Free videos and podcasts from "All LA Conference"

I recently discovered a little gem of a website, which houses video and podcast recordings of joint conferences by the Los Angeles EM residency programs since 2007.

http://AllLAconference.com/

The conferences feature some real star lecturers on the EM circuit including Dr. Diane Birmbaumer (Harbor-UCLA), Dr. Stu Swadron (USC), and Dr. Jerry Hoffman (Olive View-UCLA), amongst others. They cover quite a few pediatric subjects. Topics include:

2009

CNS Infections
Pediatric Trauma Panel
Neonatal Emergencies
Sickle Cell Disease in Children
Swine Flu Update
Pediatric Panel on Seizures, C-Spine Injuries, ALTE
Head Trauma Therapy
Revising the NINDS Trial
Pediatric C-Spine Injuries
Trauma Panel

2008

Pediatric Panel
Lethargic Child
Overcrowding in the Emergency Department
Bedside Teaching
CT in ACS
Senior Faculty Panel
Cyanosis Cases
MRSA – Are We All Gonna Die?

2007

Brain Natriuretic Peptide
Congenital Heart Defects
A Case of Meningitis
Faculty Panel Discussion
Hypothermia in Cardiac Arrest
Hyperkalemia

The website also allows you to download the videos in Quicktime format and in audio podcast format. The conference lectures seem to be uploading about three times yearly. I applaud the LA group in letting others share in their collaborative, joint-conference efforts.
