Destin has grown from a historic fishing village to a premiere resort destination. The city sits along
the coast in the Florida Panhandle, at the end of a peninsula separating Choctawhatchee Bay from the
Gulf of Mexico. The area is famous for its emerald-colored waters and sugar-white sand beaches,
hence the nickname "Emerald Coast". Visit the Village of Baytowne Wharf in the Sandestin Resort
for shopping, dining, and exciting nightlife. The Market Shops and Silver Sands Factory Outlet Stores,
both nearby, offer more shopping. Why not try Big Kahuna Water Park, just a short drive away or if
you're willing to travel a little farther, check out the Ebro Dog Track for greyhound racing. Eden State
Gardens and Mansion is a perfect place to enjoy the beautiful scenery and perhaps a picnic. Make a
trip to the Harborwalk Marina at the foot of the Destin bridge where you can rent a slip or chat with
fishermen to perhaps pick up a few deep sea fishing secrets. Climb aboard a chartered fishing or party
boat or simply lounge on the beach.
Destin can be accessed by arriving in the following airports:
Okaloosa County Air Terminal (approx. 35 min drive); Northwest Florida Regional Airport (approx.
45 min drive); Pensacola Regional Municipal Airport (approx. 1 hr drive); Panama City Airport
(approx. 1-1/2 hr drive).

Wharf; a short drive from Eden State Park, Gulfarium, and Destin Fishing Docks; and midway between

PROGRAM PURPOSE
The practitioner of anesthesiology must possess the scientific background for clinical practice;
maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of not only the specialty, but also of all additional
related disciplines which may impact it; maintain an up-to-the-minute armamentarium
of knowledge and skills for the selection and use of complex equipment, pharmacological
agents, and procedures necessary for the provision of quality patient care; manage self and
colleagues to function toward common goals in the clinical setting, the clinical and educational
institutions, and the community in which the practice resides; serve as an expert in
matters involving health care delivery; serve as an informed manager of clinical and educational
services provided, including the acquisition and distribution of resources necessary
in meeting professional goals; and provide assistance with and support of other service
providers, departments, institutions, and organizations dependent upon the professional
expertise of the practitioner. Presentations are designed to facilitate the physician, nurse
specialist, and other providers maintaining skills of the same kind to review and update
knowledge and abilities in one or more of these areas vital to the practicing professional.
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to: Apply the pertinent physical and behavioral sciences - to include but not be limited to
advanced anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and
social sciences - as they impact and are affected by the planning, delivery, and monitoring
of anesthesia and related services inherent in the anesthesia professions. Explain the selection, dosing considerations with methods of administration, safe use,
and contraindications and precautions of presented pharmacological agents through the
understanding of their physico-chemical properties, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics,
updated uses, and more recently developed additional, related, and similar drugs. Outline comprehensive management plans for the group of patients discussed, whether
related in age, physical status, cultural background, invasive procedure, anesthetic or analgesic
requirements, clinical setting, adverse reactions, and/or goals of care. Apply the principles of safety and asepsis in the performance of anesthetic procedures and
administrations, equipment use, and other applications encountered during the provision
of anesthesia and analgesia whether in the surgical unit, the labor and delivery suite, the
pain management clinic, or other more remote location of anesthetizing services. Incorporate the appropriate recommendations and/or requirements of pertinent external
organizations, institutions, and professional groups - recognized as serving as the authority
for and/or holding the responsibility to compile and approve such tenets - in the
provision of anesthesia and related services, whether medical, legal, philosophical, ethical,
or health care management standards. Apply the new techniques in the clinical setting of the participant.
