Research interest in pediatric emergency medicine fellows.
The authors sought to determine the prevalence and determinants of interest in research careers among pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellows. They performed an electronically distributed national survey of current PEM fellows, assessing demographics, barriers to successful research, and beliefs about research using 4-point ordinal scales. The authors found that most fellows expect to devote a minority of their career to clinical research. Enthusiasm about research was strongly correlated with career research interest.

Update on the health services research doctoral core competencies.
The purpose of this study was to present revised core competencies for doctoral programs in health services research (HSR), modalities to deliver these competencies, and suggested methods for assessing mastery of these competencies. The study concluded that core competencies in HSR are a continually evolving work in progress because new research questions arise, new methods are developed, and the trans-disciplinary nature of the field leads to new multidisciplinary and team building needs.

A statewide surgical coaching program provides opportunity for continuous professional development.
Researchers sought to develop and evaluate a video-based coaching program for board-eligible/certified surgeons. They found that, overall, participants were satisfied with their experience and found the coaching program valuable. Future research to evaluate the impact of coaching on practice change and patient outcomes is recommended.

Research priorities in the utilization and interpretation of diagnostic imaging: Education, assessment, and competency.
A group of radiologists, physicists, and emergency physicians convened at the 2015 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference to discuss and prioritize a research agenda related to education, assessment, and competency in ordering and interpreting diagnostic imaging. In this article, the authors review the supporting reliability and validity evidence and make specific recommendations for future research on the education, competency, and assessment of learning diagnostic imaging.
