Summarizes the main points multiple times in each podcast and really drills in the important “DO NOT MISS” information. Highly recommend!

As an newly graduated MD working in the ER, this highly useful, especially because it summarizes from common emergency textbooks, so everything is familiar and its great for review

This is a great podcast for anyone in EMS/ED having over 20 years experience in ED/trauma/EMS/flight/critical care this is a wonderful resource. Highly recommend.

This podcast is great for anyone doing patient care in the ED. I’m an ED tech and of course I’ll always be working within my scope but this info and the knowledge gained can really help you be a cut above the rest when it comes to anticipating the needs of your patients, nurses, docs and the rest of the support staff. Lord only knows some of the stress taken off of your docs when you have the equipment they need before they even have to ask for it. If you’re planning on going further in your healthcare career it’s a no brainer to listen to this podcast. Thanks for all the info and keep ‘em coming!

I’m an EMT studying for paramedic, and this podcast has helped me have a more comprehensive grasp on the patient’s journey.

New listener. Im a PA student entering clinical rotations. I have ED for my first rotation and found this podcast while looking for resources to help me prepare. Podcast is fantastic and exactly what I was looking for. Not heavy on the pathophysiology (which is perfect) but a quick review on the clinical and practical approach to patients who present to the ED with this or that chief complaint. I feel much more confident going into my rotation having started this podcast.

Such a great podcast for interns! Thank you!

Thank you for doing this pod cast. Informative and loving and appreciating the sarcastic, real life scenario thoughts and comments! So glad I found you!

OH EM GEEE! I am so happy to have tripped upon this audio of jewels. How lucky am I! Thanks Steven for sharing your knowledge in an ez to learn, no fluff format. LOVE IT!

I really enjoy this podcast! I’m an ER PA-C this podcast has really helped me fill in some gaps in my knowledge base.

Explained easily and thoroughly! Thanks for this great podcast.

This podcast was super useful for my EM clerkship! Covered the high yield topics and frequently referenced the literature for further exploration.

EM PA here. Wish I knew of this during my program.

ICU nurse here, dropped by to get a quick review on DKA and the information was delivered in a very clear, concise, and easy to remember format.

This podcast was very helpful during my EM rotation. Thank you for putting this together!

Thank you so much for making this podcast! I listened to it religiously before my third year core EM rotation, my EM sub-internships, and now again before starting my intern year. Each time I took away something else from each episode as I learned more of the nuances of caring for patients which each of the presenting complaints. The show notes were also a great starting point to serve as a reminder for what history questions, exam maneuvers, and labs/imaging to consider when seeing patient as I was first starting out.

I really enjoy learning from podcasts. I can be productive while driving or working around the house or I can sit down and write notes while listening. This one is excellent. It is clear, organized, informative, and interesting! As a third year medical student it is helpful to hear practical advice and relevant management information. This is my favorite medical podcast!

I have been a critical care or emergency department nurse for 40 years. I wish this type of education had been around early in my career. However, learning never ends in this profession, and this site provides quality material. Steve Carroll presents the topics quite well, and reinforces teaching points to help drive the message home. I will certainly share this with friends and co-workers.

I’m an intern rotating through EM but ultimately going into something else. Love EM basic as it helps me think like a EM doc and is practical and useful for shifts without any fluff. I tried several EM podcasts and this is my favorite. Thanks!

I recommend EM Basic to all my new nurses in the ER to help them better understand procedures they may assist with and the rationale behind different orders they may see. Really clear, useful explanations!

I used this podcast during my emergency medicine rotation and found it really helpful for my exam. Now that I am starting to practice EM, it is even better. Dr Carroll provides a better level of relevent detail for approaching a complaint than my other review materials which were more focused on buzz words. His explanations are practical and easy to understand.

Thanks so much to Dr. Carroll for providing an excellent, straightfoward, succinct review of major topics. I listened to every single episode during my commute to my rural family medicine rotation (I'm a MS3). I felt it provided me with a framework for how to think through problems, great acroynms to make things easier to remember, and also a way to make sure as a medical student, I don't miss the big things. The show notes are also clear and concise. I have recommended this podcast to many fellow students.

Great podcast for medical students and residents. Up-to-date information with a solid focus on core material. One of my favorite Emergency Medicine podcasts.

Dr. Carroll is very thorough in his review of EM medicine. Each episode is packed with material, so plenty of paper and ink is suggested!

This podcast has been really great to listen to in the car on my 40 minute drive to my EM rotation!

Will you be doing any new ones or do you have a new podcast? I see the comments are from 2011. Thanks for your time Joe

Excellent podcast. Relevant, practice changing and well produced. EMBasic is my favorite EM podcast.

I am subscribed for a few different podcasts:EMCrit, ICU rounds, SMACC, ERCAST. However, EM Basic podcast is my favorite-- clear, precise, each topic is thoughly approached; with great details; Love Steve Carroll's tendency to repeat the main points. Great voice. The BEST!!!

Huge help! Thank you for doing these podcast!

I need more of these ASAP

Excellent for any medical student interested in EM, or any other specialty for that matter. Helps you learn to think like an emergency physician and how to approach patients with a broad differential in mind.

This is wonderfully done and perfect for me as an M4 applying for EM. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

Great podcast for anyone on an EM rotation who is considering the specialty, I have been saved on rounds before by things I heard on this podcast. Gives an awesome introduction for those of us just entering the world of EM.

For medical students interested in EM. This is a great resource for effortlessly acquiring useful knowledge

These podcasts are actually part of my EM clerkship requirements, and they’re great! Steve does a great job of simplifying concepts and getting down to the most important concepts and actionable items so that they’re easy to remember during patient encounters.

These podcasts are fantastic! It helps with my practice in EMS and gives me an idea on what the physicians are looking for. It's great to have pointers from a DO. Thanks!

I am a fourth year student going into anesthesiology. While I was rotating on emergency medicine, one of the interns recommended this podcast and I found it not only very helpful for that clerkship, but also, the icu month and other rotations that I have had since then. The topics are very clearly explained and summarized in a way that makes them readily applicable to students hoping to learn the high yield info for common cases that will be encountered in an emergency setting.

Bravo! Concise, user friendly language. Perfect review while working out. Thank You Steve Carroll!

You’re such a concise and systematic podcast speaker. Your flow is easy to follow even while I’m driving. Thank you for providing quick pathophysiology or mnemonics to help us better memorize every little thing. I LOVE the simplistic approach of no elevator background music or fancy intro. Just get right into it!Thank you so much Dr. Carroll!!

This podcast is well thought out and incredibly useful for all students thinking about entering the field of EM. The chief complaints based approach is both easy to follow and practical. Many of our 3rd and 4th years have said positive things about how much this podcast helped them in their away EM rotations!

I listen every morning on my way to the hospital and get a great review of the key points that cannot be missed during an encounter. What I've found is a marked improvement in my ability to do an effective H&P and more comprehensive DDx

Excellent information, format and content. Keep it going!

As a new grad RN working my first RN job in an ED, I have a lot to learn. Nursing school was not very effective at teaching how address illnesses and injuries in the ED. That's where EM Basic bridges the gap. Although EM Basic is more than what the average ED RN needs, all of the information is useful and I have been applying the content every single day I work. Dr. Carroll does a great job at presenting the information in a logical and concise manner and I seem to have very good recall from listening and taking notes. Thanks Dr. Carroll for putting together such a great resource!

I’m a PA student about to start my EM rotation and this podcast has been very helpful for reviewing the big ideas. Thanks and keep up the good work!

i was looking for a podcast related to medicine which I can listen to during my exercise and finally found one! easy to listen with priceless information :) thanks a lot!

Good review of high yield topics for interns and students, perfect for a short workout. Dr. Carroll goes through topics in detail which will help you be a thoughtful and thorough resident.

Good information. Well presented. Usefill content. Relevant. A top 5 medical podcast

I am obsessed with these podcasts! They are so thorough, keep them coming! Great study tools!

Great review of major ED subjects for both med students and interns.

This podcast is great for medical students. I am preparing for my EM clerkship (and a career in EM) and these rapid fire reviews are thorough yet succinct for my educational level. I also appreciate the show notes and link/papers for further education. Thanks so much for producing these!
