Sessions

Our regional training program in EM consists of a cycle of 20 half-day sessions. For each training session, we aim to provide a document with links to a selection of articles, podcasts and other educational resources. The links are intended to loosely correspond to items in the Swedish Core Curriculum for Emergency Medicine and the European Core Curriculum for Emergency Medicine. Suggestions for additions are welcome; please e-mail love.lindauliljekvist@skane.se
