ADVANCED THERAPEUTIC NURSING TRACK WITH HANDS-ON TRAINING

Due to the rise of innovative procedures, Endoscopy Units require regular introduction and practice to new therapeutic and diagnostic equipment and supplies. Maintaining competencies with new technologies can be challenging for the entire unit. The HITEC Nursing Track will enable registrants to develop and maintain competency in the ever-changing field of endoscopy and will illustrate an array of emerging therapeutic endoscopic procedures. Registration details and the full nursing track agenda are available online.
