WikEM:Journal Club (Main)
Background
- Welcome to the WikEM Journal Club! In the spirit of FOAMed, anyone worldwide can contribute. Our goal is to build a repository of must-read EM-related articles for residents and practicing physicians. All Evidence Based Reviews will also be available offline on the WikEM Mobile App.
Articles
Article Types
- The WikEM Evidence Based Question (EBQ) Section has two distinct types of article templates:
- One for summary of an important study (e.g. EBQ:TTM Trial)
- One for a summary of the literature (i.e multiple studies) relating to an important clinical topic (e.g. EBQ:Use of Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (Kayexylate) in Hyperkalemia)
