This is an austere (meaning resource poor, limited communications, get you hands dirty, and do things that are outside your comfort zone) medical weekend. All medicine is going to be done in a “Start to Finish” methodology meaning beginners to professional providers are welcome and will be able to get something out of this. We are also trying to limit lectures and maximizing hands on education as much as possible.
