Looking back: the first FOAMed meeting in the U.S.

This photograph, from November 2010, documents what was to my knowledge the first #FOAMed get-together on U.S. soil. Gathered that evening at a tapas restaurant in San Francisco during the “Essentials of EM” conference were (from left to right): Anton Helman (Emergency Medicine Cases)  Chris Nickson (Life in the Fast Lane) Scott Weingart (EMCrit) Michelle Lin (Academic Life in Emergency Medicine) Leon Gussow (The Poison Review) It is truly amazing to realize that only four-and-a-half years later, 2000 foamheads from around the world are descending on Chicago for the 3-day festival of life and learning called smaccUS. A lot has happened in that short time, and I think it’s fair to say that the world of medical education has been revolutionized by social media. TPR is looking forward to meeting everyone coming into town this week. What a short, strange trip it’s been!
