Congrats! No coincidence that baby goats are "kids"!

Today we highlight the essential work of Emergency Medicine professionals and advocate for stronger recognition of the specialty worldwide. Thank you for your dedication to saving lives. #emergencymedicineday #icem2025

Using serious games in #MedEd: ✅Purpose driven ✅Active learning ✅Built-in feedback Not just fun and games - proven learning tools. Allow trainees to make mistakes safely, practice critical thinking, and build confidence. Time to level up! #ICEM2025

Frosso Adamakos highlighting best practices in delivering a good lecture ✅3 learning objections ✅Choose clean fonts ✅Contrasting colours ✅High quality photos ✅Integrate stories ✅QR codes for papers ✅Caution with animations/GIFs ✅3 main takeaways #ICEM2025

Training EM residents in critical airway skills: ✅Break down micro skills ✅Flipped classroom model ✅Practice BEFORE teaching sessions ✅Case-based learning ✅Rapid cycle deliberate practice with coaching using sim ✅ Stepwise increases in complexity #ICEM2025

Intubation in ED vs OR: same technical skills, completely different worlds. Chaos, unpredictability, and high emotions change everything about EM airway management decisions. We need to rethink how we're training EM residents for these real-world critical situations. #ICEM2025

Lessons learned in the integration of sex/gender into #MedEd ✅Educate yourself ✅Critically appraise approach to patient diagnosis ✅Checklists for education materials ✅Checklists for bedside teaching ✅Edit your content & reassess #ICEM2025

<40% of EM research integrates sex/gender into data analysis - critical gap in #MedEd & practice. Labs, disease risk, & drug dosing vary by sex/gender - but we're not consistently accounting for differences. ✅Time to close the gap! #ICEM2025

“Emergency medicine isn’t failing because we stopped caring — it’s failing because we’re being asked to care in broken systems.” – Dr. @PaulAtkinsonEM Compassion isn’t a luxury — it’s a clinical skill. Read more from his #ICEM2025 plenary: https://t.co/jcv7X6YGt5

📚 Facts fade, but stories stick. Teaching through patient narratives, our learners don't just memorize symptoms—they experience the human side of medicine. Mary’s journey with cerebral malaria will outlast any textbook definition. Stories create memories. #ICEM2025 #MedEd

Most powerful lessons for med trainees? It’s okay to be fallible. Showing vulnerability as educators—admitting mistakes, saying “I don’t know”—we give learners permission to be human. Growth mindset > superhero complex Excellence comes from curiosity, not perfection. #ICEM2025

Creating psychological safety in EM education isn't just nice-to-have—it's essential for learning. When learners feel safe to ask questions, admit uncertainty, or discuss near-misses, we build better clinicians. Fear of judgment kills curiosity. Curiosity saves lives. #ICEM2025

AI transforming #MedEd - virtual patients, personalized learning, instant dx feedback. We could train better doctors—but must navigate data privacy, algorithmic bias, and ensure human judgment remains central. Balance innovation with responsibility. #ICEM2025

Ed Scholars @CAEP_Docs - “Teaching in the Trenches: Navigating Access Block” ✅develop micro skills, impart key pearls ✅”just-in-time” teaching for procedures ✅teach flow - how can we move 5 more patients in ✅review/triage the WR ✅ Reconstruct cases (what if?) #ICEM2025

Many challenges in educating our educators - most junior training rotations taught by faculty OUTSIDE of emergency medicine. Knowledge is channeled through staff - need a global effort to develop and mentor ALL faculty to become better teachers. #ICEM2025 #MedEd

We have a stellar lineup this morning at the #MedEd track - room 511CF @ 1110am! Elif Cakal - Optimizing the clinical environment @CAEP_Docs Ed Scholars - Teaches in the trenches, navigating access block Ryan Ernst -Teaching how to Teach Be sure to join us! #icem2025

Hey @ICEM2025 #MedEd - We have exciting Education sessions Tuesday May 27 in 511CF with amazing presentations / workshops: 11:10 - teaching, learning environment 13:45 - AI, psychological safety, storytelling 15:40 - airway, sex & gender, lectures, games #ICEM2025 @TamaraMcColl

Strong emergency med training happens when supervisors & trainees work as true partners in learning. Building education alliances means creating psychological safety, shared goals, and mutual respect. When we coach with curiosity instead of judgment, everyone grows. #ICEM2025

Lessons learned in #CBME from around the globe - movement to a coaching rather than assessment mindset, flexibility in the work environment (many 🇦🇺 emergency trainees work part time), enhance faculty training, enhance standardization! #icem2025

The Baobab Tree as a metaphor for the emergency physician. Deep roots, anchored firmly, branches reaching to the sky - we are leaders, communicators, critical thinkers, lifelong learners and teachers. #CBME #icem2025
