“…These recommendations on the governance of the academic units of EM aim to support the evolution of academic EM and complement the recommendations provided by the funding and leadership panels. 29,30 The Leadership Working Group of the CAEP Academic Section will be addressing each recommendation and will present an update at its next Academic Leadership Symposium to be held in 2018.…”

Objective: 1) To identify the strengths and challenges of governance structures in academic emergency medicine (EM), and 2) to make recommendations on principles and approaches that may guide improvements. Methods: Over the course of 9 months, eight established EM leaders met by teleconference, reviewed the literature, and discussed their findings and experiences to arrive at recommendations on governance in academic units of EM. The results and recommendations were presented at the annual Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP) Academic Symposium, where attendees provided feedback. The updated recommendations were subsequently distributed to the CAEP Academic Section for further input, and the final recommendations were decided by consensus. Results: The panel identified four governance areas of interest: 1) the elements of governance; 2) the relationships between emergency physicians and academic units of EM, and between the academic units of EM and faculty of medicine; 3) current status of governance in Canadian academic units of EM; and 4) essential elements of good governance. Six recommendations were developed around three themes, including 1) the importance of good governance; 2) the purposes of an academic unit of EM; and 3) essential elements for better governance for academic units of EM. Recommendations included identifying the importance of good governance, recognizing the need to adapt to the different models depending on the local environment; seeking full departmental status, provided it is mutually beneficial to EM and the faculty of medicine (and health authority); using a consultation service to learn from the experience of other academic units of EM; and establishing an annual forum for EM leaders. Conclusion:Although governance of academic EM is complex, there are ways to iteratively improve the mission of academic units of EM: providing exceptional patient care through research and education. Although there is no onesize-fits-all guide, there are practical recommended steps for academic units of EM to consider. RÉSUMÉObjectifs: 1) L'étude visait à cerner les forces et les faiblesses des structures de gouvernance dans les unités d'enseignement de la médecine d'urgence (MU) et 2) à formuler des recommandations sur les principes et les voies susceptibles de guider les améliorations. Méthode: Sur une période de 9 mois, huit chefs de file bien établis en MU ont tenu des réunions par téléconférence, ont examiné la documentation et ont discuté des résultats de la recherche et de leurs expériences pour en arriver à l'élabora-tion de recommandations sur la gouvernance des unités d'enseignement de la MU. Les résultats et les recommandations ont été présentés au cours du symposium annuel sur les affaires universitaires de l'Association canadienne des méde-cins d'urgence (ACMU), après quoi les participants ont fait part de leurs observations. Les recommandations ont été modifiées en conséquence, puis transmises à la section des affaires universitaires de l'ACMU pour la collecte d'aut...

“…A consultation service to engage single academic units in more in specific discussions with successful academic leaders is now established through CAEP. Leaders at each academic unit may find useful ideas in the three Leadership reports with recommendations (Leadership, Governance and Administration and Funding 13,14 ). Finally, the working group will continue to discuss how it can best facilitate the recommendations and perhaps bring new information and insights at an update at its next Academic Leadership Symposium, to be held in 2018.…”

Objectives: To describe the current state of academic emergency medicine (EM) funding in Canada and develop recommendations to grow and establish sustainable funding. Methods: A panel of eight leaders from different EM academic units was assembled. Using mixed methods (including a literature review, sharing of professional experiences, a survey of current EM academic heads, and data previously collected from an environmental scan), 10 recommendations were drafted and presented at an academic symposium. Attendee feedback was incorporated, and the second set of draft recommendations was further distributed to the Canadian Association Emergency Physicians (CAEP) Academic Section for additional comments before being finalized. Results: Recommendations were developed around the funding challenges identified and solutions developed by academic EM university-based units across Canada. A strategic plan was seen as integral to achieving strong funding of an EM unit, especially when it aligned with departmental and institutional priorities. A business plan, although occasionally overlooked, was deemed an important component for planning and sustaining the academic mission. A number of recommendations surrounding philanthropy consisted of creating partnerships with existing foundations and engaging multiple stakeholders and communities. Synergy between academic and clinical EM departments was also viewed as an opportunity to ensure integration of common missions. Education and networking for current and future leaders were also viewed as invaluable to ensure that opportunities are optimized through strong leadership development and shared experiences to further the EM academic missions across the country.Conclusions: These recommendations were designed to improve the financial circumstances for many Canadian EM units. There is a considerable wealth of resources that can contribute to financial stability for an academic unit, and an annual networking meeting and continuing education on these issues will facilitate more rapid implementation of these recommendations. RÉSUMÉObjectifs: L'étude visait à décrire l'état actuel du financement des unités d'enseignement de la médecine d'urgence (MU) au Canada et à élaborer des recommandations sur l'accroissement et la durabilité du financement. Méthode: Un groupe composé de huit chefs de file provenant de différentes unités d'enseignement de la MU a été formé. S'appuyant sur diverses méthodes de recherche (examen de la documentation, mise en commun d'expériences professionnelles, enquête menée parmi les directeurs actuels d'unité d'enseignement de la MU et étude de données provenant d'une analyse environnementale antérieure), le groupe a formulé 10 recommandations préliminaires qui ont été présentées au cours du symposium sur les affaires universitaires. Après avoir tenu compte des observations faites par les participants, le groupe a modifié en conséquence les recommandations préliminaires, qu'il a ensuite transmises à la section des affaires universitaires de l'Association ...

“…The 2015 Academic Symposium on leadership provided recommendations for current leaders, regarding leadership strategies, governance, and funding. [12][13][14] Although the need for these recommendations is generally accepted among academics, an environmental scan that characterizes each PEM unit in the areas of leadership, administration, education, research, and funding would clearly articulate to the individual sites their specific strengths to build on and weaknesses to address, when comparing themselves to the national averages. Indeed, an environmental scan of (adult) EM academic units was recently published and identified EM academic units without a university status.…”
