Areas of Interest
I. Evidence based medicine: Evidence-based publication is the foundation of responsible and credible scientific research, highlighting the significance of rigorous methodology, thorough data analysis, and transparent reporting. It emphasizes the critical role of empirical evidence in shaping the understanding of various fields of medicine. Such publications adhere to the principles of objectivity, reproducibility, and peer review, ensuring that research findings can be independently verified and contribute meaningfully to the existing body of knowledge. In an era marked by an overwhelming amount of information, evidence-based publication serves as a source of reliability, guiding both researchers and the wider public towards informed decision-making and the advancement of human understanding.
II. Ultrasound: Point-of-Care Ultrasound has proven itself as a clinical and critical asset in the emergency department. Offering the benefits of portability, availability, speed and cost, Point-of-Care Ultrasound has become the diagnostic standard of care in rapid assessment in trauma and critically ill patients. In this category, our research was focused on ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous access and the treatment of patients who present to emergency department with undifferentiated signs and symptoms and how ultrasound changed the diagnosis.
III. Medical Education: We have found asynchronous online learning an effective means of imparting medical knowledge to emergency medicine trainees. Based on our study of emergency medicine clerkship students and residents, the use of a Web-based learning module significantly increases the ability of the learner to recognize acute ST-segment elevations in myocardial infarctions on an electrocardiogram. Aside from that, we reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of web-based interviews versus on-site interviews, analyzed their cost effectiveness, and discussed the effect on rank-order lists. We also investigated how a video review of cardiac arrest could impact the quality of patient care in the emergency department.
IV. Technology: Advances in technology have revolutionized the medical field and changed the way healthcare is delivered. This category consists of research around social media, smartphone application-based text messaging, virtual reality, and telemedicine.
