Update from the Education Workgroup

After many months of hard work, the Education workgroup is thrilled to have launched the Announce Podcast on August 1st. Announce is a podcast about social emergency medicine. Recognizing that illness and injury arise from the ecosystem, we discuss the social factors (race, addiction, nutrition, immigration, homelessness, etc) that influence the health of our patients.  The podcast aims to give an overview of specific topics and highlight innovative solutions to common challenges in the emergency department. The podcast is broadly geared toward all practitioners, regardless of training level or role in healthcare.

The first episode focuses on Immigration. Subsequent episodes will be released on the first of each month, with Firearm Violence as the topic for episode 2.
