About BoringEM

The BoringEM blog was inspired by the realization that that the majority of Free Open-Access Meducation (FOAM) is about sexy stuff. Ultrasound and critical care are awesome, but the boring (but common and important) aspects of emergency medicine also need some love. This site attempts to fill that niche by publishing on EM topics of intense disinterest.

New sections of BoringEM have been built to house advice to medical students (Mentorship) and thoughts on knowledge translation. BoringEM is supporting the development of FOAM in Canada by housing a blogroll of Canadian FOAM websites, contributing to the USask FOAM Collaborative and promoting the Canadian FOAM of the Week.

If you are interested in contributing, consider writing for BoringEM.

I love tinkering with technology, the outdoors, photography and playing with my kids. In an attempt to delay the onset of dementia, I'm learning to play the bagpipes...
