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, 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.

NWAS, Inc. is going green! The environment takes a heavy hit with our syllabus: Over 8 tons of paper, toner cartridges and shipping. We are interested in doing our part to help. Therefore as of January 1, 2008, NWAS will replace the printed course syllabus for our seminars with a CD containing the lectures in PDF format, making it easier for participants to search for items of interest at home. If you would prefer to receive a printed syllabus after returning home, we will be happy to provide one to you for a nominal fee.
