This course is an absolute baseline for the clinician to have mastery of. There are fundamental key knowledge points that every clinician needs to know that, at times, had been missed in clinical education. This program fills in the gaps and ensures up-to-date clinical knowledge on the foundational principles’ mandatory for clinical practice.
Pharmacology
Radiology
EKG interpretation
Laboratory medicine
This curriculum will lay the foundation of clinical application of the medications we prescribe. We will discuss mechanisms of action, clinical indications, contraindications.
We will lay the foundation of clinical interpretation of EKGs in the setting of patient presentation. This is a methodical approach patterned after CME4Life’s famous curriculum, the Black Belt EKG system.
We will also provide a system of CXR interpretation. Laying the foundation of clinical interpretation of plain film radiographs in the setting of patient presentation.
John literally wrote the book on Lab Medicine called Elemental Medicine. John will lay out the groundwork for clinical laboratory interpretation in the setting of patient presentation.
* A light breakfast and lunch will be provided*

Fundamentals of Clinical EKG Interpretation
This curriculum will lay the foundation of clinical interpretation of EKGs in the setting of patient presentation. This is a methodical approach patterned after CME4Life’s famous curriculum, the Black Belt EKG system.

QUOTES FROM PAST ATTENDEES
I highly recommend this conference to anyone that is a visual learner. John did an exceptional job teaching medical concepts with meaningful visuals & mnemonics that are easy to remember & apply.- Virginia 
One word John, GREAT! I just finished your UC/ER CME conference in Las Vegas. Very well organized, fun, interactive and super informative. (I guess one word didn't sum it up) Your input on medical/legal issues was something I never got in school or though other CME and I think it is truly invaluable! Thanks again and maybe we'll see you up in the great Pacific Northwest!- Brent
One of my favorite conferences, very interactive and informative. John is a fantastic speaker!- Noodle
Love John's content and delivery. There truly is magic in the his teaching. He has a unique ability to simplify complex subjects and uses heuristics to help the adult learner store and recall the information.- Ed
