Jessie Nelson brings a strong yet humble voice to emergency medicine. My interview with her uncovers great tips for supervision of residents and PAs, avoiding interruptions and finding the right pace of work to shoot for in the academic trenches. I wish I could ramble on here about all the various ways she’s made our department better – disaster, conference education, sim model development, bedside teaching. But it’s better to just listen and hear her talk about.
