Abstract：
:Academic emergency departments (EDs) play a vital role in provision of emergency care and contribute to training of resident physicians. Academic EDs also generate innovations and discoveries through clinical research within academic medical centers. However, academic EDs face challenges when initiating operational process improvement efforts because of the medical complexity of patients, academic culture within academic medical centers, and variability in productivity and specialty training of trainees. To optimize operations within academic EDs, it is critical to understand characteristics shared by academic EDs, how to implement process improvement initiatives, trainee impact on ED operations, and how to promote operational research.
