Start Here
Hi, I’m Owen, the founder of Ditch Doc EM. I would like to welcome you to the site personally, and specifically, welcome you to the brand new start page! This page will give you an idea of what the site is all about, and the type of content you can expect to find.
I created Ditch Doc EM for the purpose of providing Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAMed) geared toward the pre-hospital environment. EMTs, AEMTs, Paramedics, and Nurses will gain the greatest benefit from the site, but absolutely all are welcome. Whether you are on your first day of EMT class, or a seasoned Critical Care Paramedic, there is something here for you.
Before I forget, please take a moment and subscribe to the site by clicking here. As a subscriber, you will receive exclusive content not available to other viewers. There is no cost to subscribe, and there never will be.
