DAN® and the Undersea Hyperbaric Medical Society will conduct the 64th DAN Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Course Oct. 25-Nov. 1 on the island of Bonaire, Netherland Antilles.
This six-day course is designed primarily for physicians, emergency medical personnel, paramedics and nurses, but instructors, divemasters and other non-medical dive-related personnel might also find the course of value.
The course will provide the facts relevant to understanding the management of dive accidents, especially those bearing on the basic physics and physiology and the subsequent treatment methods. The event will allow DAN’s Preferred Provider Network and referral clinicians to update their knowledge and skills in medical management aspects and offer a forum for discussion of dive-related medical management problems.
