The clinical skills workshop focuses on procedural skills for high-acuity, low-occurrence (HALO) scenarios with limited specialty back-up. The ultrasound workshop focuses on skills that are useful in locations with limited formal ultrasound coverage, including point-of-care ultrasonography skills that can inform or prevent patient transfers. Regional anesthesia techniques for pain management are also included in the ultrasound curriculum. This workshop includes tracks for clinicians (Physicians, NPs and PAs) as well as RNs.
EMS Conference Day: Conference style and hands on skills day geared towards EMT/EMS/Paramedics.
CE will be provided for both gatherings on this day.
