LECTURE COURSE LEVELS DESIGNATED: This year the core lecture program topic modules will be designated by General, Advanced and Specialist. This has been added so that registrants can better select the courses that most closely fit their level of interest, experience and training. There also is one lecture series designated Fundamentals which is targeted to those practitioners just starting in emergency & critical care or those that would like some review of various topics.
