Overview
The 20th Annual Emergency Medicine Symposium: A Practical Update is a cutting-edge course that will provide participants with the latest clinical information to support the delivery of fast and accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions. Expert faculty will share their broad knowledge and clinical expertise, energy, and commitment to emergency medicine. This one-day activity will cover current and emerging trends in the emergency department (ED) and will include content on modern resuscitation, current hot topics will include non-opiate alternatives to pain management, best practice management for atrial fibrillation and flutter often seen in the emergency department.
