9/2/2011 - The Northern New England Poison Center (NNEPS) is offering recorded webinar presentations regarding the new synthetic drugs known as "bath salts."

The webinar is a slide and audio presentation recorded by Dr. Karen Simone, NNEPC Director, and Dr. Tamas Peredy, NNEPC Medical Director.

The presentation is available for viewing at any time. It can be accessed through the NNEPC website or directly.

The presentation is given in two parts. The first is a general overview of bath salts appropriate for all audiences. The second is aimed at health care professionals and gives information related to treating bath salts patients.

NNEPC is currently able to offer continuing education credits for Maine and New Hampshire EMS personnel for the bath salts recorded webinar. NNEPC expects to be able to offer other types of continuing education credits in the near future.
