My hospital pays for me to go to one conference a year (within reason)- I have done the typical big pharmacy conferences (obviously I am a Rph) - since I work predominately in the ED - interested in a ED specific conference - are there any good multi-disciplinary emergency medicine conferences? Bonus points for being somewhere fun to go?
 
As a pharmacist I've had a good time at ACEP - it's not cutting edge science, but at least you can see how ideas were presented to your physicians. Every October they come home with a bunch of ideas to try out based on someone else's assessment of the literature, so it gives you a head start on what's reasonable and what may not be.

I've gone to SMACC the last 2 years. I've found that to be the most entertaining and definitely high yield. (And rumored in South America in 2019?)

And obviously NACCT. Because tox.

thanks

SMACC in berlin would be awesome - although no way work is paying for that

might have to check out the other two ACEP won't work in October - the NACCT - but it is in Chicago next year - would rather go somewhere I haven't been a hundred times (I used to live in Illinois)

You have? So have I. Since it's a smaller conference, there's always a chance we crossed paths.
I'll be in Berlin also.
 
Also SCCM. Can get a little basic science heavy, but it's a great conference and occasionally in fun places like Hawaii and puerto rico.

It's quite possible!

I registered for Berlin but then started a new job and can't get the time off. So if you know anyone who wants registration or a hotel reservation at the Crowne Plaza Potsdamer Platz please send them my way!
