There are few cities around with as much to do as
you’ll find in Memphis. Music is still the street’s
main attraction. In fact, Beale Street has been
cited as second only to Bourbon Street as the
best entertainment district in America. No trip to
Memphis would be complete without a visit to Graceland, Elvis’ 14-acre estate.
The area today also offers a fascinating collection of shops, restaurants,
nightspots, theaters, and parks. Explore A. Schwab’s, the Beale Street Substation
Police Museum, the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, or the Center for
Southern Folklore. Memphis shopping offers everything from big-name national
chains to boutiques, antiques, local artists treasures, and one-of-a-kind
gifts. From a five-star French masterpiece to hole-in-the-wall barbecue joints
and nationally known fusion restaurants, travel writers regularly remark that
there is a surprising share of remarkable dining offerings. Don’t let Memphis’
legendary reputation for nightlife overshadow the city’s scores of remarkable
family activities. From the educational attractions that give a vivid glimpse
of important American history to the acclaimed zoo or the long list of places
that are just plain fun, Memphis is a memorable treat for tourists of all ages.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This course is designed for Physicians, CRNAs, Physician Assistants, Registered Nurses,
and other medical care providers who must maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of not
only the specialty, but also of all additional related disciplines which may impact it.
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.
