TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2010 — ISOMS REMINDER
Hello ISOMS Members:
Doug Miller and his excellent training team from ACES (Acute Care Education Systems) in Hoffman Estates are gearing up for our ACLS training program to be held on Saturday and Sunday, February 27 and 28 at Hamburger University, on the campus of the Hyatt Lodge Hotel in Oak Brook. We have about 75 registrants so far, which is great. If you are planning on attending, please let us know very soon. Click here to read the event flier posted here our web site.
We can email the study materials ACES provided, and you can purchase the Full Provider Manual for ACLS from WorldPoint ifyou need it. Call 888-322-8350 and ask for publication 80-1088. This is the 2006 edition of the book, which has a red cover, so many of you may still have this book. The small spiral bound handbook is item number 80-1484.

Greetings ISOMS Members:
Program Reminder —
The biannual ACLS Training and Certification program will be held on the weekend of February 27 and 28 at The Hyatt Lodge, in the Hamburger University Complex, across the pond from 'The Lodge', in Oak Brook. It was in the same location in 2008. Please respond as soon as you can so we can estimate the number of attendees as accurately as possible, and staff can be booked accordingly. We have 61 people registered to date.
There are still some rooms available for Friday and/or Saturday nights at The Lodge at a reduced rate ($89 for single or double occupancy) if you mention the ISOMS group. Reservations should be made by calling the hotel at 630-568-1234. The toll-free number is 800-233-1234. The cut-off date is Feb. 5, 2010.
We anticipate the training and testing ending by 12:30 PM on Sunday, based on past experience. We have hired Doug Miller and his staff from "ACES" — the same group we have used for the past three consecutive programs. Feedback has been entirely positive for this group of educators.
Questions? Let us hear from you.
