We know you all get really tired of “evidence” and “science”, so here is our unsolicited opinion about the future of medical education.

The Future of Medical Education…..and Some Lung Ultrasound! #FOAMED
Here’s the thing, we think we can all do better when it comes to medical education. We’ve sat through too many bad powerpoint presentations and watched too many professors bore audiences to sleep while teaching topics that could actually be life saving and super important! And why exactly is the vast majority of our medical [...]

Ultrasound of Radius Fracture! What? That’s right. Diagnose it and guide your reduction with US! #foamed
You know we haven’t had an MSK episode in a while, which is a shame really. MSK ultrasound is really cool and we think grossly underutilized. And of course when we talk about bone ultrasound we go straight to The Bone Boss, himself, Mark Goodman MD. Mark is fellowship trained in both sports medicine and [...]

Paracentesis – Not difficult, but like most things….better with ultrasound! #Foamed
Yeah, we know, you can do a paracentesis. We’re not talking about a pericardiocentesis here. The belly’s big, you’re not scared, so why not just do it? Well, it turns out that your patients have less complications when you go ahead and take a look. So don’t be “that guy” or “that girl”. Don’t take [...]

Ultrasound Guided Pericardiocentesis Microcast! #foamed Education Mainlined…..
OK, no funny, no cuteness, nothing. Just straight echo guided procedural education. We like to have fun and keep it light because we think that enhances your education and keeps you interested.

Should I do an ultrasound fellowship and what’s the deal with all this IVC talk? #foamed
Wait! Before you download this you should understand a few things. 1. I hope you’re all enjoying SMACC! 2. This is audio only. There is no video in this one because it’s purely an interview. 3.

iBook Gift to you…from us. Inspired by @squartadoc #FOAMED
Recently we saw this tweet: So this inspired us. We realize that it’s a big problem that Introduction to Bedside Ultrasound is only available on the iPad. We feel genuinely bad about this and are really going to work to get it available in other formats but we’re A LONG way from having it in [...]
Lung Ultrasound with Mike Stone Part 2. The wait is over! #FOAMED

Lung Ultrasound Part 1- YOU should be doing this! Your patients deserve it. #FOAMED
Last week Stone dropped some super hot innovation on you with the WIN episode. This week, we’re going old school and talking lung ultrasound. OK, so maybe lung ultrasound isn’t old school. You may have never ultrasounded the lungs before other than pneumothorax, but that’s not due to lack of evidence. If you’ve been following us [...]

Wire in Needle: A WIN for needle visualization! #FOAMed
After those last 3 microcasts I’m sure you’re all sticking needles in vessels under ultrasound guidance like crazy! As you should.
