Among the 8,128 continuing medical education courses available this year, doctors can choose such seminars as a five-day sports medicine conclave at Honolulu's Princess Kaiulani Hotel, or a three-day course in "Management of the Acute Cardiac Patient" at Chicago's not so glamorous Cook County Hospital.
