EM Education Podcasts and Websites

This is a short episode on the EM podcasts and websites that I recommend to further your education.  Since I take no money from anyone, these are my unbiased opinions of the best podcasts and websites out there.  There are many more podcasts and websites out there- these are the ones that I like.  If you have suggestions for podcasts or websites to add, please email me and I’ll add them to the list.

EM Education Podcasts and Websites

Here are the links to the podcasts and websites that I talk about with a short description:

Paid Podcasts:

EM:RAP (Emergency Medicine Reviews and Perspectives): The gold standard in emergency medicine education, join ACEP and EMRA for 55 bucks a year to get it for free

EMA (Emergency Medical Abstracts): A fast paced monthly review of the literature, also free with ACEP and EMRA membership, both EM:RAP and EMA are available through the EMRA website

EMCast: Monthly reviews from Dr. Amal Mattu and company on emedhome.com.  Costs 30 bucks a year as a resident but totally worth it

 

Free Podcasts:

EMCrit: Emergency medicine critical care topics from Dr Scott Weingart.  Use with caution if you’re a beginner but its really cutting edge stuff.  Free in iTunes and on his website at emcrit.org

ERCast: A community emergency medicine doc getting curbside consultation from all sorts of specialists.  A great practice based podcast.  Free on iTunes and on his website at ercast.org

SMART:EM: Deep dives on the literature behind basic things we do in medicine.  Once again, use with caution if you’re a beginner but you won’t find information like this anywhere else.  Free on iTunes and at smartem.org

 

Free websites:

Resus.me: Made by Dr. Cliff Reid, an EM doc in Australia.  Summarizes EM relevant literature from all over the globe

Life in the Fast Lane: EM docs in Australia that have their own mix of education and humor that’s hard to beat

EMTOC: Made by Dr Wes Baber, a third year senior resident at Brooke Army Medical Center.  A central hub for the SAUSHEC EM residency but also full of EM educational videos that are really slick.

    I’m an M1 and I just started listening to your podcast. I know this may sound burdensome, but if you want it would be helpful to have a very short key points PDF along side each podcast you do. A short need to know type of document or outline. Anyway, just an idea and good luck.

      Hey Robert,

      Thanks for listening. I have been meaning to put together show notes for a while. I am planning on doing that in the near future- keep an eye out of the next few weeks and I’ll start posting them up as I have time.

      Thanks

      Steve

      Hey Robert

      Just wanted to reply and let you know that I just posted the chest pain show notes- the link to the post is below. I’ll be working on the other episodes in the next few weeks. Take a look at the chest pain notes and let me know if this was what you were thinking of. I formatted it so that it’s portable and can fit into a white coat pocket. Let me know what you think and thanks for listening.
