EmergiQuiz is an annual case-based presentation series sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Emergency Medicine that challenges the audience to think through the differential diagnosis for a complex case. Each year, four pediatric emergency medicine fellows are chosen from a large pool of submissions to present a case.
First, fellows present “Part 1”. During this portion of the presentation, the fellow describes the presentation to the emergency department (ED) and initial studies obtained.
Next, another fellow, who has received only this portion of the case in advance, takes the information the team had in the ED and works through the differential diagnosis During “Part 2”. They then make the best guess on the final diagnosis.
Finally, the original fellow presenter returns to present “Part 3”, which continues the case after admission to the time of final diagnosis, followed by a brief review of the final disease process.
You can check out all 4 of this year’s cases (titles and presenters listed below) at EmergiQuiz.com. Each case is in 3 parts as noted above, with video case presentation and discussion recordings.
