TOTAL EM is an educational website. It stands for "Tools
Of the Trade and Academic Learning in Emergency Medicine."
The main focus is to provide training to all of those in
emergency medicine, especially those practicing in a rural or
remote setting and those who are PAs (but we also love our NP and
physician colleagues).
They believe in the importance of education. Their website is
divided into three main sections. One is devoted to medical
professionals and the information offered directly by the TOTAL EM
project. A second section is devoted to layperson education
in emergency medicine which covers mostly basic topics. The
final section is an access to multiple projects that we support and
use frequently.
TOTAL EM is a project devoted to increasing emergency medicine
knowledge both to providers and the public. As demonstrated
with previous studies, it can take too long for information to
reach the bedside. The Leaky Pipe model has been
suggested as reasons why this happens.
They want to do our part to help shorten the period of time it
takes for important medical knowledge in emergency medicine to
reach the provider and the patient. They also want to help
educate people across the world in how emergency medicine is an
important and lifesaving profession.
Total EM's goal is to provide regularly updated
information through the method of FOAMED or Free and Open Access to
Medical EDucation. The plan is to do this with blogs and
podcasts. With your help, we plan to accomplish just that.

The Death Investigation Training Academy was founded to play an integral role in the death investigation community. The need for quality accredited training is in short supply and high demand. Using a combination of classroom training, live on site scenario exercises, and web-based training, the Death Investigation Training Academy is filling the need of 21st-century investigators.
