NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Immerse yourself in New York City for
five minutes and you’ll see why it’s like
no other place on earth. Only here will
you find all of America’s best attributes
– the diversity, culture, and style – intensified
in such an intriguing way. If you’re
a first-time visitor, come see the Empire
State and Chrysler Buildings, the Statue
of Liberty, Rockefeller Center, Times
Square, the Bronx Zoo, Staten Island
Ferry, Brooklyn Bridge, and all the other
world-famous attractions. If you’ve
been here before, there’s always another
neighborhood to explore, another restaurant
to try, another Broadway show
or museum to see, another don’t-miss
cultural performance or sporting event.
In Brooklyn, you can enjoy taking a roller
coaster ride, visiting the beach, seeing
a dolphin show at Coney Island, or exploring
one of the world’s best Egyptian
collections at the Brooklyn Museum of
Art. The Bronx has more parkland than
any of the other boroughs, a renowned
botanical garden, a world-famous zoo,
stately mansions, historic sites, a ‘Little
Italy’, beaches, and City Island, an island
reminiscent of a New England
fishing village. Don’t forget to include a
trip aboard the free Staten Island Ferry.
The excursion from the tip of Manhattan
cruises through New York Harbor past the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and
Governors Island, allowing an unobstructed view of lower Manhattan. Visit the
Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, which is one of only two Himalayanstyle,
monastery buildings in the Western world, and the only one in the United
States. The Chinese Scholar’s Garden at the Staten Island Botanical Garden is the
only authentic one of its kind in the country. Shoppers can discover it all in New
York City—from bargain bazaars to luxury boutiques to major department stores
and more. And no New York trip would be complete without a visit to a variety of
world-famous New York City restaurants.

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

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.
