Conference suggestions?

Jules A, MSN · Jan 23, 2017

I can't recommend a conference for you but would suggest you consider conferences geared toward MDs in your specialty. I have found them to be more comprehensive than the nursing conferences and I've made good professional contacts.

i ask physicians in my practice for suggestions on conferences and usually try to pick one related to my field and since my employer is extremely generous with CME I also pick one where I want to go. You would be surprised how many conferences are in Hawaii, conference cruises and skiing conferences. If I do not use the money it goes aloha! LOL

I am a big fan of SCCM's annual conference. There's a large variety of topics presented over the 3.5 days. I've gone twice so far and enjoyed it both years. It is held in January or February each year (was just held in Hawaii a few weeks ago). So it won't be of help for using CME this year, but next year it is in February in San Antonio. I recommend it for any Acute Care NPs looking for a good conference!

SCCM? Thanks for the info...

Oops! Sorry! SCCM = Society of Critical Care Medicine.

Also- you don't have to be a member to attend the conference, but membership gives a great journal each month.
