The most recent Wilderness Medicine rendezvous featured education by fellow David Cabaniss, who recently published an article on hypothermia management in the field in the Winter 2026 edition of Ski Patrol Magazine. This is a monthly opportunity with seasonal themes to network, learn, and build community (usually with fajitas!), blending didactic teaching and hands-on skills practice with case-based learning.

Do you remember the euphoric feeling of waking up in the morning to find out school was canceled for a snow day? ☃️ Well, we decided to take that feeling and treat the residents to their very own adult snow day in lieu of the traditional conference didactics, with guest "lecturers"/guides teaching them about wicked learning environments and safety in the backcountry. And for once, no one was caught dozing off during these presentations!

The national blood shortage highlighted in the link above is a stark reminder that blood is a finite, precious resource, and how we use it matters.This is an important moment to highlight the work being done by West Valley City Fire Department through its use of whole blood in the prehospital setting. Early transfusion of whole blood for patients with life-threatening hemorrhage has been shown to significantly reduce overall transfusion requirements downstream. In other words, getting the right blood to the right patient earlier not only saves lives, it helps preserve scarce blood products for the broader system. (see the bottom for blood drive info!) This program was spearheaded by Dr. Peter Taillac, the medical director for West Valley City Fire Department, who has led this effort both locally and at the state level. It is a strong example of how thoughtful, evidence-informed innovation in prehospital care can have ripple effects across hospitals, blood banks, and entire communities. In times of national shortage, these kinds of forward-thinking approaches are not just impressive, they are essential.

Excited to share this special edition of the REBEL Cast highlighting key insights and educational takeaways from the IncrEMentuM Conference in Spain, a rapidly growing international forum dedicated to advancing emergency medicine education and building a global community of educators. As emergency medicine continues to expand its footprint in Spain, IncrEMentuM has become an important space for sharing ideas, strengthening pedagogy, and inspiring the next generation of clinician-educators.

A particular congratulations to Ryan Ernst, a valued member of our faculty, who was featured alongside Dr. Sara Crager in this episode. Ryan’s work consistently reflects a deep commitment to thoughtful, learner-centered education and to pushing our field forward. Seeing his expertise recognized on an international stage speaks not only to his individual impact, but also to the strength of our educational community.

Grateful to Dr. Mark Ramzy and the REBEL Cast team for spotlighting the incredible work happening across borders, and for amplifying voices like Ryan’s who are shaping the future of emergency medicine education.

Dr. JR Pickett was recently featured on the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, a show that ranks in the top 5 percent of podcasts on Spotify. He joined COL Jennifer Gurney, Army trauma surgeon and head of the DOD Joint Trauma System, and Dennis Jarema, Special Forces medic and cadre for the JFK Special Warfare Center and School, to discuss end-of-life care in the combat setting.

It is a challenging but essential topic, and the conversation reflects the ethical complexity and humanity required to provide care in austere, high-risk environments. A meaningful discussion and well worth a listen.

Residency families in action—PGY-1s, PGY-2s, PGY-3s, and an attending all together outside the hospital. This is Dr. Eric Swanson’s residency family, and it’s a perfect example of what makes our program special.Families that recreate together, stay together—and strong mentorship makes it even better. Grateful for attendings who show up, invest in our growth, and build relationships that extend well beyond the ED.This is how community is built.
