The ALiEM ERLI (pronounced as “early”) is a collaborative research network, focused on a data-driven approach to advancing medical education and mentoring future education researchers who support our mission.
We are physicians, scientists, and educators working together to continually improve the way we do medical education by finding, sharing, and implementing the best possible evidence. Prior accomplishments include:
- An evidence-based resident wellness curriculum
- Educator toolkits for mindfulness, positive psychology, and second victim syndrome
- A national EM resident burnout survey
- A quick tool to screen physicians for burnout

Residency Wellbeing Innovation Hub
Our current primary focus within education research is on resident wellbeing. As result, we have collected a robust database of innovations after we asked emergency medicine residency leaders for their MOST EFFECTIVE interventions in their programs. We are thrilled to share this crowdsourced data with the collective education community.
