First 5–60 minutes
ED pharmacist
What must be recognized, prepared, administered, prevented, monitored, and handed off now?
A world-class learning system built for a BCPS emergency medicine pharmacist: pathophysiology deep enough to think like a physician, pharmacology deep enough to teach it, and cases difficult enough to change what happens at the bedside.
One patient · four responsibilities
A common clinical core keeps the science consistent; the overlays expose how urgency, setting, physiology, and continuity change the plan.
First 5–60 minutes
What must be recognized, prepared, administered, prevented, monitored, and handed off now?
Cause to discharge
What caused this, what should persist after stabilization, and what is the telemetry-to-discharge plan?
Physiology under stress
How do shock, infusions, devices, organ failure, and rapidly changing PK/PD alter the decision?
Disease model
What pathology explains the presentation, how is it proven, and when are procedures or consultation needed?

Domain map
Diseases live in one canonical home. Drugs, decisions, physiology, evidence, and patient contexts link across every domain so updates do not drift.
Rhythm, perfusion, ischemia, heart failure, thrombosis, and the drugs that change each.
First module · ArrhythmiasKidney physiology, AKI/CKD, replacement therapy, acid-base, electrolytes, and dose design.
Shock, organ support, sedation, toxicology, emergencies, and time-dependent pharmacotherapy.
Syndrome recognition, pathogen logic, PK/PD, resistance, source control, and stewardship.
Stroke, seizures, intracranial emergencies, movement disorders, and neuropharmacology.
Airflow, gas exchange, pulmonary vascular disease, ventilatory failure, and respiratory drugs.
Diabetes, endocrine emergencies, thyroid/adrenal disease, obesity, and metabolic therapeutics.
Hemostasis, malignancy, oncologic emergencies, antineoplastics, and supportive care.
Luminal disease, liver failure, pancreatobiliary care, nutrition, and altered drug handling.
Inflammation, autoimmunity, immunosuppression, biologics, and immune-mediated toxicity.
Acute behavior, longitudinal psychopharmacology, withdrawal, overdose, and recovery.
Pregnancy, geriatrics, obesity, pediatrics, perioperative care, and organ dysfunction.
Mastery, not completion
Mastery requires accurate decisions on unseen cases, zero repeated safety-critical errors, durable recall after 30 days, and a mechanism/evidence teach-back that another clinician could trust.
