\"TORREY\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am passionate about EKGs.\u00a0 I have studied and collected EKGs for over 30 years, the entire time as an emergency medicine physician.\u00a0 For the last 15 years I have been the \u201cEKG geek\u201d in the emergency department at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, and have had the pleasure of teaching scores of wonderful emergency medicine residents, as well as medical students from Tufts University School of Medicine.\u00a0 More recently I have been able to transfer this fund of knowledge to broader audiences at both national and international venues\u2014from Poland to Argentina to Myanmar.<\/p>\n

This website is designed to be the repository of my extensive collection of EKGs and some of the curriculum tools I have developed, including EKG of the Week, EKG examples, and presentations that I have given (both PowerPoint presentations and accompanying handouts).\u00a0 With unrestricted access to this material I hope others will be able to develop their expertise in interpreting EKGs in emergency medicine or other acute care settings, and perhaps develop or expand their own EKG curriculum.<\/p>\n

On a busy, chaotic shift in the ED nothing can make me smile quite like being asked to review an EKG with a resident or colleague.\u00a0 In that light, I really do invite your comments and questions, or send me an interesting EKG (I\u2019ll reference you if we publish it as an EKG of the Week).<\/p>\n
