Monterey highlights everything that’s best about
California. Take a drive down Highway One,
winding along the breathtaking Big Sur coastline,
and experience the top road trip in the
United States. Wander through Big Sur’s redwood
groves or sip handcrafted wines at tuckedaway
tasting rooms where the winemaker might
just be the person pouring. Take a surfing lesson
or experience the wonders of the Monterey
Bay National Marine Sanctuary by scuba diving,
kayaking, or by glass bottom boat. Play eighteen
holes at legendary golf courses or just hang out
at the nineteenth hole and watch the pros practice.
See the amazing Monterey Bay Aquarium,
as well as Fisherman’s Wharf and Cannery Row,
made legendary by famous Salinas writer John
Steinbeck, or go art gallery hopping in beautiful
Carmel-by-the-Sea or buzzing Sand City. For an
outdoor experience hike the wild trails of Big Sur
or watch the hang gliders in Marina and Seaside.
Dine in centrally located Del Rey Oaks, relaxing
in an old-fashioned, seaside home town among
the Victorian cottages and Monarch butterflies of
Pacific Grove. An abundance of locally procured
ingredients and a year round growing season set
the stage for truly unforgettable dining, noshing,
and wanton sampling. Wherever you find interesting
food in this area, you’re going to find great wine. The viticulture in the area
is world-renowned and makes every meal an opportunity to challenge even the
most refined olfactory skills and palates.

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.
