SMACCtastic PK talks!
The first crop of PK SMACC-talks have been uploaded to the SMACC website. I’m blown away by how good they are. Well done to all those that have taken part so far for providing such fabulous contributions to FOAM. The talks are uniformly excellent, engaging and edutaining. The 400 second format with 20 slides of 20 seconds each makes for a punchy, high impact and high yield presentation.  Those of you thinking about submitting a PK SMACC-talk, get it in here ASAP as the deadline is approaching and there are 3 iPad minis to be won (I’m hoping the deadline will be extended, but there’s no guarantee…)....

New Years Greetings
I am having a new year tidy up before life gets busy again. I am not going to say I have a new years resolution to post more as that is most often the best way to ensure it doesn’t happen! So I am going to apply some occupational therapy wisdom (not sure occupational therapy can own it, but we do use it a lot with clients) ‘”start with small steps and you will be surprised at the opportunities and possibilities that unfold”. Todays small step is to tell you that we are about to do some work upgrading the website everydaymadeeasier.blogspot.com  Please go and look at it and give us your thoughts on...

GMEP Media Library
The LITFL team have been hard at work creating the Global Medical Education Project - but less hard at work actually explaining what it is and how it works… We are responding to the masses of emails and comments collated to date following the first month of release of GMEP phase 1 – by creating a GMEP FAQ page here on LITFL. Hopefully this will make the wary, less suspicious; the tentative, indomitable and the apathetic, captivated.

It is that time of year…a time to sit back (momentarily) and reflect on the last 12 months A time to be thankful, and to thank those for making the LITFL blog possible and a time to look to the future The Life in the Fast Lane project arose out of a need to share collated and curated content, to create a conversation in the emergency medicine and critical care blogosphere and to improve the provision of adjunctive education for all.
