“The minutes matter.”

This incredibly important and informative course, presented by Dr. Steve Yun, MD, anesthesiologist, and medical consultant for DOCS Education, will address the most common medical events that may occur in the dental office, as well as the recommended emergency responses for each.

Dr. Yun will also outline the appropriate delegation of roles for the doctor and team members that will make the minutes count in emergency scenarios, such as administering epinephrin, using an AED, or reviving a pediatric patient.
