Abstract
Methods Many advances have been made in emergency medicine recently. I surveyed colleagues both locally and internationally to nominate suitable topics. The topics I have chosen were considered to be clinically useful and educational. They reflect subjects of change or advancement. Once the topics were chosen, I performed a directed review of leading relevant journals, mostly from publications in 2000-1. Because of space restrictions, this article cannot be a comprehensive review of all recent advances.Keywords
