🎯 Big gains, small doses: The power of microlearning in medical education

In the fast-paced world of clinical practice, finding time for deep learning can be a challenge. That’s where microlearning steps in.

Short, focused bursts of high-impact content that fit into even the busiest schedules.

📚 Research shows that microlearning:

✅ Boosts knowledge retention
✅ Reduces cognitive overload
✅ Encourages spaced repetition
✅ Makes learning more engaging and practical

💡 That’s exactly the approach we’ve built into the recorded "From Zero to Hero in ACS (level 1)" course.

Our on-demand FZTH course breaks down complex ECG topics into bite-sized, clinically relevant video segments, perfect for learning during coffee breaks, commutes, or night shifts.

A massive thank you to all of you who took the time to write a comment or send me feedback about the EPIC25 Conference.

🎉 A Huge Thank You to the EPIC25 Scientific & Organising Committees! 🎉

I’m beyond thrilled to celebrate the resounding success of our fourth annual Emergency Physician’s International Conference (EPIC25), held live online on 16 July 2025!

This year’s themes, Global Emergency Medicine, Medical Education, & New in EM, with a powerful focus on Emergency Medicine in war zones, struck a deep chord with our international audience.

None of it would have been possible without the dedication, passion, and brilliance of our amazing team of speakers and committee members.

🌍 Global EM
We were honoured to be joined by leaders like Dr Taj Hassan, Dr Giles Cattermole, and Dr Mohamed Rashad Abdelaziz, representing organisations such as the Royal College of Emergency Medicine and the Red Cross. Together, they delivered powerful insights on what Global Emergency Medicine really means, and the essential role their organisations play in advancing EM worldwide. This session concluded with an unforgettable discussion on EM in conflict zones.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Medical Education
The second part of the day focused on EM education and curriculum development, featuring enriching talks by Dr Russell Duncan, Dr Gareth Davies, and myself. Together, we explored key principles and challenges in shaping future EM training.

🚨 New in EM
We closed the conference with our always-popular theme, "New in EM", with thought-provoking and innovative ideas presented by Dr Mohamed Mortagy, Dr Naeem Toosy, and Dr Jabeen Fayyaz.

📈 The Response So Far...
The feedback has been overwhelming! With 248 ratings received so far, EPIC25 has been scored an incredible 4.8 out of 5. Your kind words, thoughtful messages, and engagement truly mean the world.

🔧 What’s Next?
Our expert IT team is now hard at work turning the day’s content into a free e-learning module, just like we did last year. This will soon be made available to anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge in Emergency Medicine.

📅 Planning for EPIC26 is already underway!
If you have suggestions for next year’s topics or speakers, please share them in the comments below. I promise, every idea will be taken seriously.

🙏 From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your dedication, collaboration, and excellence. Here’s to even greater impact ahead!

Warm regards,
Dr Hesham Ibrahim

The Monday Quote this time is different, it is NOT from "The Complete Life's Little Instruction Book", but it follows the same principles:

"Stop hanging out with losers unless you want to be one yourself. You are the average of the 5 people you spend most of your time with"
