Resuscitation for Emergency Physicians (REP) is the first integrated resuscitation course developed by an emergency medicine professional society that is tailored to the needs of emergency physicians (EPs). REP encompasses a broad spectrum of topics and provides you with the knowledge and skillsets to expertly resuscitate conditions such as cardiac arrest, shock, respiratory failure, and life-threatening critical care disorders. EPs who want to take a single resuscitation course taught at an advanced level (rather than taking ACLS, PALS and ATLS) will find REP to be an outstanding experience. Quite simply, this course will help you save lives!

Emergency physicians provide life-saving resuscitation during the golden hour and far beyond. The Uniformed Services Chapter Division is proud to present Battlefield Boarding: Military Medicine’s Approach to Prolonged Casualty Care. As the nature of international conflict evolves, military emergency physicians are tasked with caring for patients far after the initial resuscitation while awaiting delayed medevac. Guided by military doctrine, experience, and evidence-based guidelines, our faculty will help you be ready to apply your emergency medicine skills to care for patients from initial stabilization through prolonged resuscitation. The course will include skill stations on whole blood transfusion, burn care, and simulation-based cases.

Early critical interventions are essential in the Emergency Department, especially if you work in primary treatment centers and rural Emergency Departments. This course is designed to prepare third- and fourth-year medical students and EM interns to provide critical care to ICU-bound patients who are transitioning to a higher-level of care. Our goal is to ensure you are equipped to provide consistent, evidence-based care with the most up-to-date and relevant knowledge applicable to these fields.

Precipitous deliveries are one of the most stressful events an emergency physician will encounter. Fortunately, most deliveries will be normal, uncomplicated vaginal deliveries, but what if it’s not? Complications such as shoulder dystocia and breech presentation have the potential to be true catastrophes for the patient, the baby, and the physician. In this session the speaker will review the management of normal vaginal delivery, nuchal cord, breech presentation, and shoulder dystocia so you are ready the next time there is a baby coming in your ED!
