The writer's guide to education scholarship in emergency medicine: Education innovations (part 3).

Objective: The scholarly dissemination of innovative medical education practices helps broaden the reach of this type of work, allowing scholarship to have an impact beyond a single institution. There is little guidance in the literature for those seeking to publish program evaluation studies and innovation papers. This study aims to derive a set of evidence-based features of high-quality reports on innovations in emergency medicine (EM) education.

The writer's guide to education scholarship in emergency medicine: Systematic reviews and the scholarship of integration (part 4).

Objective: Reviews help scholars consolidate evidence and guide their educational practice. However, few papers describe how to effectively publish review papers. We completed a scoping review to develop a set of quality indicators that will assist junior authors to publish reviews and integrative scholarship.

A writer's guide to education scholarship: Qualitative education scholarship (part 2).

Objective: Education scholarship can be conducted using a variety of methods, from quantitative experiments to qualitative studies. Qualitative methods are less commonly used in emergency medicine (EM) education research but are well-suited to explore complex educational problems and generate hypotheses. We aimed to review the literature to provide resources to guide educators who wish to conduct qualitative research in EM education.

CAEP 2016 Academic Symposium: A Writer's Guide to Key Steps in Producing Quality Medical Education Scholarship.

A key skill for successful clinician educators is the effective dissemination of scholarly innovations and research. Although there are many ways to disseminate scholarship, the most accepted and rewarded form of educational scholarship is publication in peer-reviewed journals. This paper provides direction for emergency medicine (EM) educators interested in publishing their scholarship via traditional peer-reviewed avenues.

A writer's guide to education scholarship: Quantitative methodologies for medical education research (part 1).

Background: Quantitative research is one of the many research methods used to help educators advance their understanding of questions in medical education. However, little research has been done on how to succeed in publishing in this area.

Objective: We conducted a scoping review to identify key recommendations and reporting guidelines for quantitative educational research and scholarship.

A qualitative exploration of which resident skills parents in pediatric emergency departments can assess.

Background: Residents must strive for excellence in their nontechnical skills (NTS). However, NTS have not traditionally been well-assessed in pediatric emergency departments (EDs). One underutilized assessment strategy is to have parents assess the residents caring for their children.

Facile Synthesis of cis-Dichloro-(1,4,7-Triazacyclononane) Platinum(II) and its Screening Against Human Ovarian Cancer (SK-OV-3) and Leukemia (K-562) Cell Lines.

A simple method for the preparation of cis-dichloro(1,4,7-triazacyclononane)platinum(II), cis-Pt(tacn)Cl(2) is presented, together with the results of screening the compound against the K-562 (leukemia) and SK-OV-3 (ovarian) human cancer cell lines. While the compound shows no activity against K-562 cells, there is evidence for some cytotoxicity against SK-OV-3. The compound is much less effective than cisplatin, and its limited solubility restricts the useable concentration range.
