Kimberly Paterson Lang, M.D. was a beloved and respected General Internist at Crozer-Chester Medical Center for 15 years. Since her death from cancer more than 12 years ago, Crozer has hosted this Continuing Education Conference in her memory on a theme deemed to be an important medical topic of the time.
This year marks the 23rd Annual Trauma & Critical Care Symposium. The CCMC trauma program has noted that patients with penetrating trauma have doubled over the last 10 years. This symposium will address the role of mental health and addiction in trauma and focus on bridging knowledge deficits and providing education to reduce the long terms effects of these day-to-day stresses and the potential effect of a disaster event. The national Stop the Bleed training program, with hands-on learning, will be presented to give attendees specific measures that they can take to prevent death from hemorrhage

Brought to you by the respected cardiovascular team of Crozer-Keystone Health System, this comprehensive continuing medical education features presentations on a range of topics related to caring for patients with cardiovascular conditions.
Delivery of high-quality cardiovascular care requires awareness of current evidence-based guidelines, recognizing the appropriateness of various diagnostic options, and identifying multiple pharmacologic, catheter-based, and surgical treatment options across a wide spectrum of disease processes. The goal of this symposium is to address gaps that now exist between current practice patterns and best practices in the provision of cardiovascular care.
