Call for Papers:
The 2009 Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM) Consensus Conference on Public Health in the Emergency Department: Surveillance, Screening, and Intervention will be held on May 13, immediately preceding the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Annual Meeting in New Orleans. Original papers, if accepted, will be published together with the conference proceedings in the November 2009 issue of AEM.
The theme of this conference is Surveillance, Screening, and Intervention in the Emergency Department (ED). We will focus on these key domains of ED-based public health practice. The conference will include a keynote speaker, lectures by content experts and clinicians, a lunchtime panel discussion, interactive facilitated workshops, and conference attendee voting on consensus issues.
Original contributions describing relevant research or concepts in this topic will be considered for publication in the November 2009 special topics issue of AEM if received by Monday, March 2, 2009. All submissions will undergo peer review, and publication cannot be guaranteed. For queries, please contact Steven L.
