6 – FoaMed, Teaching EM

by St.Emlyns, Prof Simon Carley, Manchester

FOAMed has been around for a while now and it’s growing year on year. The academics, the journals and the learners are increasingly engaged with

#FOAMed resources and so it’s something we need to know about.

It matters now because learners are using it or should be using it.

We do know that #FOAMed well established and we know that people are using it, but how do we make it work for our departmental teaching

Learn to use #FOAMed as a tool for communicating, learning, exchanging thoughts, challenging yourself and making friends in Emergency Medicine around the world.

Learn to contribute in #FoaMed. Why?

You can be a better, more engaging teacher and medical educator. It's like magic.

Try it. You wont regret it.
