In our first episode, Kim and Mike are excited to introduce you to Crash Cart EM. Crash Cart EM is the podcast for Emergency Medicine at The Ohio State University. We love to teach here, so our goal is to bring you a variety of episodes to fill your mental “Crash Cart”. You’ll learn a little bit about the history of the familiar set of red drawers too- the quintessential symbol of Emergency Medicine. A huge thank you to all of the residents and faculty who have made this project possible!
