What’s so good about DevelopingEM? An attendee’s perspective.

It’s certainly not the shiniest. No airway toys, no free pens, not even a latte (don’t worry, there is always coffee!). No cabaret-esque introduction, dancing girls or ‘90’s rave approach to lighting. There’s never to my knowledge been an ICU consultant dressed up as a uterus at DEM either, a la the wonderful SMACC 2013…! For me, its 3 things that make DEM great – the ethics, the true innovation and the heart.

Developing EM Resuscitationalists in Training Articles! Part 1- Hugo Gemal

Having been born in Brazil, raised in England and now practicing in Australia, Developing EM understandably caught my attention.
