All Jacked Up-Session 3-January 31st 1300-1400 Hours
“All Jacked Up” will hit home with almost all of the audience. This not just an educational talk about the effects of energy drinks on our patients. This is also a talk about how it affects YOU!

Let’s find out as we go through the physiologic effects of the drinks/supplements and how to mitigate them appropriately.
