Weekly emergency medicine (EM) residency conferences are not exempt from the #CancelEverything movement as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Residency program leaders are in uncharted water, quickly pivoting to find alternative solutions to live, in-person conference sessions. We at ALiEM emphathize with these hardships and want to help. We announce ALiEM Connect, a live educational telecast with a concurrent moderated backchannel discussion on HIPAA-compliant Slack. We want to help.
When
- Wed, March 25, 2020 at 8 am-10 am PST (11 am-1 pm EST)
Where
- The livestream and all the details are at https://ALiEMU.com/ALiEM-Connect.
Can I join if I am not an EM resident?
- Although this event targets primarily EM residents, anyone can view the livestream event for free. Slack account access will granted only to EM residency programs who RSVP at info@ALiEM.com.
When is the next ALiEM Connect event?
- Currently this is a one-time event given the costs and large team effort needed. We plan to assess whether the ALiEM Connect event was valuable, worthwhile, and cost-effective afterwards. Stay tuned!
Exclusive Sponsor
