About The ProjectWe are here to provide TOTAL care everywhere!
TOTAL EM is a project devoted to increasing emergency medicine knowledge both to providers and the public. As demonstrated with previous studies, it can take too long for information to reach the bedside. The Leaky Pipe model has been suggested as reasons why this happens. We want to do our part to help shorten the period of time it takes for important medical knowledge in emergency medicine to reach the provider and the patient. We also want to help educate people across the world in how emergency medicine is an important and lifesaving profession. Our goal is to provide regularly updated information through the method of FOAMED or Free and Open Access to Medical EDucation. The plan is to do this with blogs and podcasts. With your help, we plan to accomplish just that. |
