The CCTST Acute Care Research Core (ACRC) hosted its 3rd Annual ACRC Symposium on November 20, 2023. This year’s symposium theme was “Cutting-Edge Research, Innovation and Advancements in Acute Care”. 

The symposium featured keynote speaker, Francis X. Guyette, MD, MS, MPH, from the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Guyette's presentation was entitled, "Innovating in Prehospital Investigation, Shedding LITES and Making a PACT with PAIN".

Additional events included a presentation from David Ficker, MD, Michael Linke, PhD, and David Robinson, MD entitled, “Minimal Risk Studies in High Risk Clinical Settings”, presentations from previous ACRC awardees (names and presentations listed below), along with a panel discussion regarding consent strategies in acute care research.

Slides from the symposium can be viewed here.

The goal of this annual event is to highlight leadership and innovation in the challenging acute care research setting, and to promote awareness and foster collaboration regarding cutting-edge research being conducted at Cincinnati’s Academic Health Center. Acute care research is defined as research that occurs within 24 hours of a visit to an emergency department or an unscheduled admission, or within 24 hours of identification of a new or worsening condition characterized by sudden onset requiring immediate care.
