FOAMed has changed emergency medicine by accelerating knowledge translation. But there’s a downside: when learning is driven mostly by what’s new—or what’s popular—you can develop uneven foundational knowledge.
That’s why we created REBEL Core. While REBEL EM will continue to critically appraise new research, REBEL Core is dedicated to the core concepts that support great bedside care across the entire spectrum of emergency medicine and critical care—not just the headline areas like ECGs, ultrasound, resuscitation, and procedures.
Our goal is to help you build a strong, complete foundation—so you can apply both classic principles and new evidence with confidence.
