28th Annual High Risk Emergency Medicine Course | CEME

Unless they're talking about High Risk EM San Francisco or Hawaii, which are great too (only been to SF but it can't be worse in Hawaii).

I went to High Risk Hawaii several years ago, which was very well done.

Half price for USACS docs. I already don't want to go.

Maybe they need it more than other docs. (One part time guy that works with us works F/T for USACS - I call him "the walking lawsuit".)

CEME is a CME company started by USACS/EMP. They are not upfront about the association. In case you had any doubts...

Their address is:
Center for Emergency Medical Education
4535 Dressler Rd. NW
Canton, OH 44718

USACS address is:
US Acute Care Solutions
4535 Dressler Rd NW
Canton, OH 44718

When I started for EMP they used the CEME kind of like a company script. Required you to attend several lectures/conferences using your own BEA funds or out of pocket if you were out of BEA funds.

Anyone take both of them? I can't afford to attend both. which one should I go to?

There is a lot of hate for USACS on this board, and I'd argue that much of it is justified. The very short version is that USACS is a CMG which has very predatory practices about absorbing semi democratic physician groups across the country and then paying their doctors significantly less than they should be making. An entire emergency medicine residency in Ohio was just shut down because of a shady deal where USACS bought the ED contact from the hospital (where the head of USACS's wife was a board member but they vehemently deny she had any role is getting the takeover passed) and replaced all the doctors currently working there. It was and still is a cluster****.

If it's owned by USACS, I recommend attending neither.

The High Risk EM conference in SF and Hawaii is run by UCSF Emergency Medicine, along with Amal Mattu from Maryland and a few other non-UC folks. I think there were some Highland faculty there last year, but I can't remember specifically. Not affiliated with USACS.
