| LOCATION: | GRAND TETON, JACKSON HOLE, WY |
| Towering more than a mile above the valley known as Jackson Hole, the Grand Teton rises to 13,770 feet above sea level. Grand Tetons National Park and the John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Memorial Parkway offer a variety of activities from traditional mountain park hiking, wildlife viewing, photography, camping, climbing, swimming, boating, floating, canoeing, and biking. FISHING Where can you fly fish for native cutthroats, enjoy some of the best scenery our country has to offer, and view eagles soaring while drifting on a great river? On the Snake River. Flowing gently in front of the majestic Teton Mountains, the Snake River winds through the Jackson Hole Valley, home of the famous native Snake River Cutthroat trout. The Snake River is relatively large and swift throughout its entire course. This is one of the few places left in the United States where you can catch wild native trout in a truly spectacular environment. The Snake is often called the best fly fishing river for beginning fly fishermen. Cutthroat trout take dry flies quite readily, even an absolute beginner can catch trout on his/her first outing. The preferred method for fly fishing is via driftboats, providing access to much more of the river than would otherwise be possible on foot. September is considered the single best month for fishing the Snake. One of the best things about trout fishing are the places it takes you, and as all good trout fishermen know, fishing is about more than catching fish. If you are not into fishing, don't worry. This area has superior wildlife-viewing opportunities, especially early or late in the day. Expect to see a variety of waterfowl, fresh moose, deer, and elk tracks, beaver, and birds of all kinds. | |

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, 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.
