The notice says for the public. Are the classes for ER docs any docs or lay people? What are the ages? thanks
The course is intended to introduce a lay person audience to the rigorous science behind the practice of Emergency Medicine. The course is not accredited but you can expect the level of quality presented at a continuing medical education course. We encourage all ages to attend, however, this course is best-suited for teens and up.
