Emergency Medicine & Acute Care Critical Appraisal Series

Using primarily the Emergency Medical Abstracts database of over 14,000 abstracts, and focusing on the literature primarily of the last five years, 28 presentations, each of 30-minute duration are presented along with four 90-minute faculty panels. The topics chosen to be addressed are determined by faculty input and feedback from prior registrants. Using largely a question/answer format, the focus of the course is the new, the controversial and the provocative. The course faculty synthesize the literature and combine it with their clinical experience to provide participants with specific recommendations regarding diagnosis and therapy related to emergency care.
