No, not the soapy stuff dripping out of the wall dispenser. FOAM = Free Open Access Meducation (Twitter hashtag #FOAMed). For an in-depth review visit this page by the folks at life in the Fast Lane.
The concept has really exploded over the past couple of years and many, many excellent resources can be found online. Check out the following links for the top three uber-directories:
- FOAMsearch.net (previously EMGoogle.com) – Specialized google search of virtually every free EM and CC resource.
- EMCC Ultimate Blogroll and Database from LIFTL
- FOAMem (http://foamem.com), your one-stop shop Emergency Medicine and Critical Care RSS feed
- Visit this page for a listing of upcoming EM, CC, Med Ed, Social Media, and Bioethics conferences.
Also, see my Blogroll (on the homepage, to the right) for all the sites I visit regularly. Here is a video of the Top 10 EM-CC Blogs I did at SAEM 2012 with Scott Joing.

I’ll be using this page to archive talks, workshops and other educational projects as they come along. These are mostly geared towards junior physicians and to students of the health professions. If you’d like access to downloadable versions of the files or specific images, let me know. All files posted here are my original work. Feel free to use them as you like, but please provide appropriate reference. All are works in progress and will be updated from time to time – suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated!
