We are excited to announce our new podcast series, 60-Second Soapbox! Each episode, one lucky individual gets exactly 1 whole minute to present their rant-of-choice to the world. Any topic is on the table – clinical, academic, economic, or whatever else may interest an EM-centric audience. Don’t worry if your are microphone-shy. We will carefully remix your audio to add an extra splash of drama and excitement. Even more exciting, participants get to challenge 3 of their peers to stand on a soapbox of their own!



The first 3 episodes feature ALiEM team members Drs. Michelle Lin, Sam Shaikh, and Jeff Riddell. There are a few extra tagged individuals to help get things rolling. If you like these, subscribe using any of these podcast options:
