Kimpton Armory Hotel Bozeman

Indulge in the ultimate urban experience at Kimpton Armory Hotel Bozeman. Located in the heart of downtown, this luxurious hotel is a destination like no other. Originally designed by the renowned Bozeman architect, Fred Fielding Willson, and built in 1941 to house the Bozeman National Guard, the landmark Armory building is a timeless example of Art Deco design. Its rich past has been lovingly preserved, while the hotel's new look and feel fuse the ruggedly handsome with the tastefully modern, drawing inspiration from the natural panorama of the region itself.

The hotel's prime location makes it perfect for exploring downtown Bozeman's wide-ranging delights. Just outside the front doors, you'll find yourself steps away from Main Street, the city's buzzy thoroughfare. The fresh air and idyllic mountain setting lend a rustic splendor to Downtown's supremely walkable streets. Whether you're in the mood for fine dining, casual bites, unique shops, galleries, or museums, Downtown Bozeman's down-home western charm and vibrant cultural scene will make for an urban experience unlike any other.

Kimpton Armory Hotel Bozeman offers a range of amenities that aim to please. Work up a sweat at the 24-hour fitness center with Pelotons, or take a dip in the heated rooftop infinity pool with stunning views of the Bridger mountain range. The hotel provides loaner bikes for exploring the city, complimentary during your stay. Signature Kimpton Perks include complimentary morning coffee and an evening social hour from 5pm-6pm every night.

Indulge in a culinary adventure at the hotel's three dining venues. Fielding's offers a casual, upscale dining experience with Americana fare for breakfast and dinner. Tune Up is a lively spot with high-energy local music, classic cocktails, and tasty small bites. Sky Shed is their signature rooftop bar and lounge offering amazing views of the mountain ranges that surround Bozeman.

Retreat to your essential guest room featuring 1 King or 2 Queen beds (based on hotel availability), Illy's coffee station, mini-bar with exquisite local favorites, premium Bluetooth speaker, LCD SmartTV, yoga mat, robes, Atelier Bloem bath amenities, and more to ensure a relaxing stay.

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 healthcare provider in reviewing, updating, and/or expanding 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.
