- References should be more related to practice guidelines and not clinical trials. We want to make sure that the presentation is clear on how to diagnose and treat PE related to current standards of practice. See below some links that may help.

- Often times a hematologist will be consulted to see a patient with newly diagnosed DVT or PE. This would be a good source to reference from the American Society of Hematology.
- Add 2 slides to the outline:
- Comparison of prior standards for diagnosing and treating PEs. Remember our audience will be practitioners in practice with 20+ years and novice practitioners.
- Populations for Special Considerations for treating PEs
- What happens if a patient cannot be treated with Heparin, etc? The standard treatments.
- Are there special considerations for cancer patients, older adults, etc.
- Add treatment education for patients.
