Show notes

Episode 108 Cyndee and Julia teach Airway

Interview starts at 4:15

This is an episode for every clinician and every mother and father EVER!

Returning for the THIRD TIME Cyndee Johnson! She brought with her a special guest Julia Worrall RN, CCRN! Julia works in the emergency department in critical care. She is a craniofacial and airway expert. Julia explains how dental is leading the charge in airway education in many ways!

In spite of that effort, less than 5% of dentists are addressing airway issues.

What should we be looking for and how do we look for those things.

Once you see it and know it - you can't unsee it and unknow it!

You think your CE is expensive? Listen to how much Julia spends on her certificates each year!

107 WREB Psychometricians are cool, we promise!! - With Sharon Osborn Popp Ph.D! Feb 16, 2018

Show notes

We know the title sounds boring, but this is one of those episodes where, when we retire and look back on our lives, we will know we did right by so many people because of this episode. Its that good. Thank you to our guest co-host (again!!) Sarah Thiel from CE Zoom for all the amazing input and comments. She has a unique perspective that Sharon played off of well!

Interview starts at minute 15

Look, we could give you some amazing show notes here, but it really wouldn't do it justice. Sharon is awesome, the interview is awesome and she really makes stats fun and interesting. Its really important to learn how board exams work and take your biases out of the equation when it comes to talking about regional testing agencies.
