As an educator, I am interested in how trainees can use open educational resources to accelerate their professional growth. We describe how residents use #FOAMed to enhance their understanding of the literature. We call this model the "Journal Club 3.0." https://t.co/zMDnGl0yfU

🚨 ED overcrowding is not an emergency department problem.

It is a health system failure.

The new CAEP position statement argues that hospital access block, not inappropriate ED use, is the primary driver of crowding. Patients waiting for inpatient beds experience worse outcomes, while clinicians face increasing burnout and moral distress.

Key messages:
✅ Overcrowding is a patient safety crisis
✅ Access block is the main cause
✅ Boarding harms patients and staff
✅ Hospitals need occupancy targets, flow accountability, and discharge capacity
✅ Governments must expand acute, long-term, community, and mental health care capacity

The solution is not "fixing the ED."
The solution is fixing patient flow across the entire health system.

Risk factors for acute appendicitis among adult patients with indeterminate US https://t.co/3RAt9h4CTA
For patients suspected of appy & indeterminate US, the absence of an elevated neutrophil count and secondary signs of inflammation are associated with a low probability of appy

Such an excellent review of ECG findings in occlusion MI in @AnnalsofEM

A lot of value in reading and collaborating with our colleagues in other departments. Recommend reading!

Our new paper explores how pass/fail grading has created a "shadow economy of effort," as medical students engage in extracurricular activities to compete for residency positions, often at the expense of clinical skill and well-being. @Midwest_MedPeds

Shorter courses of antibiotics

Antimicrobial resistance is an urgent threat

Longer antibiotic courses increase the likelihood of adverse effects and resistance

Most acute community-acquired infections can be treated with 5–7 days of antibiotics

It is with absolute profound sadness that CAEP has learned of the sudden passing of Past President Dr. Jill McEwen. Dr. McEwen was an Emergency Medicine legend who broke down barriers forging a path for female Emergency Physicians in the generations that followed her. 🧵

In the PARAMEDIC-3 trial involving adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, an intraosseous-first strategy for vascular access did not result in a higher incidence of 30-day survival than an intravenous-first strategy. Full trial results: https://t.co/JaFt5ad8nO
