What's FOAMed?

FOAM – Free Open Access Meducation (#FOAMed) – Medical education for anyone, anywhere, anytime. The collaborative hashtag #FOAMed was first coined in June 2012 in a pub in Dublin, over a pint of Guinness during ICEM 2012. Proudly by legends including Leonard Cohen…

FOAM is a collection of resources, a community and an ethos. The FOAM community spontaneously emerged from the collection of constantly evolving, collaborative and interactive open access medical education resources being distributed on the web with one objective — to make the world a better place. FOAM is independent of platform or media — it includes blogs, podcasts, tweets, online videos, text documents, photographs, Facebook groups, and a whole lot more.
