We’ve got 10 high-yield topics coming your way on everything from chest pain to trauma, so stay tuned for some great content!

We also have some pretty sweet bonus features in the works. Each episode will be paired with a question bank, show notes, and a cheat sheet jam-packed with helpful content you can pull up on shift.

Episode 1 – Introduction to the ED

Episode 1 is a basic introduction to working in the emergency department and covers topics like forming your differential, making a plan, and presenting to staff.

The attending physician helping us out this week is Dr. Teresa Chan, an emergency physician and assistant professor at McMaster University. Dr. Chan’s research focuses on medical education innovation and improving learning for trainees.

Please note that E01 EM101 has been updated, with a revised section which more clearly explains the ABCs!

Cheat Sheet

Careful there! A previous version of the Episode 1 Cheat Sheet has been corrected. Please note the correct ibuprofen dose should read “400 mg PO” and the correct hydromorphone dose should read “1-2 mg PO.”
