What is APX?

The APX Clinician Summit is an annual event designed for critical care transport and pre-hospital clinicians. The summit includes a morning lecture series, followed by lunch, and an afternoon of hands-on skills stations focused on critical care and pre-hospital procedures. Participants will have the opportunity to practice techniques such as chest tube insertion, SALAD intubation, and point-of-care ultrasound.

A cadaver lab offers advanced skill training, including chest tubes, intubations, lateral canthotomies, leg amputations, and pericardiocentesis. Exciting new additions will be announced, with plans for future events to feature fly-ins from local trauma teams, such as UNC, and collaborations with critical care and flight teams from various agencies.
