Scholarly tracks are established pathways in residency education led by emergency medicine (EM) faculty with expertise in specific niches. The gender differences in effort, time, and compensation of faculty who lead these tracks is unknown. Objectives: We sought to investigate the relationship between gender and faculty effort, and compensation for scholarly track leaders. Methods: All EM residency programs with scholarly tracks were identified and faculty track leaders were contacted through program websites and coordinators. Participants completed an online survey assessing their attributes, efforts, and compensation. We performed a bivariate analysis to analyze gender differences. Results: 112 of 276 faculty surveyed responded (M:63, F:47). Female track leaders were more likely to have completed fellowship training and hold a higher academic rank than their male counterparts (Table 1). Female track leaders spent more time on academic track activities per month compared to male track leaders, however, this difference was not statistically significant (Table 2). Female track leaders were significantly more likely to receive compensation for their role including time buydown, salary support, and other forms of compensation (Table 1). Conclusion: This study identified important gender differences in the scholarly track workforce. Further investigation is necessary to explore the relationship between gender, efforts, and compensation, while accounting for potential influencing factors. In the future, consensus guidelines could be developed to guide the expected attributes, efforts, and compensation for scholarly track leaders to promote equity.27 Impact of cardiovascular exercise during shifts on emergency medicine resident neurocognitive functionMeriam Deeb, Peter Gould, Philip Salen, Jill Stoltzfus, Holly StankewiczObjective: To evaluate the impact of exercise on physician cognition as measured by typing speed and accuracy. Methods: The prospective, IRB approved, single institution, experimental study design at an urban level 1 trauma center ED assessed a cohort of 35 emergency medicine resident (EMR) ED physicians’ cognitive status reflected by typing speed and accuracy at 3-times of day: 0900-day, 1600-evening, and 0400-overnight shift before and after a cardiovascular exercise intervention, ascending and descending 2 flights of stairs twice. EMRs typed randomly generated prepared texts for 2-minutes before and after participating in the exercise intervention based on investigator availability. Characters typed and error rate were tabulated for pre- and post-exercise typing tasks. Data analysis utilizing Wilcoxen Signed Rank Test compared total number of pre-and post-exercise characters typed and error rate. Results: Investigators screened 35 subjects, the entire cohort of EMRs, twice during day, evening, and overnight shifts. The difference in the general distribution of characters typed by EMRs demonstrates statistical significance with mean characters typed post-exercise 211 (104-506) compared to pre-exercise 190 (100-438; p < .001). Regarding typing accuracy, the difference in the general distribution post-and pre-exercise demonstrates statistical significance: percentage Table 1.
