Growth & Impact

Foundations of Emergency Medicine: A Bright Future

The Foundations curriculum has expanded from the original intern-focused Foundations I course to include higher level residents in advanced Foundations II and III courses.  Our original ECG Fundamentals course has also expanded to ECG I and ECG II courses.  FoEM content is now the result of contributions from multi-institutional faculty and will continue to grow and improve yearly based on feedback and collaboration with other educational innovators.  As of January 2023, FoEM is used by over 230 registered educational programs, serving 75% of EM residency programs and over 12,000 learners, with growing use at international sites (14) and for new learner types (medical student, advanced practice provider programs).  Below you’ll find a trajectory of our curricular growth and impact.
