In the US, trauma is the leading cause of death in young adults and accounts for 10% of all deaths among men and women(1). The modern approach to trauma management consists of a complex tree of decisions. From on-scene resuscitation, through emergency department triage and diagnostics, to operating room procedures and strategy, clinicians make a rapid sequence of crucial choices to secure the best chance of survival for their patients. As a Level II Trauma Center, Edward-Elmhurst Health must per...

One person dies every 34 seconds in the US from cardiovascular disease. Heart disease costs the US about $229 billion each year. In DuPage County alone, the average estimated total cardiovascular disease death rate was 348 per 100,000 cases in 2020. Cases are discussed in-depth and critically analyzed. All relevant history, physical exam, and non-invasive studies are used to identify correctible deficiencies in provider practices, system failures, and patient behaviors to improve patient outcome...

Approximately 39.5% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes. By 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million and the number of cancer-related deaths to 16.4 million. This conference reviews specific lung cancer cases to determine best practices, clinical approaches, and appropriate epidemiology for optimal patient outcomes. The cases present disciplinary problem(s) for which learners devise solutions under facilitat...
