Emergency Medicine/Critical Care Medicine Conference
August 20, 2008, marked the beginning of the first monthly joint conference with the Emergency Medicine department and is indicative of the ongoing evolution and cross-bridging between these two specialties. This conference is the brainchild of Dr. Tsuyoshi Mitarai (Stanford CCM fellow 2006-08). That year (2008) was also significant as we for the first time had 3 EM-trained fellows, two double-boarded (EM-Med, EM-Anes), as well as our first EM-only trained fellow.
When: third Wednesday of the month
Where: Neurology Conference Rm H3150
Time 10:30 am - 11:30 am
