42 nd Annual Topics in Emergency Medicine Topics in Emergency Medicine The UCSF Department of Emergency Medicine and Office of Continuing Medical Education are proud to offer the 42 nd Annual Topics in Emergency Medicine. Course topics, both adult and pediatric, are selected to represent those that emergency medicine and urgent care practitioners must remain wary of in order to provide cutting edge care, minimize risk (both to patient and provider), and comply with performance measures. We have assembled award-winning educational leaders from the UCSF Department of Emergency Medicine and UCSF’s world-renowned specialists to lead our lectures and hands-on workshops with the emphasis on initial evaluation, treatment and indications for consultation and referral. An attendee completing the Topics in Emergency Medicine course should be able to: • Illustrate evidence-based methods for evaluation and treatment of a wide variety of emergency medical and traumatic presentations; • Employ advances in emergency medical care that can improve outcomes and compliance with performance measures while minimizing risk to patients and providers; • Improve technical skills in airway management, pediatric and critical care procedures, as well as procedural ultrasound through hands-on teaching.

Currently all marketing materials such as brochures and syllabi are printed only on recycled paper. We have made other simple steps in our effort to go green such as posting recycling bins near the break area, eliminating plastic water bottles by providing pitchers of water instead and in some cases only buying local food. We need your help – if you would like to see this course provide only an electronic syllabus or make other changes please let us know via your evaluation.
