Event Description
The practice and delivery of health care is changing with an emphasis on improving quality, safety, efficiency and access to care. Telemedicine can help you achieve these goals! The Arizona Telemedicine Program and Southwest Telehealth Resource Center invite you to a free one-hour CME webinar on the implementation and practice of telemedicine.
Envenomations, intoxications and travel-related diseases: More common than you think! What to do
Join us again in our series on envenomations, intoxications and bites in the Southwest. This session will be about scorpions, and not the rock band type! These critters are not insects, but are arachnids and are very common here in our desert environment. As an opportunistic predator, they can pack a painful punch!
This webinar is made possible through funding provided by Health Resources and Services Administration, Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (U1U42527).
