about us
REBEL EM (Rational Evidence-Based Evaluation of Literature in Emergency Medicine) exists to help clinicians make better decisions at the bedside.
We believe good medicine isn’t “evidence-only.” EBM is the intersection of clinical judgment, scientific evidence, and patient values. Research should guide us, not dictate care—especially when the patient in front of you doesn’t match the average patient in a trial.
Founded in October 2013, REBEL EM was created to reduce the lag between new research and real-world practice. We use structured critical appraisal to highlight key results, strengths, limitations, and what the evidence actually means for emergency and critical care clinicians.
REBEL Cast is the audio version of the REBEL EM blog. Each episode starts with a real clinical scenario and a focused clinical question, then critically appraises the study—key results, strengths, limitations, and what it means at the bedside. We end every episode with clear, actionable take-home points.
REBEL Reviews takes on different topics, removes the fluff and consolidates the information into one high-yield chart or infographic. This will be a FREE resource and will cover a myriad of topics seen in emergency medicine and critical care. Ever see a critically ill patient, and can’t remember the dosing of something or just how to do it? Well, hopefully, this will be a useful tool as you work clinically. If there are topics you want to see here, drop a line tosrrezaie@gmail.com.
REBEL EM has primarily been a clinical blog focusing on critical appraisal of research, but now we are proud to introduce REBEL Prez, in an effort to improve presentations. Lectures may not be the ideal way to communicate information but, they continue to be ubiquitous. One of our good friends, Ross Fisher, states that every great talk has three core components: the story, the supportive media, and the delivery. All three components are equally important for impactful presentations. Therefore, it’s important to improve our skills to optimize presentations by focusing on these three components of presentation design: The Preparation, The Design, and The Delivery
REBEL Core is REBEL EM’s initiative focused on the fundamentals. FOAMed excels at discussing new literature and shortening knowledge translation—but relying on FOAMed alone can lead to “Swiss cheese knowledge”: strong in a few trending topics while missing key foundations across the full scope of emergency medicine. REBEL Core covers essential concepts across all areas of emergency care to help clinicians build a complete, durable clinical foundation.
Critical care isn’t a place—it’s the practice of supporting patients with life-threatening illness. REBEL Crit helps clinicians across the spectrum critically appraise new evidence and apply it at the bedside. We publish concise research reviews and practical deep-dives on complex topics. A REBEL Crit podcast is coming soon through REBEL Cast.
Knowledge translation (KT) is the process involved in moving research from the laboratory bench, research journals, and academic conferences to the hands of providers who can put it to practical use at the bedside or in the prehospital environment. REBEL EM has been dedicated to this initiative for several years and is now happy to present REBEL CME. The goal is to provide Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Education Hours (CEH) for a nominal fee to support the blog, on several of these activities.
