Description

We cover a JAMA Clinical Reviews podcast on lyme disease, including some myth-busters. *Doxycycline can be used, safely, in kids < 8 years old *Testing for lyme is a mess because : (1) we test patients with ultra low probability of disease (2) we test patients who shouldn't be tested (i.e. have erythema migrans) (3) the tests are a pain to interpret *Lyme disease is spreading further south and west in the US, into Canada, and it's also increasingly found in Europe. We then delve into core content for Rosen's, Tintinalli, and the IDSA 2006 guidelines. Thanks for listening! Jeremy Faust and Lauren Westafer FOAMcast.org

We review a cutting edge a Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) blog or podcast and then delve into the Emergency Medicine Core Content texts on relevant issues and end with free board review questions. We believe in the educational merits of Free Open Access Medical education (FOAM), which includes podcasts, blogs, articles on PubMed Central, conferences streamed for free and more. As a result, we would like to encourage others to move beyond quoting podcasts and into the realm of tying “cutting edge” FOAM to the core content. Why, indeed, should we FOAM it alone when FOAM can inspire us to go, read, think, and be excellent? Thanks for listening, Jeremy Faust and Lauren Westafer
