Expand Your Learning Through Non-CME Expert Theaters
Between-session presentations feature timely topics in emergency medicine.
There’s even more education than meets the eye at this year’s ACEP21 Scientific Assembly. In addition to a comprehensive list of education sessions that provide attendees with best practice and cutting-edge science, ACEP21 will host an array of non-CME presentations for expanded learning. Expert Theaters are offered for both in-person and at-home attendees. The in-person sessions will take place in the exhibit hall, and the at-home presentations will be hosted on the conference virtual platform.
Expert Theaters offer a peek into the products and services that provide value to physician practice and aid in patient care. Topics of interest cover a wide spectrum of emergency medicine cases during the three days of sessions. For example, one in-person session will evaluate traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the emergence of promising biomarkers, UCH-L1 and GFAP, while a virtual session will spotlight acute agitation associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.
Expert Theaters also will tackle timely topics, such as managing the coagulopathy of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. One of the severe complications of COVID-19 is thromboembolism, which results from an increased coagulopathy and contributes to mortality for those hospitalized with acute and/or critical COVID-19 illness. This in-person, Expert Theater presentation will provide an update on the published international and U.S. guidance as well as the latest evidence on the use of thromboprophylaxis in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Another in-person, COVID-related presentation will examine appropriate patients for neutralizing monoclonal antibodies in the management of COVID-19 before hospitalization.
Each in-person Expert Theater is limited to 125 attendees and will include food and beverages. Presentations are scheduled to take place during conference breaks to avoid interfering with CME sessions.
