    Academics for the Community Provider- Bringing quality and longevity to your career

    In medicine we often draw a solid line between community and academic medicine, but this likely is a fallacy. In fact there is a huge amount of academia that can be found and thrive in a community hospital. In this interview we talk with Dr. Salim Rezaie of the REBEL EM blog and podcast, a man who has walked both sides of this imaginary line between community and academics. In our chat we discuss ways to get involved in academics in the community and the vast array of rewards that come with that including improved patient care, increased fervor for your work, decreased burnout, and increased career longevity.    Authors: Jason Hine MD, Salim Rezaie MD Peer Review: Jeff Holmes MD, Mike Burla MD

    The COVID 19 Vaccine- Part 2- what the front line provider needs to know, review of the pfizer study

    This is Part 2 of our discussion of the COVID-19 vaccines. With frontline providers across the country (and world) asking themselves "Am I comfortable getting this vaccine?" we thought it important to review some of the basic science (Part 1) and data (Part 2) behind these mRNA vaccines.    In this podcast we ask What did the Pfizer phase 3 study show? What outcomes did they look at? Did they meet those outcome targets? Specifically- what the vaccine effective ... and was it safe?   Disclaimer: I am not an infectious disease physician, immunologist, or population health specialist. These perspectives are those of an Emergency Medicine physician. In order to expedite the delivery of this material to you, the frontline provider, this content did not undergo our typical peer review process.    References: Rabies vaccine phase 1 study [pubmed] Pfizer Phase 3 study results [NEJM] Check out the DownEast EM site for more.   Author: Jason Hine MD
