This day is dedicated to providing focused education for our caregivers in relation to increasing complexity of patient populations combined with work force changes and capacity issues. This will blend traditional lectures by experts as well as hands on learning activities. There will be classroom and simulated education for trauma, neurological, basic EKG read/arrhythmia, critical labs, and respiratory for adult and pediatric patients. This will be a day of fellowship, learning and fun that attendees will be able to apply at the bedside.

1. Identify commonly missed or unrecognized injuries along with symptoms in critically ill adults and pediatrics.
2. Review rapid assessments for neurological emergencies and how to initiate treatment in adults
3. Discuss importance of immediate recognition and treatment of emergent pediatric illnesses
4. Demonstrate how to effectively and rapidly diagnose a potential life-threatening cardiac event in adults
5. Recognize and implement treatment with appropriate respiratory therapies and treatment for adults and pediatrics
6. Discuss how the understanding of professional roles contribute to teamwork through mutual respect and trust.
