Instructors' meeting

The instructors got together tonight thanks to the advantages of social networking tools and had a very productive planning meeting for the course this weekend. In discussions, I realised that the internet, and more especially, social media can be a very useful tool in the development of the field of Wilderness Emergency Medicine. It certainly has a role to play in marketing and now in interpersonal interactions at the academic level. I have been witness to the development of the FOAMed philosophy of education in emergency medicine and critical care, and am eager to try the same for wilderness emergency medicine as well. Therefore, I will be exploring ways in which social media can be used to advance the field of WEM.
