ABOUT EB MEDICINE

The publisher of the Emergency Medicine Practice, Pediatric Emergency Medicine
Practice and Evidence-Based Urgent Care

EB Medicine has been producing leading evidence-based educational material and
CME courses since 1999, giving our subscribers access to more than 300 topics
and over 20 years of experience.

The “EB” in our name stands for “evidence-based” and reflects our guiding
philosophy: that evidence-based content is the best medicine.

Like you, we recognize the need for excellence in emergency patient care. For
each of our publications and courses, peer experts have reviewed the current
body of evidence to present you with essential findings, conclusions, and best
practices to inform your clinical decisions. You receive real-world, practical,
actionable guidance you can rely on to improve patient outcomes.

And with more than 600 CME credits available across the full array of must-know
emergency medicine and urgent care topics, you can advance your clinical
knowledge and improve your practice, all the while fulfilling requirements for
ongoing CME.

Whether you’re a recent graduate or a veteran emergency clinician with decades
of experience, our CME resources allow you to dive deeply into the current
evidence that will help you make the best clinical decisions on shift.

Our content is developed by experienced physicians facing the challenges and
realities of practicing medicine every day, all accomplished in their medical
specialties. Guided by our Editors-in-Chief, they research, write, review, edit,
and present every component of our journal content and educational courses.

The editorial process behind every EB Medicine resource is rigorous: from
recruiting and selecting the best authors for each topic to planning, peer
reviewing, and editing. Our infographic below shows you exactly what happens at
each stage of the editorial process - from concept to completion.

We understand that, in the world of emergency medicine and urgent care, no two
days are ever the same. That’s what makes it so rewarding – and challenging. EB
Medicine is here to guide you, providing practical and reliable answers, in a
concise and easy-to-use format, to inform and improve your clinical decision
making when it matters most.

We’re right here beside you from residency to retirement, supporting you with
the evidence-based education you need to excel throughout your rewarding,
successful career in medicine.

EB Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

EB Medicine’s Statement on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools in
Content Production
At EB Medicine, we produce content for emergency medicine and urgent care
clinicians that is evidence-based and peer reviewed, and at the same time
infused with an understanding of the realities of clinical practice, human
behavior, and institutional and social limitations that only humans can apply.
For these reasons, EB Medicine assures our readers and subscribers that all
authors of our content have certified that they have not used generative
AI-assisted technology in the writing of their manuscript and that clinical
pathways and images are human-designed
