Free Open-Access Medical Education in Emergency Medicine
Over the past 20 years the Internet has spawned a huge number of blogs, podcasts, videos and wikis on a countless number of topics and emergency medicine has been no exception.1 At the intersection of social media and critical care, the astoundingly popular Free Open-Access Medical Education (FOAM), or #FOAMed, movement has emerged as a force to be reckoned with.2 According to Symplur, which tracks healthcare-related hashtags, there were almost 900 million Twitter impressions containing the #FOAMed hashtag in 2014. (See Figure 1.) At the June 2015 Social Media and Critical Care Conference in Chicago, the "tribes"...

Is the long case dead? ‘Uh, I don't think so’: the Uh/Um Index
Abstract Current tools for clinical assessment are tedious and time‐consuming, particularly the dreadful long case. There is a need for novel instruments that incorporate other aspects of competence. We propose such a method, namely the Uh/Um Index. Our innovation paper describes the rationale for using speech dysfluency and occurrences of filler words such as ‘uh’ and ‘um’ as a proxy for competence. This appears to have won initial support from senior clinicians in our institution. Additional research is needed (non‐restricted grants are welcomed) to establish rigorous standard setting and to fund our attendan...

Resident Empowerment as a Driving Theme of Graduate Medical Education Reform
Through a series of six recent conferences, the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation wanted to try to change the discussion about graduate medical education (GME) reform to one that is about the innovations needed to better prepare residents for the changing world of practice they will be entering and for meeting the needs of the patient population they will serve. These conferences featured some of the encouraging innovations in GME that are occurring at local and regional levels. An ongoing theme from many of these reforms is the empowerment of residents. The author examines what it would mean for health care systems, residency pr...

Entrustable professional activities in postgraduate general surgery training: a scoping review protocol
Introduction The competency-based medical education (CBME) movement continues to gain momentum in postgraduate physician training, resulting in increasing interest among surgical training programmes on how to implement it effectively. Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) were introduced to connect competencies (characteristics/abilities of learners) and the professional activities to be entrusted to them on qualification/graduation. Although reviews related to the field of general surgery have been published on specific aspects of CBME, for example, workplace-based assessment, there is a paucity of published guidance...

Influences and outcomes of less than full-time working in the medical profession: a systematic review protocol
Introduction An impoverished medical workforce is a global phenomenon, which can impact patient care significantly. Greater flexibility in working patterns is one approach policy-makers adopt to address this issue, and the expansion of less than full-time (LTFT) working forms part of this. Studies suggest that LTFT working has the potential to improve recruitment and retention by aligning with how doctors increasingly want to balance their careers with other commitments and interests. What is less well understood are the influencing factors and outcomes related to LTFT working among doctors. This protocol outlines the meth...
