EPM Talk
Hello everyone, this is Mark Plaster, your host for EPM Talk. EPM Talk is where emergency physicians aka ER docs hear the latest and most up to date information on relevant research, professional issues and all kinds of practice related topics. On most shows, I’ll be interviewing national specialty and key opinion leaders in casual conversations. Additionally, you’ll hear from the Emergency Physicians Monthly board break down some of the most controversial news in our Crash Cart segment. And most important I’ll be reading from and giving the behind the scenes story of Night Shift, that iconic anthology of myths, legends and real experiences we’ve all shared after dark. This is EPM Talk.
