EM:RAP Physician-founded and physician-run for over 20 years.
65,000 subscribers cannot be wrong! At EM:RAP, we believe what you do matters.

Emergency Medicine Reviews and Perspectives (EM:RAP) was founded in September of 2001 with a simple mission: provide the best medical education to emergency medicine practitioners everywhere. For more than twenty years, EM:RAP has passionately pursued this goal. In doing so, we have become the most listened to audio program in emergency medicine, with more listeners than the total number of emergency physicians in the United States. Today, EM:RAP continues to expand its mission through emergency medicine and beyond with a culture of continuous innovation. We’ve developed educational products that have re-defined standards for medical education, and we continue to challenge ourselves by developing new technologies, employing expertise from fields beyond medicine, and re-imagining what makes learning powerful. EM:RAP’s commitment to medical education also extends beyond national borders. To date, clinicians from over 160 countries have relied on EM:RAP for cutting-edge, mission critical education. Our products have made a difference in patients’ lives amidst public health crises, active warzones, and resource limited settings. While access to expert emergency medical care is expected in high resource nations, in many lower resource communities emergency medicine is still in its infancy. Through our nonprofit, EM:RAP Global Outreach, we are connecting a global community of scholarship that provides outreach and education where high-quality emergency care is needed most. We are a team of doctors, educators, designers, videographers, audio engineers, and artists, dedicated to improving healthcare by transforming medical education. More importantly, we are people who believe everyone deserves access to the highest level of medical care. We believe that great education makes great clinicians, and great clinicians take great care of patients.

Status epilepticus isn’t static—it evolves at the receptor level. 🧠
As seizures persist, GABA receptors downregulate while NMDA receptors upregulate, shifting the therapeutic target.
🎧 In this clip, Dr. Al Sacchetti explains why ketamine’s NMDA antagonism makes it a rational agent in refractory Status Epilepticus. ⚡

In the full episode, we explore dosing, timing, and clinical integration into modern seizure protocols. 💉

Mechanism meets bedside practice.

Febrile arthritis isn’t always septic arthritis.
In this clip, Vanessa and Dr. Lily Muldoon discuss a high-impact case of acute rheumatic fever presenting as arthritis—and the clues that changed management: synovial WBC interpretation, ECG PR prolongation, and local epidemiology. This is just a small part of the larger segment.

🎧 In the full discussion, we break down:
• Modified Jones criteria in real-world practice
• ARF without classic pharyngitis symptoms
• When to send strep testing in high-risk populations
• Why delayed diagnosis leads to rheumatic heart disease

A reminder that context matters—especially in rural and resource-limited settings. 🏥

Eyelid lacs can look intimidating, but a systematic approach makes them manageable. Do a full eye exam first—if there’s lid margin, fat prolapse, muscle, canalicular, or globe involvement, hit pause and call ophthalmology. If not, many can be safely repaired in the ED with careful technique.
