The Hot Topics in Emergency Medicine (HTEM) for Advanced Practice Providers is a premier annual conference organized by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The 2024 edition was a hybrid event designed specifically to update Physician Assistants (PAs), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), and the broader emergency medicine team on the latest evidence-based practices.

Unlike general medical conferences, this course utilizes a case-based format to highlight “grey zone” clinical decisions, focusing on high-yield, practical applications for those working in Emergency Departments, Urgent Care, and Critical Care settings.

+ What You Will Learn

The curriculum focuses on closing the gap between current guidelines and daily bedside practice. Key learning objectives included:

• Critical Care Management: Strategies for managing cardiac emergencies, specifically optimizing treatment for acute right-sided ventricular failure.

• Neurologic & Infectious Emergencies: Recognizing and treating abnormal neurologic presentations and acute infections (including best practices for complex UTIs).

• Procedural Competency: Advancing hands-on skills through simulation in airway management, ultrasound-guided vascular access, and splinting.

• Pediatric & Urgent Care: Updates on managing common but high-risk pediatric presentations in the ED.

+ Event Details

• Event: Hot Topics in Emergency Medicine (HTEM) for Advanced Practice Providers 2024

• Date: October 5, 2024 (Saturday)

• Location: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY (1468 Madison Ave)

+ Who Should Attend

While the content is tailored for Advanced Practice Providers (PAs and NPs), the scope makes it highly relevant for:

• Emergency Medicine Physicians: Supervising or working alongside APPs.

• Registered Nurses (RNs): particularly those in trauma or critical care.

• Students & Residents: Seeking a high-yield review of core EM competencies.

• Primary Care Providers: Who handle acute visits and need to know when to refer to the ED.

+ Why Attend

• Tailored for APPs: Few major academic conferences are designed specifically for the APP scope of practice in the emergency room; this event addresses that specific professional niche.

• Mount Sinai Faculty: The course is taught by leading emergency medicine experts from the Mount Sinai Health System, one of the busiest and most respected EM departments in the country.

+ Topics

The 2024 agenda was divided into core clinical blocks and skills workshops:

Clinical Tracks:

• Cardiopulmonary: Acute Heart Failure (Right vs. Left), Respiratory Distress management.

• Neuro & Toxicology: Stroke updates, Seizure management, and overdose protocols.

• Infectious Disease: Sepsis updates, antibiotic stewardship, and emerging pathogens.

• Ortho & Environmental: Management of fractures, dislocations, and environmental exposures.
