CME procedural courses useful for ER locums

[doctor1963]

Good day! I have been doing ER locums for the past 3 years, at first intermittently, but I am now doing it more consistently. I thought it would be helpful to find out what current CME courses were a good investment of your time and money? I know because of COVID, a lot of classes are cancelled but I am hopeful classes will be offered again soon. I liked the difficult airway course, I did the virtual version. I would like to do the in person version of it so I can get more intubation practice. I also have done EM Bootcamp virtually but was wondering if their in person workshops are worth it? Any other procedural CME courses that you liked? I thank you in advance. 😀

If you're interested in generating an effective approach to airway management the difficult airway course is your best bet. It is a bit expensive, but entirely worth it if you plan to continue working in an emergency department setting.

The Emergency Ultrasound course
Adv Burn Life support ABLS
Adv Life Support in Obstetrics ALSO (you probably took this in residency)
Fundamental critical care support (lots of vent management) FCCS
APLS Adv Peds life support (much better than PALS)

The full in-person difficult airway course is excellent
