In rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the cancellation of weekly conferences for U.S. Emergency Medicine (EM) residencies, our team launched a new initiative called ALiEM Connect. This FREE, live, educational telecast, however, is not just a one-way webinar of premiere speakers. We also incorporate a monitored and curated backchannel discussion on the Slack platform, where participants can answer each others’ questions and popular questions are addressed by the live speaker.
Watch the full All-EM residency graduation celebration on the YouTube platform to see the videostream as well as the real-time comments from celebrities behind the scenes and those watching the event from home.
- ALiEM Connect 1 (March 20, 2020)
- ALiEM Connect 2 (April 23, 2020)
- ALiEM Connect 3: Level Up – An All EM Residency Graduation Celebration (June 15, 2020)
