The course consists of focused presentations covering a broad array of topics for patient management in an acute setting with an emphasis on a practical approach to patient care, implementing best practices and clinical problem solving. Attendees will participate in interactive case studies and may select one of three wet labs in the afternoon. All participating practitioners will benefit from an understanding of the unique challenges in this patient population.
