I'm excited about teaching a two-day @ifem_org course in Abu Dhabi that will cover both clinical care of older ED patients AND improving your ED systems. February 9-10. Great international faculty. See you there! maarefahmgt.zohobackstage.co…
Great leadership @prof_idzwan that EUSEM course is excellent. And easily transported to new settings thanks to the generosity of the EUSEM GEM group.
A great day at our #geriatricemergencymedicine workshop. An acknowledgment to my friends in GEM SIG IFEM @RosaMcNamara Prof @geri_EM Don Melady and EUSEM GEM for all the training materials and guidance
