Free Open Access Meducation (FOAM) describes online resources assisting learning in medicine. Little is known about users or their behaviours. ⋯ Google Analytics can powerfully display usage of medical websites but has important limitations if statistical exploration is required. FOAM users are a heterogenous group, and thus content should be designed with this in mind. Further research must be prioritised focussing on the scope, curriculum coverage, accuracy of information and the effectiveness of FOAM as an educational resource.
