Emergency Medicine Education Research Since the 2012 Consensus Conference: How Far Have We Come and What's Next?

In 2012, the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine convened a consensus conference on the state of medical education research with goals of defining and advancing a future research agenda. Since that time, emergency medicine (EM) education research has grown significantly. A task force of EM education experts was assembled and sought to understand the current state of EM education research and future directions. Among the advances are increases in medical education fellowships, advanced degree and certification programs, faculty development programs, publication venues, and funding. These findings are discussed in light of the prior objectives from the 2012 consensus conference, and recommendations for future directions are provided.
