The 2014 Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM) consensus conference “Gender‐Specific Research in Emergency Medicine: Investigate, Understand, and Translate How Gender Affects Patient Outcomes” convened a diverse group of stakeholders to target gaps in emergency medicine ( EM ) sex‐ and gender‐specific research and identify research priorities. At the close of the conference, the executive committee sought feedback from group leaders and conference attendees about the next critical steps in EM sex‐ and gender‐specific research, goals for their own future research, and anticipated barriers in pursuing this research. This article summarizes this feedback on the future directions in sex‐ and gender‐specific research in emergency care and strategies to overcome barriers.
