April 2009 Robert Wood Johnson Medical School second-year student Amy Ondeyka received a grant from the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine to support the Emergency Resuscitation Challenge, a competition-style event for 40 second-year medical students, which Amy coordinated along with faculty and staff from the Department of Emergency Medicine. Divided into teams, the students rotated through four stations during the clinical skills competition, which included EKG identification, medication identification, advanced airway placement, and intravenous and intra-osseous lines on manikins. Each team was evaluated and scored on successful procedures and answers by emergency medicine faculty and staff members who conducted the training. At the end of the four rotations, the two top scoring teams competed in a Mock Code Challenge, during which two scenarios were given for manikins to go into cardiac arrest and the teams competed to be the first to successfully resuscitate the manikin. The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine recognizes the valuable role of emergency medicine student groups and awards grants to support their educational activities. Amy was one of only five students nationally to receive a grant from the Society this year. At the regional SAEM meetings in Delaware on March 27, 2009, where we presented nine abstracts, we received two awards: Dr. Rajiv Arya for best presentation at the plenary session and Dr. Andreia Marques Baptista for best oral presentation. Congratulations to both and to all the students who were involved in supporting the abstracts.
