CME - FAQs

Yes, this conference is pending approval with both ACEM and ACRRM for CPD points

FLTR:ED is targeted to doctors, nurses, paramedics and students that work in Emergency Medicine, Trauma and Critical Care as well as those working in the Pre-Hospital and Retrieval space. We aim discuss the key concepts that underpin resuscitation and trauma care so that these lessons can be applied to your own clinical setting. Additionally we aim to deliver evidence based updates on a number of specialist topics from outside the critical care space in order to broaden the evidence based practice of all clinicians.
