An important part of our EMS Congress is our WORKSHOPS. Workshops are interactive learning sessions with hands-on, skills training or discussions of cases or dilemma. These sessions are usually 1 hour and 15 minutes. Number of participants are limited to typically 30-50 attendees to encourage engagement and interactivity. Each workshop has a specific theme and will be organized and lead by experts and members of our faculty.
For our new workshop format please see EMS LABS.
