This manuscript outlines the history, need, and evolution of gender medicine in emergency care research. Clinical examples are used where sex and gender play a role in diagnosis, management, or prognosis of patients in the emergency department (ED). The ED serves as an ideal setting to advance sex- and gender-specific research as the primary access point for health care for much of the U.S. population, with more than 136 million annual visits. Gender medicine provides the biological and social framework to provide high-quality, safe, equitable, and cost-effective sex- and gender-specific care in the ED. With a 24-hour hospital presence, and with access to high-acuity patients, emergency physicians are well positioned to lead sex- and gender-specific clinical studies for time-sensitive conditions and also to serve as vital partners in interdisciplinary research projects. The ED also provides the primary access point for less life threatening conditions such as substance abuse, mental health, and pain management (both acute and chronic). Because a fifth of the U.S. population is without health insurance, and many more lack a regular provider or rapid access to their providers, the ED is often the only point of contact for advancing gender medicine in this population.

“…Furthermore, confidence in knowledge and self-efficacy in women's health among trainees remains low. 16 Establishing a women's health/SGM curriculum is likely to face the same challenges as other new educational initiatives. We present commonly cited challenges to new educational initiatives and propose strategies to address them.…”

“…Core EM journals are publishing research studies, educational articles, and commentaries related to sex, gender, and women's health with increasing frequency. 2,15,16 In 2013, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Women's Health published findings of a national expert panel summarizing the women's health literature and highlighting opportunities to improve education. The report includes recommendations for curriculum development and calls for the establishment of additional women's health clerkships and fellowships.…”

Foundations for a Novel Emergency Medicine Subspecialty: Sex, Gender, and Women's Health

Sex and gender affect all aspects of health and disease, including pathophysiology, epidemiology, presentation, treatment, and outcomes. Sex-and gender-specific medicine (SGM) is a rapidly developing field rooted in women's health; however, inclusion of SGM in emergency medicine (EM) is currently lacking. Incorporating principles of sex, gender, and women's health into emergency care and training curricula is an important first step toward establishing a novel subspecialty. EM is an ideal specialty to cultivate this new field because of its broad interdisciplinary nature, increasing numbers of patient visits, and support from academic medical centers to promote expertise in women's health. This article describes methods used to establish a new multidisciplinary training program in sex, gender, and women's health based in a department of EM. Women's health and SGM program initiatives span clinical care, patient education, clinical research, resident and fellow training, and faculty development.

Background: Emergency medicine (EM) residents do not generally receive sex-and gender-specific education.There will be increasing attention to this gap as undergraduate medical education integrates it within their curriculum.Methodology: Members of the Sex and Gender in Emergency Medicine (SGEM) Interest Group set out to develop a SGEM toolkit and pilot integrating developed components at multiple residency sites. The curriculum initiative involved a pre-and posttraining assessment that included basic demographics and queries regarding previous training in sex-/gender-based medicine (SGBM). It was administered to PGY-1 to -4 residents who participated in a 3-hour training session that included one small group case-based discussion, two oral board cases, and one simulation and group debriefing.
