Someone just sent me a pm saying they had gotten an em job and asked me for some advice as they thought I was the "guru of em". My response as it might be helpful to others:

 

RCDavis is the guru. I am but a lowly padawan in his shadow.

 

Get the following books:

Minor emergencies from splinters to fractures

Emergency medicine secrets

Essentials of musculoskeletal care

sanfords pocket guide to infectious disease

tarascon pocket pharmacopeia

 

if not already taken take acls, atls, pals courses

check this out:

best of luck in your em journey

EMRAP is just about the gold standard for ER podcasts. There are several out there that are excellent too, but EMRAP was first and covers the widest ground, and they feature many of the same people who run the other podcasts.

 

To me, it's money well spent. And yes, since it's AMA category 1, it's suitable for us too.

I would also add EMRA Antibiotic Guide to the list of books - pretty useful and straightforward. I think it comes as an app now too.

 

That, Minor Emergencies, Up to Date, and to a lesser extent, Tintinalli, are pretty much my go-tos.

yup, either sanfords or emra for Abx guide. I liek sanfords better.
