Anesthesiology Conferences, Meetings, and CME

This conference aims to highlight the shift in guidelines and public concern regarding the use of opioids in medical practice. The conference provides the most up-to-date information regarding the appropriate indication for opioids in clinical practice. Topics cover the basics of opioid pharmacology and selection, evidence-based guidelines for opioid management, and opioid tapering, as well as medical and interventional alternatives to opioids. In addition, the conference covers a broad range of issues, including opioid use disorder and difficult patient conversations and guidelines to standardize the practice of opioid prescribing. The format includes lectures by experts in the field of pain medicine and opioid management as well as question and answer sessions.

This program is a multi-level educational initiative that equips healthcare professionals with essential skills to manage mechanical ventilation effectively. Through evidence-based practices, standardized methodologies, and a structured learning pathway, SEVA caters to learners at various levels, from students to critical care physicians. Combining online modules, hands-on training, and simulations, the program builds core competencies in ventilator management, troubleshooting, and goal-directed strategies to improve patient outcomes and care quality in critical care settings. The program offers 3 certification levels (1-day Fundamental; 2-day Advanced; 3-day Master), each integrating online and in-person components to provide a comprehensive learning experience. The online portion is included in all certification levels and must be completed prior to attending in-person sessions. Additionally, a standalone online course is available for independent learners; however, it does not provide certification.

This course will explore basic and cutting-edge imaging techniques to improve patient care and hone individual skills in performance and interpretation of echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, cardiac computed tomography, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.

Following a series of lectures, case studies are presented for group discussions. Lectures include: Initial Assessment & Management, Airway Management and Smoke Inhalation Injury, Shock & Fluid Resuscitation, Burn Wound Management, Electrical Injury, Chemical Burns, Pediatric Burn Injuries, Stabilization, Transfer & Transport, Disaster Management and the ABA Plan. Participants will also have the opportunity to work with a simulated burn patient to reinforce the assessment, stabilization, and applying the American Burn Association transfer criteria to a Burn Center. Testing consists of a written exam and a practical assessment.

This course is designed for health care providers who either direct or participate in the resuscitation of a patient, in or out of the hospital setting. Participants will be able to manage cardiorespiratory emergencies by using the systematic ACLS guidelines of the American Heart Association (AHA). This includes how to evaluate and manage a sudden adult respiratory arrest, VF/VT arrest, asystole, pulseless electrical activity, bradycardias, stable and unstable tachycardias, acute coronary syndromes and acute stroke.

This classroom-based, instructor-led course uses a series of simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a PALS Provider Course Completion eCard, which is valid for 2 years.

This course is tailored specifically for clinicians practicing in the ER, ICU and hospital wards. The course provides valuable insights and hands-on experience to enhance participants' expertise. Participants will have exclusive online access to the collection of 23 lecture modules covering a range of didactic material, including lectures and procedural videos. Before scheduled hands-on skills lab session, it is imperative to complete these modules. Then there will be an intensive hands-on procedural training session spanning 10 hours per day. This session will focus on simulation-driven training entirely centered on hands-on procedural skills training within a group ratio of 6 participants to 1 procedural expert instructor (6:1). Participants will benefit from tailored and immersive instructions.

This seminar is designed for medical care providers who must maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of the EKG or are impacted by it. The program is designed to update participants with the latest information on challenges to interpret the EKG as well as treat underlying conduction disturbances. Participants will review the 12-lead EKG system, dipole concept, the predicted morphology of the EKG waveforms, and options for lead placement; define the EKG criteria for diagnosing myocardial ischemia, injury, infarction, axis deviation, bundle branch blocks, and fascicular blocks; review the recommended placement of limb and chest leads for recording the 12-lead EKG and for continuous monitoring the EKG in the OR, PACU, ICU and ED; apply the criteria for the diagnosis of EKG changes associated with pathophysiology.

This intensive training course covers essential training and competency-building in infection prevention and control (IPC) for healthcare professionals in acute care. Participants will learn evidence-based best practices to develop an effective IPC program to protect patients, reduce risk, and comply with accrediting and regulatory requirements.
