This project arose in 2016 during my CCFP(EM) training year at University of Calgary. I wanted a quick reference focused on important emergency department presentations, particularly for rapid access to drug doses and therapeutic considerations. There are so many great apps available, but I prefer a physical reference tool - call me old fashioned!
I liked the old version of the Paucis Verbis cards from Aliem (now hosted online at AliemCards.com), but I found them more useful for studying than as a point-of-care reference.
I couldn't find anything quite right. So I created a tool that works for me!
I am a full-time emergency physician working in Calgary, Alberta. I love teaching, and my clinical interests include harm reduction for frequent users of emergency department services.
I've always learned best by creating. Prior to medical school, I worked as a Technical Writer and was responsible for developing print and digital educational materials for medical staff. This background has evolved into a unique niche interest in creating and refining clinical and medical educational tools. I have also been involved in curriculum development for the Calgary CCPF(EM) program, particularly practice oral exam development.
