Emergency Medicine Education — Grounded in Real World Care
Teaching ECG interpretation and cardiovascular emergencies through clarity, curiosity, and collaboration.
My Teaching Philosophy
My path into medicine was not guided by early mentorship or structured direction. It was built on curiosity, hard work, and the belief that determination can bridge any gap. Over time, I learned that while self-discipline opens doors, great mentors show you how to walk through them with purpose. That realization shaped how I practice medicine and how I teach it.
I have been fortunate to learn from some of the best minds in emergency medicine, and I have seen how support, clarity, and feedback can accelerate growth far beyond what effort alone can achieve. The combination of hard work and mentorship now defines how I approach education, creating learning environments that challenge, encourage, and empower.
I remind my students and residents that our patients do not choose us. They arrive in their most vulnerable moments, expecting us to be ready every time. That responsibility drives my passion for teaching. My goal is to help others develop the knowledge, habits, and mindset to meet that moment and deliver their very best when it matters most.
Teaching is not only about sharing information. It is about building confidence, integrity, and readiness for the moments that define our profession.
Projects & Resources
My work in education is driven by a deep respect for those who taught me and a responsibility to pay that forward. I focus on building tools, resources, and platforms that make complex cardiovascular concepts practical, accessible, and relevant to everyday emergency care.
Through projects like ECG Weekly, ECG STAT, ECG Skills, CorePendium, and residency-based teaching, I aim to connect evidence, pattern recognition, and real-world application. Each initiative reflects a simple goal — to help clinicians everywhere deliver safer, smarter care when it matters most.
ECG Weekly with Dr. Amal Mattu 🎓
I am honored to work alongside Dr. Amal Mattu as an editor for ECGweekly.com, a global resource dedicated to teaching emergency clinicians how to interpret ECGs with clarity, precision, and clinical relevance. Each weekly case highlights real-world scenarios that challenge assumptions and build the pattern recognition skills needed to identify life-threatening conditions early.
Through my work with ECG Weekly, I help curate and refine content that connects advanced electrocardiography with practical emergency medicine decision-making. Our goal is to make every episode a focused, high-yield learning experience that physicians can immediately apply on shift.
ECG Weekly has become more than a teaching platform — it is a global learning community built on mentorship, case-based reasoning, and a shared mission to improve patient care through better ECG interpretation.
EMRAP & CorePendium 📘
As Associate Editor for the Cardiovascular Disorders section of CorePendium, EM:RAP’s living emergency medicine textbook, I help shape and update content that reflects the latest science and real-world practice of acute care.
I believe that medical education must evolve with technology. CorePendium represents that evolution — a continually updated, digital reference built by emergency physicians for emergency physicians. My goal is to ensure the cardiovascular section remains accurate, relevant, and clinically actionable for everyone practicing at the bedside.
Contributing to CorePendium is deeply meaningful to me because it aligns with my vision of creating accessible, evidence-based, high-quality education that strengthens our specialty for years to come.
ECG STAT & Skills 🎓
ECG STAT started as a passion project to bring Dr. Amal Mattu’s ECG teaching to the bedside. It has evolved into a point-of-care ECG interpretation guide and learning platform that helps clinicians recognize high-risk patterns, interpret tracings in clinical context, and make better decisions in real time.
Building on that foundation, I developed ECG Skills, a structured learning and assessment platform that allows students, residents, and clinicians to test their ECG interpretation ability, track progress, and demonstrate true clinical competency.
Together, ECG STAT and ECG Skills form a complete ECG education ecosystem designed to make advanced interpretation accessible, practical, and lifesaving for every emergency clinician.
Residency Curriculum & Teaching ⚙️
At Baylor University Medical Center, I have had the privilege of developing ECG curricula, simulation programs, and teaching tools for residents and medical students. I focus on translating complex cardiovascular concepts into pattern-based, practical learning that prepares trainees for the challenges of real-world emergency medicine.
Beyond our institution, I teach advanced ECG workshops at national and international conferences, including sessions on occlusion MI, tachydysrhythmias, and ACS mimics. I believe education is most powerful when it blends experience, humility, and clarity — giving clinicians the skills and confidence to deliver better care.
Teaching remains the most rewarding part of my career. Every session is a chance to shape the next generation of emergency physicians and share the lessons I continue to learn myself.
