If you are a trainee or trainer in the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) then you should be familiar with the curriculum. This was last updated in 2010 and covers the breadth of the speciality. Here at St.Emlyn’s we believe that #FOAMed resources can make you a better doctor AND help you get through the exams. We have linked our posts to the curriculum in three ways.
1. You can see which St.Emlyn’s topics cover the curriculum by topic by clicking on the hyperlinks below.
2. At the end of each post you will be able to see a ‘tag’ with a code that looks something like CAP7. These codes link to the curriculum and if you click on the tag it will take you to related pages.
3. You can look at our original attempt at curriculum mapping using a table of posts. However, the table system requires manual maintenance and is currently not up to date.
The curriculum is separated into the following sections. Click on a link to take you to that section or scroll down to see them all. Remember that some topics (e.g. headache, chest pain) appear in multiple sections so to be sure use Ctrl+F to search for a keyword or use our search box on the right to find the right post for you.
If you get a ‘Not Found, Error 404’ message it means that we have not linked anything to that category (yet 🙂 ).
