High Risk Emergencies : Assessment and Management

The High Risk Emergency course will concentrate on the recognition, workup and management of emergency presentations associated with the risk for serious illness. The course focuses on patients who are often triaged as category two or three (or even sometimes category four) where serious disease needs to be considered (or alternatively ruled out). The course explores "red flags" associated with a presentation that indicate an increased risk for serious disease and identifies the workup and emergency management of these patients.
