Developing a Novel, At-Home Procedure Curriculum for Fourth-Year Medical Students in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic provided our institution a unique opportunity to develop a new procedural curriculum for our fourth-year, emergency medicine-bound medical students. A significant portion of our ED's fourth-year elective has traditionally been centered in our simulation center, using high-fidelity simulation models to practice important emergency medicine procedures. Due to the pandemic, the simulation center was unavailable for our use, and this new curriculum was created in an effort to fill this gap in procedural education.

Varied Presentation of Fulminant Blastomycosis with Prostatitis and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in a Patient With High Inoculum Inhalation: A Review of Diagnosis and Management.

Blastomycosis is an uncommon granulomatous disease caused by infection with thermally dimorphic fungi of the genus Blastomyces.

We report a case of fulminant blastomycosis after high inoculum inhalation, with involvement of the prostate on presentation, which progressed to acute respiratory distress syndrome.
