CCC Update 007
Hopefully you are well aware of LITFL’s Critical Care Compendium. It started out as a resource for the FCICM exam — which it is — but has grown into a 1500+ page mega-paedia of critical care. If something isn’t there and you think it should be, let me know and I’ll make it happen. If you are having trouble accessing some pages it is because LITFL has undergone a bit of spring cleaning. The “education/” part of the URL for CCC pages has been removed. For example: http://lifeinthefastlane.com/education/ccc/burnout/ is now http://lifeinthefastlane.com/ccc/burnout/ The links in the searchable...

Jamm it!
This is a great concept — Just A Minute Medicine Instant Tutorials – short one minute refresher videos for use on your smartphone, tablet or laptop, either streamed or downloadable. It is also a great competition. It comes from the collective brain of Casey Parker, Minh Le Cong and Tim Leeuwenberg — and I suspect at least subconsciously inspired by Matt Dawson and Mike Mallin’s One Minute Ultrasound app — all five will feature at SMACC GOLD too of course. Here’s the low down, ripped from the PHARM blog: Overview: JAMM (Just a Minute Medicine) is a FOAMEd ( Free Open Access Medical Education) conc...
