Whether March is in like a lion and out like a lamb, or in like a lamb and out like a lion, Spring is just around the corner, which means WMSHP 35th Annual Spring Seminar. This year, past-president Jaci DeYoung is feverishly working to confirm speakers for the seminar. The seminar this year is May 6th at the Hilton Grand Rapids Airport. It will include a general session with a presentation on Emergency Medicine, and a review of the new community acquired pneumonia guidelines. The afternoon will offer three tracks to select from with three presentations within each. The tracks are categorized into technician, critical care and ambulatory care. The technician track will include presentations on vaccines, law review and math review. Ambulatory care track will include discussions on Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular and anticoagulation updates. The final track, critical care, will include presentations on proton pump inhibitors, prevention of venous thromboembolism and nutrition support in the critically ill. So mark your calendars for May 6th. I hope to see you there!
