Opening General Session
You vs. Your Brain
Emergency physicians are fast acting – our patients’ lives depend on it. Luckily, the power of the human brain enables us to make fast judgements and take mental shortcuts to keep us - and others - alive. Unfortunately, these shortcuts can also lead to cognitive distortions and biased thinking. It’s time to wrestle with our brains!
World-renowned applied neuroscience psychologist Helena Boschi, PhD, MSc, joins us in this entertaining and eye-opening session to talk about how we can cut through the clutter when we understand how our brain takes shortcuts and what we can do about it. We’ll walk through the disciplines of neuroscience and behavioral economics and get practical examples to improve our decision-making.
Monday, October 9 • 9:00 – 10:30 am
EM:RAP Live!

Monday, October 9 • 2:30 – 5:30 pm
Closing General Session
Private Equity, Group Structure & Other Holiday Dinner Topics
It’s time for candid conversations about the business of emergency medicine. Social media sparring and siloed arguments won't push our specialty forward. Let’s problem-solve like we do on shift: assess what’s in front of us, lean into our training, and decide the next steps for the future of EM.
Dr. Lawton R. Burns, Professor of Management at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, will deliver a Ted Talk-style summary of private equity trends in health care, its impact and where it may be heading. Then we’ll have a moderated discussion with a panel of your peers offering unique perspectives on residency, academia, small and large groups, and the workforce. We’ll have time for Q&A before we close with Presidential perspectives.
