The 2025 Rural Emergency Medicine Course will be held May 21-23, 2025 and will feature exciting lectures and interactive breakout sessions.
This course is designed for physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners, but all who are interested are welcome. The course will review low-frequency, high-risk emergencies and provide practice for lifesaving procedures in a realistic, controlled environment. Our highly relevant and informative core sessions are updated yearly by board-certified emergency medicine physicians. This year's event will include small group sessions, high-fidelity simulations, ultrasound training, and procedure skills stations. We also plan to incorporate lightly embalmed cadavers into some of the procedure stations; however, due to a limited supply this year, we may need to use alternative hands-on training methods if cadavers are unavailable.
Procedure training this year includes: chest tube insertion, cricothyrotomies, ultrasound IV insertion, intraosseous infusion insertion, umbilical catheter insertion, splinting, and domestic violence recognition and treatment. Lectures will be given by board-certified physicians in a multitude of specialties including: emergency medicine, pediatric emergency medicine, ophthalmology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, OB/GYN, critical care medicine, trauma surgery and dermatology.
Our objectives for this course are as follows:
- Demonstrate basic and difficult airway management.
- Demonstrate ability to manage medical and pediatric resuscitation.
- Analyze emergency medical scenarios expected in a rural environment.
- Discuss differences between adult and pediatric emergency medical presentations and treatment.
- Demonstrate the ability to perform lesser-used, but lifesaving, procedures that are sometimes needed in the emergency department.
In support of improving pateint care, University of Nebraska Medical Center is joinly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
