Here's how it works. Purchase the original DVD teaching program then order as many DVD CME Packs as needed at a significantly reduced price. It really is that simple!

Educational Symposia's innovative DVD CME Packs allow each participating physician to own his/her set of DVDs. Having their own set provides the opportunity to view at their convenience and add to their personal reference library. DVD CME Packs are priced to make it a practical alternative to "waiting in line" to receive the next DVD.

Each DVD CME Pack contains: 

• An entire set of DVDs in a convenient case designed for durability and ease of access  
• One CME application and test
• A one or two volume syllabus (depending on the series). Syllabus is included in the purchase price but is not enclosed in the DVD CME case.

See order form to order a DVD CME Pack for this series. To order a DVD CME Pack for a previously purchased DVD teaching program, visit us online at www.edusymp.com, call toll free (800) 338-5901.

This video/DVD is structured to provide clinically relevant information for those physicians who provide radiology services in emergency rooms, intensive care units and other emergency care locations. Tips, techniques and protocols are emphasized so that studies can be performed and interpreted in an optimal and time efficient manner. A clinical focus is stressed so that patients can benefit from these procedures. Faculty have been selected for their teaching ability, as well as for their expertise.

This video/DVD CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate those physicians who supervise and/or interpret radiology studies/procedures in emergency rooms, trauma centers, and intensive care units. Thus, it should be particularly helpful for radiologists and emergency medicine physicians. It should also be beneficial for those who order imaging studies and wish to better understand current applications.

At the completion of this video/DVD CME series, subscribers should be able to:

• Discuss approaches to imaging the most frequent and serious emergency problems that occur in their practice
• Understand how best to respond to the wide variety of imaging and interventional situations that occur during the evening and weekends
• Implement into their practices protocols for assessing the trauma patient in a time efficient manner
• Discuss malpractice issues in emergency and critical care radiology

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
