About Us
The ICE blog is coordinated by Dr. Eric Warm, an Internal Medicine physician from the University of Cincinnati and supported by a team of editors. The ICE blog features posts specific to Clinician Educators and is a place for CEs to read and share stories of trials, tribulations, successes and innovations from their daily lives.*
We encourage you to share feedback, thoughts, suggestions and opinions with us in the comments section. New posts appear twice a week – on Tuesdays and Fridays—so come back and visit us often! We look forward to hearing from you!

ICE Summit: Controversies in Medical Education
Led by dynamic and renowned Clinician Educators, ICE Summits will push you to think deeply about the most controversial and provocative elements of MedEd – our speakers aren’t presenters, they are provocateurs! [pruh-vok-uh-tur, noun; a person who deliberately behaves controversially in order to provoke argument or other strong reactions.]
Our Summits are about discussing and sharing ideas with some of the brightest minds in MedEd. You will leave with new ideas and concepts, a renewed zest for education practice, a collection of strong take-home messages and new network of international colleagues.
