First10EM Journal Club: May 2024
Another month and another batch of fascinating papers from the Morgenstern vaults. This month is heavy on dermatology for some reason… but still plenty of EBM, Crit care and laughs. Join Justin and I for a sold 80 minutes of nerdy evidence-based ED care. As always, the free PDF version of each of the papers discussed is linked below – so you can check it out for yourself. You could use these for your own local journal club. Don’t forget Justin has a stream on his Youtube channel that does include this podcast and his deeper dives into the data – HERE
You can also check out some random ultrasound education and other goodies on the Broomedocs Youtube channel
