Clinical Decision Making in Emergency Medicine is a three-day symposium focused on providing a clinical update for the practicing clincian in emergency medicine. The LLSA review is designed to ensure passage of the LLSA by using an audience response system and the actual questions from the exam. The format for the conference is case-based with questions that highlight the main teaching point of the session, followed by a discussion of the main diagnostic and management issues related to the case, and ending with a focused discussion of the case's outcome.
Made possible by:
The Mount Sinai Medical Center • The University of Florida, Jacksonville • The Mayo Clinic College of Medicine • The Brigham and Women's Hospital • The Foundation for Education and Research in Neurologic Emergencies • Carolinas Medical Center
