Chief Resident Incubator: Legacy Edition
In 2015, we launched the Chief Resident Incubator aka “CRincubator”, providing Emergency Medicine (EM) Chief Residents with a virtual, online, leadership community to learn and share with each other, framed by a year-long longitudinal curriculum and with the help of elite mentors. However, we realized that we were losing hidden gems of wisdom from year to year, as new Chief Residents start each academic year despite local hand-offs between the incoming and outgoing Chiefs.
Why the CRincubator: Legacy Edition?
We have pivoted away from the annual CRincubator communities and evolved into the CRincubator: Legacy Edition. We have also moved away from the Slack-based platform to our Meerkat Mobius forum model, built using the open-source Discourse platform. It is the first large-scale community we are launching on Meerkat Mobius for the healthcare community.
Pricing
If is free to join, but it is only open to the following individuals in the field of EM:
- Chief residents
- Residency leadership faculty, such as (associate/assistant) residency directors
The private invitation links were sent to the residency programs, which belong to the CORD listserv. If you feel that you are eligible but did not receive an invitation, please contact us with your residency program coordinator email so that we can confirm your eligibility.
Getting Started
The site can be accessed via the desktop browser and/or the free Discourse app [iOS, Google Play]. Be sure to enter the site name (meerkatmobius.org) on the app to get started. Because this Discourse platform is a relatively new app for many, most select the email notification for new posts and weekly summaries.
