In short, I wanted to thank everybody for your readership and feedback over the past five years. I initially launched this website in an effort to educate residents Cincinnati Children’s. The initial launch for the site was heralded by a Twitter trivia contest. Needless to say PEMBlog grown into something much bigger than I had ever hoped. Since August 2012 I’ve amassed over 320,000 site views from readers across the globe! This is because you’ve kept reading the site and have shared it with your colleagues. I don’t make a dime off of PEMBlog.com. I will never have ads and I truly believe that the #FOAMed movement is one worth nurturing and supporting. That’s why I will continue to bring you content free of charge and commercial bias.

You may have noticed that the site and its logo has undergone a bit of a refresh – nothing too drastic of course. In addition to iterating upon the design, layout and functionality of the site I promise to continue to deliver educational blog posts, increase my video content, and offer CME for PEM Currents, the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast. Despite my site’s growth the core message remains the same – That all of our patients deserve a care provider who not only does the right thing but knows how and why to do the right thing. That more than anything else drives me to share what I’ve learned.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your support and engagement. Without you, the readers and contributors, PEMBlog would not be where it is to day. You all inspire me to be a better teacher and physician!
