You Down with GME? Yeah, You Know Me- Learning during residency from the residents' perspective

Check out our post on the Down East EM blog for shownotes, references, and more.

 

We talk a fair bit in MedEd (that's medical education for cool people) about how to best teach medicine, but rarely sit down these trainees after they’ve been through to really get a sense of what they think. 

So we sat down with two of our graduating chief residents to ask them their parting thoughts on GME.

When you're intubating a patient, twiddling your thumbs waiting for your induction and paralytic to work, do you ever ask yourself "hmm, should I be bagging this patient?"

In this podcast we talk about that very question and the new data from the PREVENT trial.

The Pressure is ON!! Hypertensive Emergencies in the ED

Hypertensive Emergency is an umbrella term for a wide range of disease processes seen in the ED. They all represent as sick-as-stink patients with critical care up to your eyeballs.

In this podcast we sit down with Dr. Daria Thompson, a pediatric hospitalist at Tufts Medical Center and an old friend of mine to talk ear infections- a common disease commonly diagnosed... and possibly commonly done wrong.

We'll talk definitions of disease, common alternative diagnoses, and treatment plans by age. I assure you- you'll learn something new.

The Subclavian Line: the resuscitation line of champions

Check out the post on SimKit for shownotes, references, and more.

 

Which central venous catheter (CVC) is best for our patients? Is it the internal jugular (IJ), subclavian, or femoral? We all have our go-to, which I would argue for most, is the ultrasound (US) guided IJ. But is that what is best? Is it recommended by our medical societies? To answer this question we dive into the literature . . . I think you’ll be surprised by what we find. (Hint: it’s the Subclavian!!)
