As an alumnus of that programme, I very highly and unequivocally recommend it.

It is run by a very dear friend of mine, and is truly among the very best

educational opportunities I've experienced in my entire career. The learning

potential is endless. We're talking about an opportunity to learn and practise

critical medical procedures on real human bodies, not just mannequins. We're

talking a better anatomy education than you'll get out of any course outside of

a medical school. You may never do a cric, a dart, or a field amputation on the

job in your career. Most don't. But wouldn't it be nice if, the first time you

did wasn't the first time you actually practised it? And Hell, at $35 bones,

you can fly Southwest up there, stay in a cheap hotel, and still get out

relatively cheap. The only caveat is that, if you've spent your entire life in

Texas, you may not want to make your first visit to Ohio in December.

Last year, we had people come in from Los Angeles, Toronto, North Carolina,

Rhode Island, and Texas, as well as the local contingent. There's plenty of

room, so definitely give it some serious thought.

Sounds very similar to what we used to do for SLAM

EMS Cadaver Anatomy Procedure (C.A.P.) Lab

The Department of Emergency Medicine has offered Cadaver Anatomy Procedure

(C.A.P.) Labs at State University once a year since 2006. The next

labs will be held December 9 and 10, 2009. Check back to this site in

mid-October to register online.

These one-day seminars are designed for emergency medical services personnel

who want to learn more about human anatomy and basic and advanced procedures

used in EMS. Participants receive hands-on experience, have the chance to

handle specimens and gain a detailed working knowledge of the human body.

This is achieved through intense training led by emergency medicine faculty

and residents. The cost is $35 per person.

During the day-long program, participants rotate through multiple teaching

stations with small group, hands-on instruction. They also have the

opportunity to perform or observe many different procedures including, but

not limited to, the following:

Oral and Nasal Intubations and advanced airway techniques (Airtraq, Gum

bougie, Combitube, Easytube, King LTSD, Cobra PLA etc.)

Cricothyroidotomy - Surgical and Percutaneous (Pertrach, quicktrach,

Nutrach, etc.)

Needle Chest Decompression

Tube Thorocostomy

Pericardiocentesis

Central Venous Access

Intraosseous Access (EZ-IO, B.I.G. IO, etc.)

And many more...

Continuing Education Credits are provided by the National Center For Medical

Readiness to all participants who complete the course. Six contact hours

(three geriatric, one pediatric, one cardiac, and one trauma) may be

awarded.

Sounds like something I would really like to do. Thanks for this info Rob.

I haven't looked at the conference schedule this year, but I attended one in Ft

Worth that was excellent as well.

 

For those that have never attended a good cadaver lab, you don't know what you

are missing.
