EM Pulse Podcast™

Packing for the Unexpected


Listen Later

Summer travel is in full swing and, for physicians, that means more than just packing swimsuits and sunscreen. In this episode of EM Pulse, we sit down with wilderness medicine expert, Dr. Mary Bing, to unpack the real-world essentials of travel medical kits. From duct tape and whistles to epinephrine and steroids, you’ll learn what to bring, how to tailor your supplies based on destination and group, and why your role as a physician—formal or not—comes with extra responsibilities. Whether you’re headed to the Alps or the backyard, this episode is your go-to guide for staying medically prepared on the move. Don’t just travel light—travel smart.
