About the Conference

Emergency Medicine Karnataka —
Shaping the Future of EM in India

Now in its 6th edition, EM Karnataka is the state's premier forum for emergency care clinicians, educators, and researchers.

EM Karnataka was born from the collective vision of Karnataka's emergency physicians — a need for a dedicated state-level forum where cutting-edge science, hands-on skills, and strong community bonds could flourish. Since its inaugural edition, the conference has grown into one of India's most respected regional emergency medicine gatherings, drawing speakers and delegates from across the country each year.

The conference uniquely combines intensive hands-on workshops over the first two days with a full academic conference programme on days three and four — featuring keynotes, paper presentations, e-posters, CPC competitions, and the EM Quiz. Each year, a bold theme anchors the scientific agenda. In 2026, that theme is Climate Change & Emergency Medicine, reflecting the urgent realities reshaping frontline care across India.

Whether you are a consultant, resident, nurse practitioner, or researcher — EM Karnataka 2026 offers sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities designed for every stage of your career.

6 Editions of Excellence
Growing every year since its inaugural edition, EM Karnataka has established itself as the defining state-level conference for emergency medicine in India.

Part 1 — The Case

  • Title slide: concise, informative, fully anonymized — do not reveal the final diagnosis. Include presenting faculty's name and institution.
  • Case presentation: anonymized demographics, history of presenting illness, relevant past/family/social history, physical exam findings, actual investigations (ECG, ABG, imaging, pathology) presented without interpretation, clinical course in chronological order.
  • Close Part 1 with a slide posing: "What is your diagnosis, and how will you confirm it?"

Part 2 — Case Resolution

  • Solution: diagnosis on its own slide, substantiated with supporting evidence.
  • Teaching points: compulsory slide titled "Why This Case Is an Ideal CPC Case," structured under three compulsory headings — Relevance, Solvability, Discussability.
  • Each institute/faculty may submit only one case; each team solves only one case. Prizes for both best case submitted (faculty) and best case solution (resident).

Use of AI

AI tools are common in preparing case discussions and are not discouraged. Scoring rewards the quality of diagnostic reasoning — history/exam findings used, differentials considered, logic connecting each step, and the ability to defend that reasoning live — not simply naming the correct diagnosis.

Use whatever tools help you think — but come prepared to think out loud.
