Clinical Anatomy
An understanding of anatomy is an essential component of emergency medicine and critical care – but is often very poorly taught (or poorly learned!).
Andy Neill of Emergency Medicine Ireland has done an amazing job of creating a series of Anatomy For Emergency Medicine Podcasts and Visual Resources on Vimeo and iTunes. No point in re-inventing the wheel, so here we collate this audiovisual Gold.
