Baltimore, MD US
March 17, 2018
Click Here to view The 2019 Symposium on Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine
This course offers a comprehensive update, review and future practice of hyperbaric medicine, including oxygen physiology, and the physics and mechanisms-of-action for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Lectures include a review of the primary clinical indications for treatment, management of the patient undergoing hyperbaric therapy, and the future of HBOT. While focused on the basics of HBOT, this course is also an excellent educational opportunity for all health care professionals who want to expand their knowledge of HBOT.
There will be a continental breakfast, coffee, tea and water will be available all day, and a buffet lunch and snacks for the afternoon break. Please send an email to Jesse Birndorf if you have any dietary restrictions. [email protected]
