The companion app for Canadian junior learners navigating the ED

Welcome to the CanadiEM Junior Learner Primer, the companion app for junior learners navigating the Emergency Department! This app is intended to introduce, supplement and/or refresh knowledge of ED case management. It facilitates a self-directed review of common and critical ED cases, topics, differential diagnoses, online decision aids, online video modules, podcasts and readings.

HIGH YIELD CONTENT

We have written quick summary guides of cardinal presentations with links to free open access medical education (FOAM) resources to help you learn about emergency medicine. As a junior learner, you will probably spend the bulk of your time with the patients in the "Fast Track" (low acuity) areas, but we have made sure to cover a variety of topics to help scaffold your success as you enter the ED.

SYSTEMATIC APPROACHES

The CanadiEM Junior Learner Primer is an effort to support junior learners (medical students and residents) interested in and rotating through Emergency Medicine. There are approaches to many high yield presentations, memory aids to increase retention and integration, infographics to accommodate different learning styles and highlight key information, and junior learner tips to help you shine and do your best!
