The Canadian Association of Emergency Physician (CAEP) meeting was held in Edmonton earlier this year. The theme of he conference was Lighting the Way. There was a Free Open Access to Medical Education (FOAMed) track with four amazing speakers. One of those speakers was Eve Purdy.

Eve Purdy (@purdy_Eve): Eve is a PGY1 in Emergency Medicine at Queen’s University. She has keen interest in medical education. She has experience consuming, sharing, creating and researching FOAM as the founder and editor of Manu et Corde, a student editor at BoringEM and the lead author on a national study of the use of open-access resources by Canadian emergency medicine residents. Eve is fascinated by the concept of personal learning environments and will continue exploring how social networks influence what we know.

You Don’t Know What You’ve Got ‘Til It’s Gone

Medical learners frequently use open-access resources to find information at the point of care. We will explore how a simple educational intervention, ditching the smartphone, might help learners and their teachers reflect on the impact of such resources and discover how going smartphone-free can serve as a powerful jumping off point for teaching and learning in the department.
