"This book is structured and organized to be an
easy-to-follow guide on becoming a better educator in emergency
medicine. . . The mechanics of treatment are thoroughly explained
in this book by leaders in emergency medicine education, providing
best practices and effectively focusing on the emergency medicine
venue." (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 1 July
2013)

"This is an easy-to-read book ideal for junior faculty in
emergency medicine. The summaries at the end of each chapter are
well written and high yield. The book describes practical ways of
teaching that can be easily applied and includes references for
resources to fill out the details not supplied in the book. The
advantage of the second edition is the focus on complementing
education with online resources and technology that appeal to this
generation's learners." (Doody's, 17 May
