Welcome to week five of our journey through intern preparation.

  • Had enough EKGs? No? Check out theis EM Tweetorial on rapid rhythms by @GamerEMDoc
  • While this Tweetorial by a neurologist (@Oga_DoctorBlue) is aimed at medical students it has some important reminders for a person who will soon be an intern. In the same vein, @GamerEMDoc makes a second appearance with his EM focused thread that has good points for FM residents, too, especially if you’ll be on EM early in the year.
  • A 3-tweet reminder about the importance of clinical skills (EM again, @jmugele)
