In addition, EMA physicians such as Bruce Bonanno, MD, FACEP; Dennis Cochrane, MD, FACEP and Sol Nevins, MD, FACEP lectured on key topics including “Media Training for the ED & Acute Care Physician,” “Dermatological Puzzles in the ED,” and “Emergency Electrocardiography in Acute Care Medicine.” Featured Two-Day Courses Included the Following: The Society of Critical Care Medicine’s Fundamental Critical Care Support Course (FCCS), included David Schreck, MD, FACEP as the Course Director and Edgar Jiminez, MD, FCCM, former Past-President of the FCCS. Instructors for this course included Elaine Barry, NP; William Dalsey, MD, FACEP; John Fontanetta, MD, FACEP; Scott Larsen, MD, FACEP; Ian Leber, MD, FACEP; Ivan Miller, MD, FACEP; Joseph Testa, MD, FACEP.

This four (4) hour course designed and run by Mark Merlin, DO, FACEP and Richard Shih, MD FACEP, provided participants with a comprehensive evidence-based review of the articles pertaining to the 2004 test. Look for both the 2004 and 2005 LLSA Review Course to be run at next year’s conference.

The featured Keynote lecturer was none other than John Brennan, MD, FACEP, National ACEP Board Member and Vice President of the Department of Emergency Medicine for the Saint Barnabas Health Care System. If you’re wondering if you should make plans for this “must attend” conference in 2005, listen to what William Dalsey, Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Kimball Medical Said about this year’s conference: “The Advanced Emergency Medicine Conference provides one of, if not “the” best values in continuing medical education today for ED physicians, Associate Practitioners and nurses. With national-caliber lecturers, a great selection of courses and a content-rich general session, you can’t beat the educational value of this conference. The Borgata’s commitment to customer service excellence and their state-of-the-art conference center only compliments this conference.” The 2005 Advanced Emergency Medicine Conference will take place from September 9, 2005-September 14, 2005.
