==Background==
'''Welcome to the WikEM Journal Club!'''  In the spirit of FOAMed, anyone worldwide can contribute.  Our goal is to build a [[:Category:EBQ|repository]] of must-read EM-related articles for residents and practicing physicians.  All [[:Category:EBQ|Evidence Based Reviews]] will also be available offline on the [[WikEM:Mobile Apps|WikEM Mobile App]].

==Articles==
===Article Types===
*The WikEM [[:Category:EBQ|Evidence Based Question (EBQ) Section]] has two distinct types of article templates:
**One for summary of an important study (e.g. [[EBQ:TTM Trial]])
**One for a summary of the literature (i.e multiple studies) relating to an important clinical topic (e.g. [[EBQ:Use of Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (Kayexylate) in Hyperkalemia]])

===Get Involved===
