chevy Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I am just finishing my didactic component for my ALS program This is followed by a number of days in the local ERs, a week in the OR for intubation hands-on and 400 hrs on-the-road as third-man jumping ALS calls. All good stuff, but my home area doesn't see very much trauma, especially GSWs (although that is changing, hence the need to get ahead of the game) and I feel that I need some extra time practicing my new skills in this area. Does anyone know an ER in a major city that would take me in for a few training days so I can increase my chances of working cases that come around infrequently on my home turf? If so, do you have a contact that I could follow up with? Willing to travel just about anywhere in the Jan-April timeframe. Many thx..
Dustdevil Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 You're in luck. If you enlist tomorrow, I'm sure the CAF can have you up-trained and in Afghanistan by April. Go big or go home. Good luck!
WolfmanHarris Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 What about your base-hospital? I know Sunnybrook-Osler does clinical shadowing as part of their ACP's CEU options. If your Base Hospital doesn't they might be able to set something up through the OBHG. Sunnybrook-Osler CE Catalogue
