I’m in a very rural setting (our federal designation is actually”frontier medical center”) in a federally designated underserved clinic and critical access hospital. Our next closest hospital is 95 miles away with the closest pediatric ICU over 150. We have no specialists or surgical capabilities. This podcast is invaluable in keeping me up to date (no pun intended) with the latest medical research and treatments for pediatrics and helps with my overall pediatric AND adult medical knowledge. My drive to work is about 15 minutes so it’s perfect for my morning commute. Thank you so much for this amazing tool!

My wife and I both keep up with this podcast as we both see children in the pre-hospital and ER spaces. It’s absolutely essential for reviewing key concepts as well as getting the latest tips and tricks. Tim is a really phenomenal educator.

Started listening to this podcast several years ago during residency and have continued even since becoming a primary care attending! Although it’s titled “Emergency Playbook,” I’ve consistently found it to contain primary care-relevant information in addition to inpatient/ER pearls. Tim does an outstanding job of covering fundamentals as well as more nuanced topics - what I especially appreciate is his willingness to cite the literature along the way. As a resident, I found that this was one of the podcasts that regularly and reliably filled in the gaps of my residency’s program’s curriculum, or things that we were just expected to know without ever being taught. A pleasant bonus of the podcasts’ content is the continual emphasis on humanistic care and tangible strategies for how to provide it. Wish I had found this in med school itself, but either way, can’t wait for all the amazing content to come!

i’m just a silly little high school student who wants to go into ems in the future. while some of this content isn’t necessarily applicable in ems (long term treatments n stuff) the tips for caring for children in the emergency medical field is very helpful. i like the scenarios that pose options to the listener, it is a good way to learn the content. also coach’s (i always forget his name 🥲🥲) voice is so soothing that i use this podcast to fall asleep at night. overall this podcast is a 11/10 and i enjoy it very much :))

Dr Horeczko goes through common peds EM scenarios and presents best available practice guidelines for practicing clinicians to use on a daily basis. I look forward for to his podcasts!

Tremendously helpful supplement to my PNP classes.

As a Peds ED RN I have learned so much from this. Have saved a child from serious harm by remembering something from this podcast and pointing it out to my attending. Keep it up Tim!!

Love the way he presents the material! So easy to listen to!

Very clear explanations. The Dr make the complex in an easier understanding.

Outstanding ! Applicable!

Great content! Cases are interesting and entertaining!

Great podcast. As a pem attending I enjoy listening to the cases and management. The topics are very relevant. I recommend it to my residents and fellows.

Increíble podcast!! I learn a ton and it is fun and engaging and inspiring to boot!! Thank you so much!!

As a community pediatric hospitalist, this podcast has been so valuable to me especially as a “refresher “ for diagnoses and procedures we don’t see that often. Tim’s approach is fun, extremely practical, and interesting. Best CME I’ve had in a long time!

Very helpful, thorough, and accessible. There is a lot packed into each episode. Highly recommended!

Thank you for providing us listeners with a podcase that is so a well put together. For non-peds healthcare providers, this is such valuable information.

So Good! Can’t believe it is free. Listen to pedsrap (which requires subscription) but think this is as good or better - because more practical. I personally enjoy the philosophical introspective moments as well! Keep up the great work Dr. H!

I listen to a lot of podcasts. This is one of my favorites. He is entertaining as well as brilliant. These are mandatory for anyone taking care of sick kids. His delivery and format create maximum retention...

I won’t lie- I’m your typical cranky, older, jaded nurse who is super unimpressed with doctors. Nursing podcasts don’t cut it for me though, because what we need is the HOW and the WHY to help me do better. This podcast breaks down all of the factors I need to get better at what I do and apply what I’ve learned. (And the approval of the snarky nurse is not an easy thing to get!)

This podcast has helped me better evaluate patients in the ED with creating broad differentials. It has helped me to decide when to admit children to the hospital vs. going home and also better understand why we do some of the things we do. I have told anyone who will give me an ear about this podcast. Please keep them coming!! Also, love the way you present topics. The pace of the podcast makes it easier to remember some of the facts. I also noticed the research you talk about has now been attached in the title. Love it. Thank you thank you

I am an RN with a new job in critical care transport of Neo/Peds. My background is mostly NICU. I am learning so much from your podcasts! Thank you for this information!

Would give 6 stars if I could. Not only is the content extremely high yield, the presenter is surprisingly entertaining. He is exactly the type of Doctor I would want seeing my child. Perfect for anybody in the medical profession from attendings to students to nurses to technicians.

Tim’s podcast had it all: educational, entertaining and inspirational. He is truly a brilliant voice among pediatric EM. His passion, humbleness, and gentle voice would inspire both current and future generations. Each podcast is a masterpiece of clinical pearls and worldclass audio production. He is a champion educator.

Tim Horeczko is an incredible clinician and teacher who is somehow able to give the exact right amount of information without skipping important subjects but also without excessive detail. After listening to these podcasts I feel more confident with pediatric patients, ready for whatever might come through the doors, and much more informed about some of the diseases that we don’t often think about. His mnemonics are surprisingly helpful, too. This podcast is worth every minute spent listening. I’m surprised it’s free!

My best pediatric EM education during residency.

One of the best newer medical podcasts out there. Each podcast is informative, entertaining, and thought provoking. His style is one that is unique but perfect. He truly embodies the pediatric emergency physician.

This is a great podcast for many different levels of training. A lot of it goes over my head still, but hearing the complex issues in subspecialty med broken down so clearly is a fantastic way to integrate newly-learned concepts. On several occasions this podcast has helped me stand out in EM and peds clinical rotations.

This is one of the best PEM podcasts out there. Before any of my PEM shifts I listen to this podcast and immediately feel more confident walking into the shift. Tim is a great teacher and does a great job of explaining high yield concepts.

This is the top podcast for care of children in the emergency department. Must have on your iTunes list. Dr. Horeczko breakdown difficult topics into easily digestible and fun to listen to podcasts. I find myself listening to them on my way to my shifts- especially the multi-system trauma podcasts. This podcast is user friendly for med students, residents and even fellowship trained peds ED docs. Take a listen and enjoy.

Can't say enough good things about PEM! I don't miss an episode! Thanks Dr. Tim for your commitment to the pediatric world.

Please keep it going. As a soon to graduate ED resident, I hope podcasts like this last throughout my career to keep me updated and giving great care to sick children long after my PEM rotations have ended.

This is my new favorite podcast. Efficiently delivered, accurate, just the right amount of physiology, pharmacology with real life pearls mixed in. Looking forward to more episodes.

I can not say enough positive things about the podcast. If I were able to give 6 stars I would. I am a Physician Assistant student and love how these add to my knowledge. I am amazed how well the material presented sticks. I believe this is a result of how the material is presented. I enjoy following his thought process and his self challenging. I play along. I try to guess were he is going and if I can get there. The criteria presented is stated in a useful way, and supported with evidence based medicine.

Must listen podcast for trainees in Pediatrics or Emergency Medicine with content delivered in a thorough and thoughtful fashion. Has informed my thinking in the ER, the clinic and the ward.

Great podcast Tim!! I have enjoyed every episode so far. Very informative and easy to listen to

This is a very well produced podcast about the emergency care of infants and children!

Really like the play by play! Keeps the brain moving, please keep doing what your doing!

One of the great Peds EM & EM educators in the FOAMed community. Brings a phenomenal podcast with pearls of wisdom. A definite must listen for all EM / PEM / Peds physicians & residents.

Dr. Horeczko has a servant’s heart and a passion to bring awareness and understanding to the medical community, and to the families involved. If you’re in the field or connected to PEM in some way, listen to what this man has to say. Joel and Dr Pei Husband and wife hosts of ReLaunch

Phenomenal podcast! A must listen to for any ER doc or peds doc/resident
