SUMMARY:IAHPC Workshop: Speak with Impact - Palliative Care Elevator Pitch

SUMMARY:Resuscitation Course for Acute Medicine Practicing Physicians
DESCRIPTION:CCCS is pleased to announce the N-ACES *NEW* Resuscitation Course for Acute Medicine Practicing Physicians (ReCAPP). Register before April 30 to take advantage of early-bird rates! \nReCAPP has been designed to provide a high-quality\, interactive educational opportunity for Canadian practicing physicians who are involved in the initial or ongoing care of acutely unstable patients\, increasingly cared for outside the walls of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). \nThis course\, delivered by a group of Canadian critical care physician-educators\, will offer to its participants numerous opportunities for practice and formative feedback\, in a non-judgmental\, low-risk\, informal learning environment. Our main goal is to create conditions where physicians can learn together and from each other how to care for their sickest patients\, and ultimately\, improve the quality of care received by critically ill patients. \nWho Should Attend? \nAny physicians (e.g.\, emergency medicine\, internal medicine\, family medicine\, etc.) involved intermittently or routinely in the care of acutely and severely ill patients (e.g.\, who may require a transfer to the ICU or are already admitted in an ICU)\, and who want to 1) practice or upscale clinical skills that they need but may use only sporadically\, 2) advance their knowledge and skills within specific areas of practice\, and/or 3) ensure they are up to date on a range of topics. \nREGISTER HERE
