911 SAN FRANCISCO: BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN
HOME AND THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT (MLL08022)
Thursday evenings, May 8 – June 12,
from 7:00 to 8:45 p.m.
Medical Sciences Building, 513 Parnassus Ave.
With emergency department visits increasing every year, acute healthcare has come to
play a larger role in outpatient medical care. This course will overview questions about your
acute healthcare needs such as warning signs of a stroke or heart attack, what to watch
out for during your wilderness travels or if you are taking care of children, as well as agents
of bioterrorism and emerging infections that have been most recently covered in the media.
We will also discuss how these acute care needs are met through our emergency response
system and medical disaster relief.
