The process of evaluating the performance of medical students and/or residents during emergency medicine clinical rotations is constrained by several potential shortcomings. These constraints can limit the quality of the information provided to the student/resident, as well as that provided to the sponsoring institution. During the course of an academic year at United States Air Force Medical Center, Wright-Patterson, a number of medical students, interns, and residents rotate through the emergency department. The limitations identified in the process of evaluating these trainees include the (1) retrospective nature of the data provided in evaluations; (2) the lack of clear pre-established performance criteria; (3) the time constraints placed on preceptors; and (4) the incremental nature of the observations of performance during emergency medicine rotations. The evaluation tool developed to address these limitations is presented as a mechanism to help improve the ability of educators to evaluate and record performance during emergency medicine rotations.

University of Utah, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Background: Morning postoperative labs are often obtained for emergency general surgery (EGS) patients. Studies in other surgical fields indicate that routine postoperative day 1 (POD1) labs are sometimes being performed excessively and do not require intervention. The purpose of this study is to identify predictors indicating the need for POD1 labs in EGS patients based on likelihood of intervention.

Para-pneumonic effusion in children is often associated with bacterial infections; however, dual viral infections, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and COVID-19, can also lead to severe respiratory complications, as demonstrated in this case. This case report presents the clinical course of a pediatric patient with both RSV and COVID-19 infections, leading to para-pneumonic effusion. A three-year-old girl with a history of asthma and prior febrile convulsions presented to the Emergency Department with fever, cough, vomiting, and fatigue.
