Resident remediation is a complex and common issue in emergency medicine programs and requires a specific knowledge base. The Remediation Task Force ( RTF ) of the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine ( CORD ‐ EM ) was created to identify remediation best practices and to develop tools for program directors. Initially housed on a Wiki page, and now located within the CORD ‐ EM website, the RTF provides resources including accepted universal language for documentation and sample remediation plans. The RTF also created a remediation consult service composed of experienced educators to provide real‐time structured feedback and advice to submitted remediation scenarios with consultation outcomes and conclusions uploaded to the website. CORD ‐ EM members now have easy access to online resources and expert advice for remediation queries through the consult service. The combination of online resources and access to real‐time expert advice is an innovative approach to improving resident remediation and recognizing best practices.
