As transgender health is an emerging field, a large knowledge gap exists among providers when caring for these patients, and this leaves many health care teams inadequately prepared to establish effective communication with their LGBTQ patiens, increasing the risk of less-than-optimal care. It's essential for the emergency physicians to be aware of the unique approach to care for trans patients.

Written by residents for residents, this book offers essential tools for becoming astute educators. Informational chapters on learning theories, mentorship, bedside teaching, clinical reasoning, remediation, and more help provide structure and guidance while crystalizing the privileges and pressures of being a resident educator.

Global Emergency Medicine is a burgeoning field, helping to improve medical care around the globe. The possibilities to contribute are endless, but learning how to becoming involved can be intimidating.

We systematically update Cumitechs, and these revised documents are now named Practical Guidance for Clinical Microbiology (PGCM) and are published in Clinical Microbiology Reviews. These PGCM documents provide general guidance for clinical microbiologists, emphasizing current diagnostic methods and their appropriate implementation. Furthermore, the documents link microbiologic practice to current clinical and scientific issues (such as COVID-19). They become freely accessible 1 year after publication.

As of June 2024, the following PGCMs are available:

Practical Guidance for Clinical Microbiology Laboratories: Microbiologic Diagnosis of Implant-Associated Infections (2024) provides an overview of microbiologic approaches to diagnosis of implant-associated infections. Many prosthetic devices are discussed, including orthopedic hardware and implants of cardiovascular, intravascular, neurosurgical, urologic and gastrointestinal origins. Guidance on sonication, optimal number of specimens and ancillary diagnostic tests is provided.

Diagnosis of Ocular Infections (2021) begins by describing the complex, delicate anatomy of the eye, which often leads to limitations in specimen quantity. This update highlights and provides examples of the close work required between laboratorians and ophthalmologists to ensure high-quality diagnostic care. It also describes common ocular infections in developed nations and usual as well as neglected ocular infections seen in developing nations. Subsequently, preanalytic, analytic, and postanalytic aspects of laboratory diagnosis and antimicrobial susceptibility testing are explored in depth. It replaces Cumitech 13B, Laboratory Diagnosis of Ocular Infections (2011).

Practical Guidance for Clinical Microbiology Laboratories: A Comprehensive Update on the Problem of Blood Culture Contamination and a Discussion of Methods for Addressing the Problem (2019) presents a comprehensive discussion of matters related to the problem of blood culture contamination. Issues addressed include the scope and magnitude of the problem, the bacteria most often recognized as contaminants, the impact of blood culture contamination on clinical microbiology laboratory function, the economic and clinical ramifications of contamination, and, perhaps most importantly, a systematic discussion of solutions to the problem. The material covered in this PGCM replaces that related to blood culture contamination in Cumitech 1C, Blood Cultures IV (2005). The prior Cumitech 1C content unrelated to blood culture contamination is not covered in this PGCM document. Work will continue to ensure that ASM provides updates of that information.

Practical Guidance for Clinical Microbiology Laboratories: Viruses Causing Acute Respiratory Tract Infections (2019) covers best practices for diagnosis and characterization of viruses that cause acute respiratory infections (ARIs). The update highlights recent epidemiology, specimen collection guidance, current diagnostic methods and antiviral resistance. The update addresses appropriate laboratory utilization of diagnostic respiratory viral testing. It replaces Cumitech 21, Laboratory Diagnosis of Viral Respiratory Disease (1986), which focused mostly on antigen detection and viral culture as diagnostic methods. Unlike Cumitech 21, which covered additional viruses, this PGCM covers ARI-causing viruses only.
