FOAM is ‘free open-access meducation’. On Twitter, where the #FOAM hashtag can lead one into less educational realms, we call it #FOAMed. For me FOAM is simply medical education available to anyone, anytime, anywhere at no cost. Since Dublin, this banal little acronym has become something of a worldwide mini-movement. A community has developed around an effervescent collection of constantly evolving, interactive open access medical education resources shared on the web with one objective — to make the world a better place. FOAM is independent of platform or media — it includes blogs, podcasts, tweets, Google hangouts, online videos, text documents, photographs, Facebook groups, and a whole lot more.
