medical Education
Incidence of Stroke
Stroke
• Occurs every 45 seconds; death every 3 minutes
• 275,000 deaths/yr
• Third-leading cause of death
• Leading cause of long-term disability
• Costs >$50 billion/yr
• Most occur in >65 yrs of age
• Men are at higher risk, but more women die
• 2x higher incidence among African Americans
Stroke in Emergency Medicine:
Overview
Stroke• Requires immediate treatment
– Improves chances for survival
– Decreases overall morbidity/mortality
• ~88% are ischemic and, if treated early, amenable to therapy
• Many patients not treated fast enough
• Improvements needed:
– Educate emergency physicians
– Raise public awareness
ACEP Recognizes
the Importance of Stroke Education
• Numerous articles in Ann Emerg Med
• Topic at ACEP annual meetings
• EM “core content” reflected in “The Model of the
Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine (EM)”
• 1 of 13 topics in Nervous System Disorders category
• ABEM weighted the Nervous System Disorders
category as 5% of the ConCert exam
