Course Description

The 48th Annual USC Weil Symposium on Critical Care  and Emergency Medicine will address many of the challenges faced by healthcare professionals who care for critically ill and injured patients, and is designed to review state-of-the-art information about the diagnosis and management of these patients. The target audience includes critical care specialists, emergency physicians, hospitalists, internists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, anesthesiologists, nephrologists, traumatologists, general surgeons, and primary care providers who care for critically ill patients. The program provides an ideal mix of traditional standard-of-care principles based on established guidelines with cuttingedge, forward-moving practices. Didactic lectures on current management are featured in the Plenary Sessions. The “Update 2010” series of lectures highlights the most important advances. Practical skills are taught in half-day hands-on workshops, which will bridge the gap between journals/textbooks and the bedside by providing didactic presentations along with hands-on experience.

This conference was the first and continues as the oldest course on Critical Care Medicine. The program offers the opportunity to fill important gaps in the multispecialty and broad-based areas of critical care and emergency medicine, help to drive new guidelines into practice, and result in changes throughout the continuum of patient care.
