VAQs
FACEM
Fellowship VAQs
Reclaimed from the depths of the WayBack machine, are they still relevant for writing new SAQs, and how much has changed?
VIVA
FACEM
ED Primary Vivas
The oldest collection of this site, but fortunately the basic sciences don't change that fast. Or do they?
Things I'm learning
Signals, signs and SVGs
PhysioNet provides free access to large collections of physiological and clinical data, supported by open-source software. The Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) shown here was created from raw signals in the PTB-XL database. Converting a signal into an image is simple, but reconstructing a high-quality signal from an image is far more challenging. Most publicly available signal databases can't match the breadth and complexity of ECGs preserved as images in the FOAM community.
