Overview

ThinkER equips emergency medicine residents with the tools they need to succeed where it matters most-at the bedside. Interactive and practical, the book is structured in two parts: the first section imparts the essential skills needed to excel in the Emergency Department, while the second section provides immersive case-based learning. Through realistic scenarios, readers are challenged to think critically, communicate clearly, and document effectively, with examples provided for review. The book trains readers in the cognitive framework unique to emergency care, where uncertainty, urgency, and limited information are commonplace. It also delves into the 'hidden curriculum' of Emergency Medicine: how to deliver bad news, collaborate with consultants, manage difficult nurses, and avoid communication breakdowns that lead to burnout. Helping to build the mindset and communication skills that distinguish great physicians early in their careers, this book is ideal for first-year residents, EMPA students, and medical students.
