OVERVIEW

Critical Care Emergency Medicine is organized by CME4LIFE.

Description:
In this CME program, you get instant access to the premier conference for practitioners who care for the critically ill. If you are a physican assistant, nurse practitioner, or primary care physician working at a critical access ED, this program will make or break your performance. CME4Life’s Critical Care Emergency Medicine CME program is perfect for those who run codes or may run codes one day. As we have taught Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and ACLS – Experienced Provider, this program teaches a deep understanding of resuscitation. After completion of this program, the participant will be able to evaluate and assess critically ill patients with more confidence using systems and processes taught in these lectures.

Included in this program is a USB flash drive that contains 6 hours of video and an accompanying presentation in PDF format.
