Hello everyone,

Thank you to those of you who passed up Ponte Vedra or new jobs to come to conference this week. Many thanks to our resident speakers, Matt, Shefali and Bing, and to our faculty presenters — Dr. Spina and Dr. Nassisi. Also thanks to the neurology department for their participation in our joint conference.

Below are some topics from conference that for which I found more resources, or that I just thought warranted repeating.  Feel free to add your own thoughts in the comments section.

Ted and Mark both gave their senior talks recently, and they mentioned a few useful clinical resources online that I thought were worth highlighting here.

The first is EM Peds,  Mark’s masterful new pediatric emergency medicine website. One-stop shopping for calculators, med options and dosing, clinical algorithms, and more. It’s found a permanent home now under this site’s ‘clinical’ tab, but check on it often.

Also,  Ted highlighted a bunch of sites worth visiting. He points us to the EM Foundation grant application page, the ACEP chapter grant page, and the guide to section grants. He also showed a list of awards available to EM residents, that I’m happy to share with you over email. There’s also this nifty SAEM website on resident resources.

For the teacher in all of us, visit residentteachers.org for some tips and videos on how to be a more effective educator. For the businessperson in all of us, consider the emcare conference for senior residents.

Thanks to all who stopped by our Innovations inEM Education booth at SAEM these past few days. Your input and encouragement were appreciated! The abstract is now online and an MS-Word version of our informational pamphlet is available for download.  

 For those of you who wanted to discuss things further, my email is Nicholas.Genes /at/ mssm.edu.

If you know of more, please share! The idea of putting EM Journal Clubs online, for prompt bedside access, goes back a few years…
