POSTED IN: EPIC - The Official Newsletter of MOCEP, March/April 2017,
ACEP is in need of “Doc Blog” content for their Emergency Care For You site. They are looking for articles on basic consumer-health information and have provided suggested topics below. If you have other ideas, they are open to that as well. Articles should be 400-500 words in length, created in a Word document, and have some element of personal experience (mainly a patient or patients you treated once and how that experience can help others, etc.). Please reach out to Michael Baldyga, mbaldyga@acep.org, prior to writing content to verify there is still content needed for that topic.
Suggested Topics:
- Bike injuries that involved not wearing a helmet
- Can you drink too much water? What’s the risk of overhydrating?
- Staying healthy when traveling
- Boating injuries
- How technology is changing the way I do my job.
- Did you treat a shark attack victim? (this could be interesting)
