EMNP Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Do you guys have any recommendations on any emergency medicine books I can purchase to study? As mentioned in earlier posts; I am interested in working at an UC or ER. My background is inpatient cardiology and inpatient palliative medicine. Thanks in advance!

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted June 21, 2020 Moderator Share Posted June 21, 2020 Are you looking for actual texts or things to carry around? For on shift, Emergency medicine pocket book. Text, I have tintanilli’s, but like Rosen better. A little more intellectual. There are lots more for wilderness medicine, tox, resuscitations, but I rather just have an EMRAP subscription that’s comes with corependium and listen to crack cast as well for the beginner. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAdamsPAC Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Tarascon offers an excellent selection of pocket references that are perfect for the UC & ED environments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 EMA->now EM-RAP was my knowledge base/reference when I started/continued in EM. EM-RAP bought out EMA w/ Bukata/Hoffman a couple of years back. Texts are outdated when published. Web-based in theory is up to the minute. You can always go online and search their database when needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta learn the basics before you start learning all the advanced stuff that probably isn’t even standard of care yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiovolffemtp Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 For on-the-job: free subscription to Medscape. Very well organized. I actually like it better than UpToDate. Free version of Epocrates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in an emergency room, I specialize in EM lol I don’t really care, but some people do make a stink over this. Mostly people who are from the old days when EM was new and not taken seriously as a specialty because they thought any physician could work in an emergency room. Sounds familiar though...

Even if it is not required now, there will come a day when it will be and they will be ahead of the game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemedic Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'd recommend a procedure book. Roberts and Hedges is considered the standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
