So what is BEEM?  You may have seen that we will use the BEEM process when possible for critically appraising papers.  I'm glad you asked.  BEEM stands for Best Evidence in Emergency Medicine.  It has a series of tools that we really like and plan on using for the website located here.  If you just clicked on it, you realize that once again I borrowed from Ken's website, the Skeptics' Guide to Emergency Medicine.  What can I say?  Don't reinvent the wheel if you don't have to.  

It is worth taking a look at the tools though.  We will be using this regularly and this will be the shortcut that I plan on using when reviewing these papers.  Consider adding it as a bookmark or favorite since we will continue to go back to this helpful site on the SGEM page.
