Program Description: 

The educational series is designed to teach and maintain skills for emergency medicine providers for low occurrence procedures which can occur in both high and low acuity situations. Physicians will also learn how teach and supervise trainees for procedures performed in the emergency department. The focus is for hands on training and repetition to help develop psychomotor skills. Didactics will be included to supplement hands on training. Examples of topics include airway management, infrequent emergent procedures, emergent scenarios such as imminent deliveries, diagnostic and procedural guided point-of-care ultrasound, and more.
