Emergency Medicine & Acute Care

Course Dates & Locations

Each of the locations has been the site of many of our prior courses and is well known to us. In addition, the hotels are among the finest in the area and each provides its own unique opportunities – world-class sun and surf, golfing, or access to major cosmopolitan areas.

Course Hours: Four-day courses begin at 7:00am with registration and continental breakfast, lectures begin at 7:30am and end at 1:00pm. Five-day courses have the same schedule and have the 3rd day off to relax and explore. For the Vail course, lecture times are from 7:30am until 9:30am, and from 4:30pm until 7:00pm daily except for the last day where a morning session is only held. Schedules for all courses are provided approximately two weeks before the course date.

Situated in one of the best locations on Maui, the Wailea Marriott will again host our annual Hawaii course. Based on over 19 prior successful courses, we just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to return to this extensively updated hotel. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed, the amenities are first class, and the hotel features the most incredible infinity-edge pool you’ve ever seen. There’s a great water park for the kids and there are plenty of nearby diversions when you get tired of soaking up the sun (aka, serious shopping, great golf courses, fine dining, helicopter tours, exploring and more!). The Wailea end of Maui is far more peaceful and tranquil than the much more “touristy” Kaanapali and is the perfect location for a mid-winter getaway where you can recharge your batteries, take in some serious CME and experience the best that Hawaii has to offer.

There is easy access to the sights and sounds of the Mississippi river (only a few blocks away) as well our favorite places in the Quarter - the Café du Monde for late night beignets and chicory coffee, the Acme Oyster House, the best fried chicken in New Orleans (Willie Mae’s Scotch House), some very serious antique shops, and the artists and entertainers at Jackson Square. Also check out Mina’s right behind the hotel — and ask for the ham hocks — and the Palace Café (just to the right when leaving the hotel) — seriously good food literally feet from the hotel. And a word to the wise, the airlines know you’re going to Jazz Fest so don’t expect any last — minute bargains — book your plane tickets early!

Key West has been one of our most popular course destinations for decades and it’s easy to see why. The town seems to be “lost in time” and this is what makes it so unique and charming. It is funky, quaint, very friendly and a great place to enjoy the sun and Caribbean blue water. If you’re into fishing, you won’t find better. If you’re a walker, there’s lots to see – Hemingway’s home, the most southern spot in the U.S., the harbor where huge liners berth for the day, and great window shopping on Duval Street. Our host hotel this year will again be Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton – the best hotel in the Keys. Located on the largest private beach in Key West, the Casa Marina combines old world charm with every amenity you would expect to find in a world-class hotel. The pool and beach area are unquestionably the best and most inviting on the island and the hotel is only a short walk to many of the major attractions of Key West.
