WHAT IS PONS?
The Pharmacotherapy of Neurocritial Care Series (PONS) is a curriculum based eLearning series comprised of various neuropharmacotherapy topics presented by experts in the field of neurocritical care. PONS presentations are 30-60 minute webinar recordings that can be viewed at your own pace. Presentations can be purchased individually or bundled as a package. Each session includes a library of annotated references used during the presentation.
AUDIENCE
PONS can be used as a review for healthcare professionals, to facilitate topic discussions among trainees, or as a group educational lecture series. PONS targets a wide range of disciplines including physicians, nurses, pharmacists and more. This series benefits individuals practicing in all medical disciplines, particularly those who want to further their neuropharmacotherapy knowledge. It is also an innovative tool to help educate trainees.
