The Oakstone Institute Specialty Review

Keep up with rapidly evolving EM best practices and earn CE credit with this authoritative review.

Stay Current with New Best Practices in Emergency Medicine

This program reviews rapidly evolving standards of care for emergency medicine patients. It is designed to reduce errors and improve performance with lectures covering advances in ultrasound applications, changes in CPR recommendations and other clinical guidelines and strategies to improve outcomes. Lectures cover standardized care for acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, undifferentiated shock, evolving best practices for airway management, ACLS, sepsis care, PE, MI, as well as new pharmacological guidelines for management of angioedema, procedural sedation, anticoagulation and other areas. The program is ideal for all EM practitioners, especially those who graduated from training programs prior to the widespread teaching of ultrasound applications in emergency medicine. It will help you to better:

• Incorporate new standards of care to emergency medicine patients
• Apply ultrasound skills for diagnostic and therapeutic applications
• Apply and interpret tests, EKGs and imaging studies with state of the art understanding
• Compare, contrast, analyze and synthesize data to improve care and decrease errors
• Design evaluation and care plans that optimize costs, efficiency and quality

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, you should be able to:

• Knowledge – Provide up-to-date evidence to close the knowledge gap that may have developed since graduation from residency training.
• Application – The course participants will improve their ability to apply ultrasound skills for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Participants will apply and interpret tests, EKGs, and imaging studies with state of the art understanding.
• Analysis – Adding to current evidence the participant will improve their ability to compare, contrast, analyze and synthesize data to improve care and decrease errors.
• Synthesize – Improve the participants ability to create a broad differential enabling them to design an evaluation and care plan that optimizes costs, efficiency and quality.

Target Audience

• Community emergency medicine practitioners interested in evidence-based updates that have transpired over the past five years
• Mid-level practitioners working in emergency medicine settings
• EM practitioners who graduated from training programs prior to the widespread teaching of ultrasound applications in emergency medicine
