Description

Mistakes can be dangerous. Accurate identification of pesticides responsible for a patient’s illness is important to avoid errors with respect to acute treatment. Join us for an accredited CME/CNE training that will focus on key decision points in the diagnosis of pesticide exposures and emphasize the usefulness of the newly revised resource for clinicians - Recognition and Management of Pesticide Poisonings, 6th ed. Through interactive case studies, this training will illustrate effective recognition and treatment of patients over exposed to pesticides. All participants will receive a copy of the Recognition and Management of Pesticide Poisonings, 6th ed.
