India is the second most populous country in the world and will soon overtake China in being ‘numero uno’. There is a growing disparity between the numbers of patients per doctor. In such an atmosphere, Emergency Physicians are a growing need.
In 1999, the Society of Emergency Medicine, India was constructed with aim to promote emergency medicine in India.1 In its first ever meeting held in 1999, it brought together Emergency Medicine (EM) enthusiasts to build the field.

The program for dasSMACC has been released and the Core EM team is extremely excited. This is the 5th iteration of this amazing conference and we continue to see the program evolve. This year, the conference features a single stage with 2500 seats. While this means no concurrent tracks and fewer speakers, it also means that this will be more than just a conference but rather an incredible event featuring the best in Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, Anesthesia, Pre-hospital Medicine and so much more. dasSMACC will continue to have the best pre-day conference workshops ever put together including SMACC Force, Learning to Take the Heat: Training for Stress, Brewing Your Own FOAM, SMACC Airway and Talk Like SMACC.
Tickets for the conference go on sale on 10/26/16 and much like a rock concert, they will sell out quickly. If you’ve never been to SMACC before, check out the site,

Earlier this week, I got a text from one of my mentors, Rob Rogers (@EM_Educator):
This would be at least a slightly anxiety provoking EKG on a shift but was much more worrisome when I saw the name at the top. Fortunately, Rob was quickly taken to a cardiac catheterization lab and PCI was successfully performed.
Rob has been one of the biggest inspirations for our site and has been incredibly supportive as we’ve developed and grown over the last year. His input, critique and advice has been unmeasurably valuable.Despite being in the hospital post-PCI, Rob still took the opportunity to educate the rest of us:
On a personal note, Rob has been integral in my development as an Emergency Physician, speaker, learner and educator.
Rob, from all of us at Core EM, we wish you a speedy recovery!
