I am sure everyone is very busy with studying for exams, but I wanted to ask that everyone start thinking about what they would like to get out of this group.  Unfortunately, I have not heard any suggestions so far.  There are also I few things I would like to throw your way.

 

(1) How many people would be interested in doing the ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) course after finals?

 

(2) If anyone is interested in stopping into the Ichilov ER tomorrow night, I believe I will be there.  You can reach me at 054.497.7317 if you decide to stop by.

 

(3) One idea  is that we start some sort of emergency medicine journal club/case discussion or some other kind of regular meeting.  Journal club/cases for instance can be one email sent out each week or once a month get together, etc. Would anyone be interested in this?  We can even use the “Poll” section in the yahoo group to place interesting cases or what not.

 

(4) Some interesting articles I have read:

So, email me any ideas you have.
