Advanced EM Pharmacology Workshops
Join us for two 4-hour workshops that dive into the core drugs that relate to emergency practice.
About the Workshops
Given the pace of emergency medicine, a strong working knowledge of EM drugs is essential. Which drugs are recommended? What are the best routes? What are the side effects? The intensive 8-hour Advanced EM Pharmacology Workshop (two 4-hour sessions) is designed to give you an in-depth review of almost all of the drugs that are used in the ED on a day-to-day basis.
This educational activity is pending approval by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) for up to 8.0 contact hour(s) of accredited education (which includes 4.0 hour(s) of pharmacology for part 1 and 4.0 hour(s) of pharmacology for part 2).
