MARCH 9-13, 2019 • CAESARS PALACE • LAS VEGAS, NV
Formerly known as the PK Talks
In 2014, the AAEM Scientific Assembly introduced the Pecha Kucha (PK) sessions: an innovative, fast-paced series of lectures that was the first of its kind at a major emergency medicine conference, and is now an annual attendee favorite.
Same exciting talks – new updated name!
For 2019, we are excited to announce that these sessions are getting a makeover, with a new name that fully captures the spirit of these sessions: Breve Dulce, which is derived from breve et dulce – Latin for “short and sweet.”
What is Breve Dulce?
These rapid-fire talks will cover a variety of important topics. The Breve format is a succinct, high-level overview in less than seven minutes (short) of EM pearls that you can immediately put to use in your everyday practice (sweet).
Plan to catch the nearly three-dozen Breve Dulce talks at AAEM19 to round out your educational experience!
