  • HEMEF reimburses conference registration fees for Emergency Medicine Residency trainees Fellows Faculty and Administrative Staff to support the educational program and the delivery of Emergency Medical care in Southern California. The program supports 64 residents annually as well as 25 faculty members and 6 fellows. Some courses include a Neonatal Resuscitation course and a Research conference in Academic Emergency Medicine SAEM. We support the program by sending their future Chief Residents to a leadership conference with the national Accrediting body ACGME and all of the senior residents to the annual academic assembly of the American College of Emergency Medicine. Any resident who has research accepted for presentation at National Regional or Local Conferences will be reimbursed through this fund for the registration fees. Travel reimbursement is listed separately. We also provide food for our local conferences smaller group sessions and reimbursement for food while traveling to away conferences to support the affordability to attending and presenting at these educational experiences.

    Expenses $52,345

The largest project IT cost was based on a grant to create an online screening tool for adult and pediatric patients to assess their social needs determine their understanding of access to resources within the community and assess if it is feasible for staff in the ED to perform this screening. The goal is to establish a resource database specifically for patients at Harbor-UCLA. Costs include the creation and maintenance of the website data reporting systems and analytic. The remainder of IT costs include Ultrasound-based educational programs for research projects and iPads for similar projects. Additionally subscriptions to programming that allows for the ease of scheduling are critical to manage the complexities of staffing the busy department. A minor component of this item includes the programming that performs payroll and pdf editing.

    Expenses $41,022 · Grants $378,220

  • This item represents a number of general office supplies such as paper stamps and printing costs for alumni relations.

This system also allows the residents to ensure that each trainee has a similar schedule compared to others and provides data summaries which are critical for the accrediting body ACGME. Additionally subscriptions to educational programs allow residents to prepare and self-study for their future board certification examinations and also to practice medical Spanish a skill that makes their job in Southern California easier to perform and also makes them more marketable for future employment.
