Conference Material

Sample Conference Materials

The Critical Care website is updated weekly with new presentations and lectures from fellows and residents. Because the morbidity and mortality conferences and the ethics cases contain sensitive patient information and because some of our lectures have been copyrighted by the authors, we cannot disclose all of the presentations and lectures to those outside of Duke University.

This ?sample? page includes materials from sections of the website that are restricted to Duke University Medical Center faculty and staff.
