Attempting to Bring Upstairs Care, Downstairs One Podcast at a Time

Hi my name is Scott Weingart. Any posts listed as authored by EMCrit are by me. I am an ED Intensivist from New York City. I hold the degree of MD (Medical Doctor). I went to medical school and did my emergency medicine residency at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and then did a fellowship in trauma and surgical critical care at the Shock Trauma Center.

My career goal and the purpose of this blog and podcast are to bring Upstairs Care, Downstairs–that is to bring ICU level care to the ED, so our patients can receive optimum treatment the moment they roll through the door.

The audience for this forum is medical residents, attendings, nurses, paramedics, EMTs and students.
