INTRODUCTION: Free open-access medical education (FOAM) is a collection of
interactive online medical education resources-free and accessible to students,
physicians and other learners. This novel approach to medical education has the
potential to reach learners across the globe; however, the extent of its global
uptake is unknown. METHODS: This descriptive report evaluates the 2016 web
analytics data from a convenience sample of FOAM blogs and websites with a focus
on emergency medicine (EM) and critical care. The number of times a site was
accessed, or "sessions", was categorized by country of access, cross-referenced
with World Bank data for population and income level, and then analyzed using
simple descriptive statistics and geographic mapping. RESULTS: We analyzed 12
FOAM blogs published from six countries, with a total reported volume of
approximately 18.7 million sessions worldwide in 2016. High-income countries
accounted for 73.7% of population-weighted FOAM blog and website sessions in
2016, while upper-middle income countries, lower-middle income countries and
low-income countries accounted for 17.5%, 8.5% and 0.3%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: FOAM, while largely used in high-income countries, is used in low-
and middle-income countries as well. The potential to provide free, online
training resources for EM in places where formal training is limited is
significant and thus is prime for further investigation.
