Jam it!
This is a great concept — Just A Minute Instant Tutorials – short one minute refresher videos for use on your smartphone, tablet or laptop, either streamed or downloadable.
It is also a great competition.
It comes from the collective brain of Casey Parker, Minh Le Cong and Tim Leeuwenberg — and I suspect at least subconsciously inspired by Matt Dawson and Mike Mallin’s One Minute Ultrasound app — all five will feature at SMACC GOLD too of course.
Here’s the low down as of 5th September 2013, from the JAMIT — Rural Medicine Australia page, where you can submit your entries:

The doctor who exposed his own error
Rather than hiding in shame from his mistakes, Bryan Bledsoe went public to tell the world about his error. Here, he tells me about the reasons behind that decision, and the consequences it has had for his career.
Not only did he survive the terrifying experience of ‘going public’, he actually believes that the publicity benefitted him and others.
Now he is a successful Emergency Physician, and author, in the USA, but back when he was a junior doctor he sent a patient home with tragic consequences. Dr Bledsoe described the details of his clinical encounter to me – the lady came in with a soft cervical collar on a...

Stripping Safely and What Medicare Has to Do With It
At this point, I won't try to repeat what others in the community have already said about the "Strip Safely" [http://www.stripsafely.com/] campaign other than to reiterate some of what I think are their key points, as I have a few points I think are worth noting. The folks at diaTribe have a very well-written summary of what's at stake (see HERE). Also, my friend Riva Greenberg discussed the recent move by Medicare in her Huffington Post column (see http://huff.to/13avkif for details).Let me take a step back and give you some relevant background which is important for my readers to understand the issues.Back in...

Imagining the future
The ACEM conference in Hobart 2012 was an excellent event which juxtaposed art and science with inspiration and education in the setting of stimulation and entertainment.
Thankfully many of the talks and presentations are now being released for general consumption, and we will highlight some of the key speakers and talks on LITFL.
One session I was fortunate to be involved with was on ‘Imagining the future of e-learning and education’ with Prof Kendall Ho and Mr Stephen Atherton. Although this is a long 90 minute session and the slides appear intermittently – there are some great thoughts and learning p...

TechTool review of Figure1 by Movable Science on iOS
Website: – iTunes - Website
Figure1 is really what we have all been talking about in the FOAM world for some time. It’s a way of storing patient photos on your phone, taking consent and sharing them with others for educational purposes.
It’s only out in the US at the moment, but I’ve had a sneak preview to see if it’s up to expectations
Design and User Interface
The design is ok, but could use some work to improve it. The overall style and colour scheme looks great, but the photo feed doesn’t. All you see is giant photos in a long list ...

Emergency Medicine Kwa-Zulu Natal Style
aka Postcards from the Edge 010
Each time we feature a ‘postcard from the edge’ from the somewhat infamous New Zealand-trained emergency physician Dr Sandy Inglis he is somewhere new — we last heard from him as a patient in Italy, now he is back in ancestral lands in Kwa-Zulu Natal.
Only 2 months have past in this, the wild west of Emergency Medicine, and yet the drama, the excitement, the frustration and the chaos make it feel like we have been here for years. I am employed here as the Head of Department for Emergency Medicine, plucked from the comfort of Australasian Emergency Medicine (EM) to come to this ...
