  • サマリー

  • Techies Without Borders (TWB) is a non-profit organization that aims to deliver high-quality CME to low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) where there are significant cost and internet access barriers for clinicians to stay up-to-date. Our program is currently established in 19 countries, serving 5,500 doctors who care for 13,400,000 patients. Our primary content delivery method is via the Continuing Medical Education on Stick (CMES) and CMES-Pi, a small computer at each site that automatically downloads content from our cloud-based server each month. The content includes podcasts and written summaries from Emergency Medicine Reviews and Perspectives (EM:RAP-GO), emDocs.net, Don’t Forget the Bubbles, and the World Health Organization (WHO), Life in the Fast Lane, and EM Cases. There is also point-of-care ultrasound content donated by Alfred Health and emergency medical services (EMS) content donated by the MCHD Paramedic Podcast. The CME material is geared toward EM, but all specialties will find useful content. New content for other specialists is being added. We are also able to upload local CME materials. The content from the Pi can be transferred to an app so that users can access material remotely without the need for the internet. You can learn more about our initiatives here:

    One resounding theme of user feedback that there is not enough ID content on our server relevant to LMIC. IDs are the most common causes of death in these parts of the world. There is also a disparity in publication and scholarship among authors in the “global North” compared with the “global South.” In response to these perceived needs, we have developed an ID podcast mini series consisting of interviews with CMES participants in areas of their expertise. These podcasts are uploaded to the CMES audience before being made available to the pubvlic.

    The dual purpose of this podcast is to tailor the content on the CMES server to the needs of our users and to provide digital scholarship opportunities for our partners in the global South.

  • ID4U Episode 2 Typhoid Fever

    ID4U Episode 2 Typhoid Fever
    2024/05/14

    In this episode, Dr. Jess Pelletier speaks with Dr. Emmanuel Effa about typhoid fever.

    Take-Home Points:

    • Typhoid fever is endemic in settings with water and sanitation issues
    • In other places, it is more commonly imported from overseas when people visit endemic areas
    • Typically, infected people present with varying degrees of fever, fatigue, headaches, abdominal pains and constipation/diarrhea. It can run a severe course that leads to death
    • Diagnosis is based on clinical features and cultures of bone marrow, blood, stool or urine
    • Treatment is guided by local protocols dependent on antimicrobial sensitivity patterns
    • Vaccines are available and are reasonably effective.
    • Overall, promoting access to safe water ensuring adequate sanitation; promoting hygiene among food handlers and typhoid vaccination are effective in preventing typhoid fever

  • ID4U Episode 1 Tuberculosis Part 1

    ID4U Episode 1 Tuberculosis Part 1
    2024/04/18

    In Part 1, Dr. Jess Pelletier speaks with Dr. Moses Kitakule about tuberculosis: epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnosis.

    Take-Home Points:

    • TB is a pathogen impacting only humans which infects about ⅓ of the globe
    • Most cases of TB are latent and asymptomatic, but TB can reactivate at any time, particularly if a host becomes immunocompromised or highly exposed to TB
    • Patients with active pulmonary TB may have fevers, night sweats, weight loss, cough lasting more than 3 weeks, hemoptysis, dyspnea, or fatigue, but older adults and those with immune compromise may be asymptomatic or present atypically
    • Imaging abnormalities on chest x-ray, POCUS, or CT should be seen in active TB (but not always in immunocompromised hosts)
    • Diagnostic testing in the ED should involve sending sputum AFB smear and culture, as well as a NAAT, which may help make the diagnosis more rapidly
    • Miliary TB patients may need targeted testing of other body fluids
    • Protecting staff and other patients is critical
