Duck Key, Florida
Ditch city life and head for the islands of the Lower Keys. Snorkel and dive over the Looe Key coral reef, bike through Key Deer country, or take a fishing excursion in the back country. At Marathon’s Crane Point, visitors can hike through a perfectly preserved tropical hardwood grove and visit the home of an early 20th Century settler family. Marathon’s natural environment has activities for everyone including sailing, fishing, diving, snorkeling, scuba, and more.
Sombrero Reef, a federally protected section of the United States’ only living coral barrier reef, lies just a few miles offshore. Discover the island’s impeccably maintained Sombrero Beach and a host of eco-attractions and marine-based environmental programs such as turtle encounters. Beyond that are the deep blue waters of the Florida Straits, which host world-class wreck diving on artificial reefs. Hawks Cay Island Resort, located midway down the Florida Keys on the secluded 60 acre island of Duck Key, offers excellent fishing, water sports, dolphin interaction programs, five gorgeous swimming pools, and luxurious accommodations. Plan a vacation with your family and friends where you can dine in exquisite restaurants and relax in a full-service spa, while kids and teens have fun, all in the casual, relaxed pace of the Keys.
Daily flights are offered into nearby Miami (90 miles), Fort Lauderdale (130 miles), and Key West (60 miles) International airports. Having a rental car is advised. For those who prefer to travel via water, Hawks Cay can easily be reached via the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico and offers a full-service marina, with dockage for vessels up to 110 feet.
Hawks Cay Resort
Hawks Cay has a long history of honors, including being named as one of the Top 10 Resorts in Florida Keys – 2021 Reader's Choice Awards Conde' Nast, among others. Hawks Cay Resort is the only resort in the continental United States that features an on-site dolphin research facility, with a variety of educational and exciting programs for adults, children, and the entire family to enjoy. Located just a few miles from the dock are the only living coral reefs in the continental United States, the strong Gulfstream currents, the fish-filled waters of Everglades National Park, and many productive local flats and bridges.
Hawks Cay Marina features knowledgeable and friendly Florida Keys fishing captains and guides and a complete fleet of both charter boats, rides, and rentals to accommodate anglers and water lovers of all ages and skill levels. The resort also offers plenty of activities for little ones, tweens, and teens. For adults, the Calm Waters Spa offers locally-influenced treatments and therapies that utilize the natural ingredients and aromas of the islands. You'll also find a salon services, a modern fitness center, and Cliff Drysdale Tennis®. When its time to dine, the restaurants at Hawks Cay embrace the true flavor of the islands and you're never more than a short stroll from your next meal or cool drink. Enjoy a romantic dinner at Sixty-One Prime, a cozy glass of wine by the fire pit or a toes-in-the-sand lunch at Oasis Cay or sit back and relax dockside as you savor some of the Key's favorite dishes or bring your own catch for a Hook and Cook meal. Guest rooms provide a laid-back tropical setting where you can relax, sip a cool drink and bury your worries in the sand. All rooms feature amenities such as premium bedding, bathrobes, flat screen TV, mini-fridge, safe and more.

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.
