International CME: European Accreditation Council of Continuing Medical Education Conference Highlights New Accreditation Requirements
The Journal of European Continuing Medical Education recently published a recap of this year’s “Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes” (UEMS) Conference on continuing medical education (CME) in Europe. We have provided highlights from the conference report, written by Julie Simper, below.

Iowa Accountability Program’s Judicial Training Institute Aims at Improving the Handling of Domestic Violence Cases
Domestic violence is an epidemic that impacts an estimated 6,000 Iowans each year. While many view domestic violence as a private issue, Kimberly Baxter, Director of the Iowa Accountability Program, identifies how domestic violence is truly a community concern: “Domestic violence affects everyone from service providers to families and the community at large. We need to address domestic violence as a community. Brutality behind closed doors is not only real, but also taboo. It is not something we want to discuss, but if we cannot discuss it, how can we address it? How can we mitigate it?” For nearly ten years the Iowa A...

IVF process versus outcome
The outcome of an IVF cycle is always uncertain . When a cycle fails, the patient is never sure whether the failure was because the right process was not followed, or because of plain bad luck or an intrinsic biological problem ( for example, women with poor quality eggs have a low chances of success, no matter how good the quality of medical care they receive)How does the patient judge the quality of care provided – whether or not the doctor did a good job technically and followed all the right medical processes ?Sadly, most patients are never certain whether she should change the doctor for her next cycle; or if ...

TechTool Thursday 054 Resus Code Apps
TechTool review Code Apps for iOS – multiple developers
For most of us, full-blown resuscitations are the most exciting and terrifying parts of our job. Someone is always allocated to be the scribe – but are there any apps that can make this job easier?
I’ve been having a look at apps for keeping track of resus situations – specifically which drugs are given when, and general resus progress. I assumed there would be hundreds of these apps out there, but when it came down to it, I could only find a few that fitted the bill.
Here I compare three iOS apps for this purpose:
