Conference on Marine and Travel Medicine

January 10 - 17, 2009

Bitter End Conference on Marine and Travel Medicine

In January, expert medical faculty are conducting a comprehensive seminar on the prevention and treatment of medical problems at sea. The conference is designed for physicians, nurses, health care professionals, and for mariners who simply want to increase their medical skills, self-reliance, and safety at sea.

The course will be accredited for 15 Category 1 CME credits. The lectures are scheduled each morning from 8:30 to 11:30 am and leave the rest of the day free to enjoy all the facilities of Bitter End. There are no lectures on Wednesday, allowing participants to take the full day Anegada Island excursion. The week’s lectures will be led by Dr. Michael Jacobs and Dr. Phil Rasori. View their profiles on the website: www.beyc.com.
