Congratulations to the winners of the first ever 2016 ALiEM Awards! We had great submissions and the decision making process was tough, but ultimately we felt that these winners represent the true spirit of medical education and digital innovation!

Most of all, congratulations to all the submissions, we are proud of all you do for the medical education community!

Most Innovative Blog or Podcast

Winner – a tie! We could not decide between emDocs.net and Feminem.org and chose them both.

About: Both blogs push the boundary of dynamic content – emDocs especially with their series EM Mindset and Feminem’s emphasis on highlighting issues related to women practitioners in the emergency department. Both blogs provide content that is valuable for the medical education and emergency medicine online community.
