Ready to take your urgent care and emergency skills to the next level? Invest in your training!
Join CME4Life for an advanced, case-driven urgent care and emergency medicine symposium built for experienced PAs and NPs. Four focused mornings cover the high-risk complaints that walk through your door, with the evidence-based updates and decision-making you need to handle them with confidence.
John Bielinski, PA-C, guides you through real-world scenarios that sharpen your critical thinking: when to escalate, what not to miss, and how to protect yourself and your patients. You’ll get the thinking protocols and mnemonics CME4Life is known for, plus medical malpractice defense and medical error reduction.
You’ll network with other PAs and NPs and leave with practical, actionable insights you can apply on your very next shift.
