FOAMcast - An Emergency Medicine Podcast

In this mini FOAMcast, we introduce a new segment - statistics.  

We cover inter-rater reliability,\ or, the kappa coefficient, using the PECARN head trauma decision aid as a tool.

As always, visit foamcast.org for show notes and the generously donated Rosh Review questions.
