Rural Rounds: Managing Hypothermia in the Rural Setting
December 12 @ 7:45 am - 9:00 am
Rural Rounds provides rural healthcare providers with up-to-date and relevant medical education through interactive Zoom presentations. If you practice or support rural communities in British Columbia, you are encouraged to join these engaging sessions!
*NEW* Join the Zoom session early! Grab your coffee and log in at 7:45 a.m. (PT) to connect with your fellow rural healthcare colleagues. This is a great opportunity to introduce yourself, chat, and build community before we begin. The session will officially start at 8:00 a.m., and joining early for social time with colleagues is completely optional!
