HOSTS WANTED FOR REFRESHER COURSE

Every year one or more Refresher Courses are organised by hosting organisations for Young Emergency Medicine Doctors (<35).

Last year we had a "update in toxicology"-course in Brussels and a "Resuscitation in the ED"-course in Florence.

Have a look at the video to get an impression of the set up. It's not only a very responsible task, considering the educational value, it is also a lot of fun!
