SMACC is not just about #FOAM, it’s also about #FOAMaoke. #FOAMaoke was invented by Natalie May as a way of releasing all that medical education energy that bubbles up from the best conference in the world.
Nobody has yet owned up to singing this (Ed – if you can describe it as singing), but if we find out we’ll let you know. Words are at the end of this post if you want to join us for some SMACCtastic FOAMaoke in Australia.
Flashmob anyone for a choral rendition…..we know a good pianist 😉

‘Imagine #FOAMed’
Imagine there’s no text books
It’s easy if you try
No outdated dogma
On dusty shelves piled high
*
Imagine all med students
Learning for today
*
Imagine there’s no journals
It isn’t hard to do
No peer reviewers
And open access too
*
Imagine all researchers
Publishing as FOAM
*
You
*
You may say that we’re dreamers
But we’re not the only ones
We hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will live for FOAM
*
Imagine no professions
I wonder if you can
No paid subscriptions
To the Royal College of Man
*
Imagine all clinicians
Sharing all they learn
*
You
*
You may say that we’re dreamers (We’re not really)
But we’re not the only ones (There’s quite a lot of us)
We hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will live for FOAM

Count me in! SMACC, FOAM, karaoke and flashmob?? Too good to be true!
