Effects of opening a vertical care area on emergency medicine resident clinical experience
This study suggests no detrimental effects of vertical care unit implementation on multiple resident education outcomes including the number and acuity level of patients seen as well as procedure numbers of resident trainees. While the outcomes measured did not show significant negative effect for the resident compliment as a whole, we noted changes to the distribution of patient acuity based on PGY level. Similar assessments are recommended to determine the educational impact of comparable operational changes in other EDs.
