Message from the Chair

Sharma Pic-July 2020.jpg

Welcome to the Spring 2023 edition of the Department of Emergency Medicine newsletter. 

 

Our department continues its tradition of excellence in leading emergency care with innovation, scholarship and compassion. 2023 promises to be an exciting year, particularly in the areas of research and scholarship. Already, we have received several grants from the National Institutes of Health for a number of research studies. One study, a joint partnership between Dr. Tony Rosen and Dr. Mark Lachs, co-chief of the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine, aims to develop a new primary care screening tool for identifying neglect in elderly patients with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. In addition to our research efforts, we have seen a rise in our volume of published scholarship, as well as the number of our faculty who are invited speakers at regional, national and international conferences and symposia this year.

 

The Department successfully implemented several educational initiatives. The most notable among them is the expansion of our residency program to 21 residents, our largest class to date. I am pleased to say that we have completely filled our residency class of 2027 with a diverse group of accomplished new residents who will bring a wealth of experience to our program. We look forward to welcoming them in the coming weeks. Last month, we also launched our new Healthcare Leadership & Management elective for senior medical students. Led by Dr. Jean Scofi and Dr. Joseph Habboushe, this course offers students the opportunity to interact directly with leaders from across the healthcare spectrum and gives valuable insight into emergency medicine. 

 

I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished so far and look forward to another productive year for the Department of Emergency Medicine. 

 

Please enjoy this latest edition of our newsletter and best wishes for a wonderful summer!

Research Highlights

Department of Emergency Medicine Receives Three Research Grants from National Institutes of Health

Weill Cornell Medicine Receives NIA Grant for Elder Neglect Research

Dr. Anthony Rosen


The National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health has awarded a grant to Weill Cornell Medicine to develop a screening tool and intervention for elder neglect in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.


Approximately one in 10 Americans over the age of 60 have experienced some form of elder abuse, a broad category that encompasses financial exploitation, physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect and more. For this study, Dr. Mark Lachs, co-chief of the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and the Irene F. and I. Roy Psaty Distinguished Professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, and Dr. Tony Rosen, an associate professor of emergency medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and emergency medicine physician at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, will focus on elder neglect – or the failure to meet an older adult's basic needs, which include access to food, water, shelter, clothing, hygiene and essential medical care.

Omuyambi: Traditional healer support to improve HIV viral suppression in rural Uganda

Dr. Radhika Sundararajan



Dr. Sundararajan’s $3.4 million R01 award from the National Institute of Mental Health seeks to improve HIV care for people living in rural Uganda through training of lay health providers (“traditional healers”). Her research partners include the Mbarara University of Science and Technology, and physician-scientists at the Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital HIV clinic. The goal of this work is to empower traditional healers to deliver health education and support for people living with HIV who have defaulted from clinical care, encouraging re-entry and retention in care, and medication adherence. The team will evaluate the effectiveness of this strategy on improving viral load suppression via cluster randomized trial with 40 traditional healers and 650 people living with HIV. We will also evaluate implementation of this strategy using quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys and interviews with people living with HIV, traditional healers, HIV clinicians, and Ministry of Health policymakers. This study will be conducted over five years.

GEMRA: Geriatric Emergency Medicine Risk Prediction Model for Return Visit Admissions

Dr. Peter Steel & Dr. Yiye Zhang



Dr. Steel and Dr. Zhang received a $3.7 million R01 award from the National Institute of Aging. The mixed-methods study will develop GEMRA, a machine-learning model designed to identify acute post-ED risk in older adults, into accurate, real-time, EHR-based clinical decision support. Their research partners include colleagues from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine and Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. The goal is for GEMRA to inform ED-based risk reduction strategies for older adult diseases and vulnerabilities that can be under-recognized in conventional clinical practice.

Department of Emergency Medicine Faculty Receive Seed Grant for Collaborative Research Project with Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine

Dr. Felipe Teran and Dr. Clark Owyang, along with research partners from the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), recently received a seed grant from the Office of Academic Integration at Cornell University to fund efforts to establish a large animal resuscitation science lab across Cornell. The grants are part of an initiative to foster multidisciplinary collaborations between the Ithaca and New York City campuses and to create new opportunities for researchers from across the institution to work together.

Department of Emergency Medicine Launches Healthcare Leadership & Management Elective for Senior Medical Students

This spring, the Department of Emergency Medicine launched its inaugural Healthcare Leadership & Management Elective for senior medical students. The two-week course, led by Dr. Jean Scofi and Dr. Joseph Habboushe, offered students the opportunity to further develop their leadership skills and explore challenging topics in healthcare innovation, business, and management.


Throughout the course, students attended a series of lectures led by leaders from a wide spectrum of healthcare industries, including executives from Sunrise Pharma, Anthem, Inc., and Regeneron, and physician-leaders from NewYork-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Each student was also paired with a mentor for one-on-one counselling in support of their career development. The elective provided students with a deeper understanding of the basic definitions and relationships between clinical service delivery, healthcare innovation, healthcare policy, and healthcare leadership and management.



The elective is the third program launched under the department’s Healthcare Leadership & Management educational track, which includes a fellowship and the HLM Scholars Program for first- and second-year medical students.
