ALT ONLY 6 WEEKS UNTIL THE EM CASES INTERNATIONAL ONLINE SUMMIT! 📅 November 19–21, 2026 | Live Online We’re bringing together some of the brightest minds in Emergency Medicine from around the world for 3 days of practical, high-yield learning designed to reinvigorate your EM practice. 🎤 Scott Weingart, Reuben Strayer, Anand Swaminathan, Sara Gray, Justin Morgenstern, Katie Lin, Jesse McLaren, David Carr, Rob Orman, Arun Sayal, Isaac Bogoch and many more. And we’re tackling the stuff that matters on your next shift: 🔥 Preoxygenation & peri-intubation optimization ❤️ ACS, posterior OMI & wide complex tachycardia 🫁 ED thoracotomy ☠️ The crashing tox patient 🩸 Acidosis & DKA 🩻 PoCUS 👶 Pediatric surgical airway 👁️ Visual disturbances 🧠 Pediatric ataxia & cauda equina 💊 ED analgesia …and much more. But the Summit is about more than talks. 🚑 VIRTUAL RESUS ROOM Small-team simulated resuscitations followed by expert debriefing. Only 20 spots per session. 💬 4 INTERACTIVE SYMPOSIUMS 🤖 AI

ALT Four interactive morning symposiums at the EM Cases Summit exploring some of the biggest challenges and opportunities in Emergency Medicine: AI in Emergency Medicine, Rural EM, Global EM and ED Flow. Join expert panels for practical, engaging discussions designed to generate ideas you can bring back to your ED. Space is limited to 95 participants per symposium.

ALT Imaging decisions are part of the daily work of Emergency Medicine—but when to image, when to wait, and what to do when the ideal test isn’t available are often more nuanced than they appear. How should cumulative radiation risk influence another CT? Can suspected appendicitis wait until morning for ultrasound? Can TBI biomarkers GFAP and UCH-L1 help safely avoid CT, particularly in rural and remote settings? And in suspected cauda equina syndrome, can CT lumbar spine help risk-stratify patients when MRI isn’t available? In this episode, Anton is joined by Dr. Amit Shah, academic, community and rural Emergency Physician and Associate Professor at Western University, to examine the evidence behind these everyday imaging dilemmas and help us choose the right test, for the right patient, at the right time.

ALT Why do so many patients end up in the ED when Emergency Medicine may not be the best place for their care? Are low-acuity patients really driving ED overcrowding? Does better access to Primary Care reduce ED visits? What can we learn from the Dutch approach to after-hours care and triage? When does virtual care help—and when might it increase ED utilization? And how can we improve communication between ED and Primary Care clinicians? In this special EM Cases episode, Dr. Danielle Martin and Dr. Tara Kiran challenge common myths and explore team-based Primary Care, regional triage, funding models, virtual care, warm handoffs and more. We finish with 6 practical strategies for better EM–Primary Care integration and getting patients the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
