Memorial Healthcare System & UPMC Procirca Winter Adult ECMO Academy
Memorial Healthcare System and UPMC Procirca are excited to announce an Adult ECMO Training Course. The course will be held in person at the Memorial Regional Hospital Conference Center on February, 6 and 7, 2024.
This comprehensive two-day course is designed for the bedside ECMO caregiver including physicians, physician assistants, perfusionists, nurses, nurse practitioners, ECMO specialists, and respiratory therapists. The Memorial Healthcare System and UPMC Procirca Winter Adult ECMO Academy will combine didactic lecture access you can complete at your own pace, prior to the course, with high-fidelity simulation training to provide a well-rounded look at the care of the adult ECMO patient. The ELSO Foundations Adult access will give attendees a solid base in which to start or grow their ECMO programs at their home institutions. The learner will be able to troubleshoot ECMO scenarios along with learning cannulation techniques with the high-fidelity portion of the course.
