Video lecture resources in EM


A reader, David, an Emergency Medicine resident from Sweden, recently emailed me to ask about good video lecture resources in Emergency Medicine. I thought I would poll everyone and crowdsource out this question.

Thus far, we came up with the following:

  • This site hosts lectures, which were held at joint conferences amongst the Los Angeles EM residency programs.
  • This site is hosted under EM:RAP.
2. CMEdownload (One-time $350 subscription)
  • This site is run by my friend, Dr. Diku Mandavia. This site has recorded over 2,000 lectures from various national conferences.
3. Emedhome ($79/year)
  • This site was one of the original online EM educational resources and is run by my friend, Dr. Rick Nunez.
  • This site hosts not only video lectures, but also an "EMCast" podcast by Dr. Amal Mattu and various online articles.
4. EM:RAP TV (free)
  • This site (EM Reviews And Perspectives), hosted by my friend Dr. Mel Herbert, hosts short snippets of focused clinical knowledge, in a casual format.
  • Most videos are 2-10 minutes long.
5. USC Essentials ($450/yr, or $98/yr for residents and medical students)
  • This site hosts lectures from USC's popular Essentials CME course, dating back to 2006.
  • Hosted under EM:RAP.
Any other good video-based resources in Emergency Medicine?

Disclaimer: I have no financial ties with any of these groups.

  1. In the meantime I've also found www.emcorecontent.com which Mel B himself describes as "has the most educational material and is our grand rounds and student teaching sessions. It has hundreds of hours of material and about 5 more hours each week"

    I am getting confused!

  2. Good find! Mel's hosting tons of different multimedia resources. It looks like emcorecontent is from the weekly USC residency conferences. Cost:

    1 Year Subscription (Regular Rate) - $299
    1 Year Subscription (PA / NP / RN or other Staff) - $199
    1 Year Subscription (Resident / Housestaff / Student) - $99

    You really can't go wrong with any of the options listed. You might start listening to the free ones to get a sense if you like this approach to learning.

  4. Hey Sa'ad: Terrific sites. Thanks for mentioning them. Looks like the UEMS Buffalo site (free) uses Captivate and InTrainingPrep ($50) uses Articulate to build video lectures.

  8. BTW Michelle, as I know you're at ACEP... do you know if they will (or have) published their lectures in a video archive for us non-attendants to view?

  9. Hey David- I only attended ACEP on the pre-day and so am back now. In the past ACEP and Emedhome usually partnered so that many ACEP lectures were videotaped and posted at this site: http://www.acep-emedhome.com/

    Based on the website, it looks like they may be doing it again. $79/year subscription.

  10. Excellent... I'm checking it out. Let's see if they let in non ACEP members (don't think I can be a member, living outside the US?)

  11. David - I don't think you have to be an ACEP member. You get access to this as well if you have general emedhome.com subscription.
