EM:RAP (Emergency Medicine Reviews and Perspectives) recently unveiled its revolutionary new online textbook, CorePendium, and the Department of Emergency Medicine contributed in a big way, with far more involvement in the text than any other emergency medicine program in the United States.

CorePendium’s content is enriched with podcasts, videos, and other media and there are plans for quarterly updates. As Mel Herbert, EM:RAP’s founder and CEO puts it in this introductory video, “CorePendium is the grand unified educational experience and textbook that we’ve been marching towards for nearly 20 years.”
