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.
