The Illinois College of Emergency Physicians’ Spring Symposium is the premier annual event for members, nonmember physicians, EM residents, and medical students. The event provides clinical education that focuses on the emerging effects of legalized drugs of recreation in 2020.
On the 2020 agenda:
- The impact on legalized recreational cannabis in Illinois, presented by Trevonne M. Thompson, MD, FACEP, FACMT, will explore clinical implications of recreational cannabis use in emergency department patients, including physical and psychological manifestations, legality, and clinical care experiences in Colorado and Illinois.
- E-cigarette and vaping-associated lung injury presented by Dan McCabe, MD, will illustrate the rising incidences of EVALI, discussing how patients with vague respiratory symptoms without an obvious etiology should be questioned about electronic cigarette and vaping use. This session will also demonstrate how to explain appropriate return precautions and counsel all patients about the acute and chronic effects of these products.
- Update on ED boarding presented by Ernest Wang, MD, FACEP, to address the hot topic ranked by members as one of their top priorities in Illinois. This session will focus on ICEP initiatives as well as an update on other key Chapter activities.
- Product showcase on mask-free noninvasive ventilation for patients in respiratory distress, presented with support of Vapotherm
- Online collection of research posters and oral presentations
