This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 16.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s).
Accreditation :
• Trauma and Acute Care Sonography - 8.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
• Hands-On Workshop - 8.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 6.00 hour(s) of ACEP Category 1 Credit.
Conference Description :
Blended Trauma and Acute Care Sonography Training Course provides participants a strong foundation to perform the core ultrasound applications as outlined in the ACEP emergency ultrasound practice guidelines. This blended course is specifically designed for physicians, sonographers and other medical professionals who need trauma and acute care sonography training.
Conference Topics :
• Ultrasound Imaging Fundamentals.
• Abdominal Scanning Fundamentals.
• The FAST and E-FAST Exams.
