Dear Colleague,
Welcome back to the Spring edition of Managing Medical Emergencies.
With nationally recognized speakers, our current line up of nine topics is
very exciting. The emphasis, as always, will be on clinical care in the ED,
which you can take home and apply immediately. But, we are also
continuing to vary the length and format of the lectures: Two will be totally
case based, one will be a completely hands on workshop type, and all of them
will utilize our interactive audience participation system getting you even
more involved. A super cadre of faculty has been assembled who are experts
in Emergency Medicine and specialists in the areas being addressed. I
cannot tell you how excited I am about this conference. Top lectures, great
attendance, and an excellent deal.
We are expecting a boost in attendance since the New Hampshire Chapter of
the American College of Emergency Physicians (NH ACEP) is now
sponsoring their members to attend (if you are not a member and want to
check eligibility to join you can call Joy Potter at the business office 603-224-
1909). NH ACEP will be holding a dinner and business meeting following
the conference, and everyone is welcome to attend. There should also be
plenty of networking time to spend with your colleagues and to make new
friends. You will also have time to learn what is new in the pharmaceutical
industry from the companies supporting our conference.
The Managing Medical Emergencies series will, of course, continue with
the fall conference to be held November 9, 2006 in the Southern area of New
Hampshire (site still to be determined between Frisbie Memorial Hospital
and Concord Hospital). Mark your calendars now and join us there as well.
The New Hampshire Chapter of the American College of Emergency
Physicians’ Website, www.NHACEP.org, has the meeting schedule for the
next several years. Thanks to all of you, and your support, this conference
series remains a favorite with participants.
Please plan to join us for Managing Medical Emergencies. We look
forward to seeing you at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon,
New Hampshire, May 15, 2006. Don’t miss these lectures. They will
improve your practice.
