You may wonder "how to contribute"
Promoting Emergency Medicine and improving undergraduate Emergency Medicine education (UEME) are the responsibility of all of us. We believe that every academician, emergency physician, resident, intern, and the student has something to share with others, especially with who have limited resources.
Well... There are many ways...
There are multiple ways to participate this global initiative. You can review the below options and contact us.
Be An Author In The Blog
The medicine is changing very fast, and content is becoming outdated over time. Furthermore, there are many important messages, topics, simple but important things we need to share with students/interns. Therefore, we open the blog section to emphasize some of them with short posts, screencasts, podcasts, infographics.
Be A Medical Image/Video Contributor
Finding freely available medical clinical pictures, videos, imaging pictures, etc. to use in the book formats is not easy. Actually, we recommend you to search on the internet and see the results. Although the internet is full of medical media, their quality, relevance, and permissions are not fully fit to use them in our chapters. Our authors tried their best to give original media and find the best freely available media options. However, there are a lot of media needed to provide a good resource for our trainees and educators in a complete package. Therefore, your contribution will be appreciated. We will use the image/video with your name (see example)
Be a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) Developer/Faculty for Medical Students/Interns
If you read the articles regarding emergency medicine clerkships in the world or if you travel the countries and discuss their undergraduate education with some of the local leaders, you easily recognize that there is a lot of gap between countries. Today, there are very few countries in the world has appropriately designed undergraduate emergency medicine education programs in their medical schools. The majority of the countries (even some developed ones) have no guideline, curriculum, enough resources (faculty members, etc.). This is one of the things we need to change as medical educators/enthusiasts. But, it will take decades. Until that time, we need to do something for undergraduate emergency medicine education globally. We need to provide some important aspects of the emergency medicine curriculum with well-designed modules and make it freely available. This will help to medical students/interns, first-year residents, clerkship directors who have limited resources. Therefore, two to three years time, we are planning to open these modules. If you eager to part of this, you are welcome.
