Course Description:
You recently were or soon will be diagnosed with a new condition -- DOCTOR!
The transition from NOT doctor to THE doctor is a scary one. You don't know it yet, but you already know a lot and are ready to do this.
You have the knowledge and many of the skills. Transforming that competence into confidence is the next big step in your journey.
"Getting Thru the Night" -Part II - a CE course offered FREE to New Graduates is now open for enrollment!
The VIN Foundation (a nonprofit foundation you will be hearing a lot more about) is committed to helping you (and all new graduates) feel supported as you journey into and through your profession. As a new grad, the VIN Foundation is covering your enrollment fee.
There will be minimal emphasis on pathophysiology and a strong emphasis on diagnostic testing, client management, time management and therapy for various common emergencies. Common mistakes will be highlighted so YOU don't make them and common pitfalls will be mentioned so YOU can avoid them.
Many revelations will be made and many long-held beliefs will be shattered. This will be a whirlwind magical tour through the whimsical world of blood and guts ER stuff! Wear your running shoes! This is the opposite of the Ivory Tower.
This course consists of two (2) 2 hour Real Time Sessions; library materials; interactive message board discussions; and an end of course quiz designed to enhance course effectiveness and material retention. The instructors will be using a combination of audio and text lecture during the real time sessions.
Upon completion of this course, you should:
