What your residents get

  • A web browser custom-built for Emergency Medicine. One search across WikEM, EM:RAP, MDCalc, UpToDate, DynaMed, LITFL, Orthobullets, EyeWiki and more, at the same time.
  • Their own Tintinalli's textbook, uploaded once and fully searchable.
  • Their own notes, imported from Anki or any CSV, searched alongside everything else.
  • 1600+ flashcards mapped to ABEM board exam and ITE preparation categories.
  • Procedure videos surfaced next to the relevant search.
  • Post-shift podcast and chapter recommendations based on what they actually looked up.
  • Progress tracking, so they are not working through four podcasts on the same topic.

What happens to a resident's notes when they graduate?

Does it work offline in the emergency department?

Yes, the notes, images, and textbook search work offline in the emergency department and are often sufficient alone to answer your question. To access websites you will need internet access.
