| Longitudinal Study of Emergency Medicine Physicians Overview | | Since 1994, a group of emergency physicians has participated in the Longitudinal Study of Emergency Physicians (LSEP), which was designed to answer a series of questions about the practice of Emergency Medicine. The study consists of a comprehensive survey administered every five years, e.g., 1994, 1999, and 2004, and shorter surveys administered yearly. With the addition of a cohort of new residency-trained physicians in 1999 and again in 2004, there are currently nearly 1,300 emergency physicians participating in the study. Additional panels are added every five years.
The LSEP seeks to describe the realities of practice in the specialty of Emergency Medicine, the relationship of the specialty to the personal lives and well-being of emergency physicians, profiles of the population of emergency physicians, and changes that appear in these factors over time.
The LSEP collects information related to the following five areas:
- Professional Interests, Attitudes, and Goals
- Training, Certification, and Licensing
- Professional Experience
- Well-being and Leisure Activities
- Demographic Information
Links to each of the surveys, as well as links to reports on the surveys are provided below.
