UCSF CME: Building a Career in Global Health and Emergency Medicine is organized by The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Office of Continuing Medical Education and will be held during May 09 - 10, 2018 at Mission Hall UCSF, San Francisco, California, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 15 Hours CME Credits.
Conference Description :
This conference is designed for early career physicians and fellows who are interested in building a career that encompasses both emergency medicine and global health. It is also appropriate for later career providers who are interested in incorporating global health work for the first time. The day-and-a-half agenda is designed to provide participants with both the knowledge and skills to successfully navigate both domestic issues such as funding and negotiating a job, as well as international issues such as building partnerships and using ultrasound in resource-limited settings. Participants will also have ample time to meet and get to know others working in similar settings, opening up the possibilities for mutual learning and collaborations.
Conference Objectives are :
• Apply outreach- and relationship-building strategies that will support improved outcomes.
• Apply strategies for funding a career in global health, international and/or emergency medicine.
• Increase competency in the use and interpretation of ultrasound.
• Pursue possible solutions to the challenges of use and interpretation of ultrasound.
• Continue to stay up-to-date on the latest evidence-based practices and apply these practices to current work in such settings.
• Apply tools to the development, implementation and evaluation of medical education curriculum.
• Apply concepts of disaster management.
