Abstract

Surgical residency training should be changed to provide much needed surgical manpower to rural America. Small-town and rural surgery practices demand that surgeons see and treat their patients as people. If rural surgery could become a real option for young surgeons, it could bring about a change in the sometimes adversarial relationship between patients and their physicians.

Implementing emergency research requiring exception from informed consent, community consultation, and public disclosure.

Conducting emergency research in the out-of-hospital and emergency department setting is a challenge because of the inability of patients to provide informed consent in many situations. Federal guidelines allowing research under an exception from informed consent for emergency research have been established (21 CRF 50.24). Community consultation and public disclosure, 2 required components of obtaining this exception, are seen by many as a barrier to resuscitation research. This article will provide a brief overview of the history of the exception from informed consent for emergency research and summarize our methods recently used to successfully complete community consultation and public disclosure for a trial evaluating 2 devices used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large metropolitan area.
