SGEMers have become familiar with Paediatric Emergency Medicine Super Hero Dr. Anthony Crocco. He has been on the SGEM many times discussing the best paediatric emergency care. Anthony is also well know for his YouTube videos. There are now three RANThonys: Fever Phobia, Cough Medication and Pain Control.

Anthony launched his own evidence based medicine website earlier this year called SketchyEBM. This blog is another summer SGEM Xtra that will highlight this great new #FOAMed resource.

The first episode on Season#4 will be another Hot off the Press paper just published in Academic Emergency Medicine. Anthony will be moderating this episode of SGEM HOP instead of Chris Carpenter because we are reviewing a paediatric trauma paper.

An exciting component of the SGEM HOP is that the best social media feedback gets published in a future AEM paper. Help us show how social media can shorten the KT window and engage an audience.

SketchyEBM tag line “Always draw your own conclusions”.

Remember to be skeptical of anything you learn, even if you heard it on the Skeptics’ Guide to Emergency Medicine.
