EMIG 2016 Review
July saw two renditions of our skills workshop – Clinical Skills for Emergency Medicine
June saw a one off well attended toxicology workshop
Thanks to A/Prof Gunja for organising this session:
May 10th and 11th 2016 saw 2 installments of the “Pre-hospital and Retrieval Medicine” Workshop with Dr Harrison, Dr Cheesman and Senior Paramedic Brian Parcell.
April the 27th saw our medical students present “Not so Grand Rounds” an alternative to the grand rounds proper with an Emergency Medicine Spin
March 2016 brought us the first Emergency Medicine Interest Group (EMIG) workshop of the year. The first session was on inflight emergencies.
