Memphis, Tennessee

There are few cities with as much to do as you’ll find in Memphis. Music is still the city’s main attraction. In fact, Beale Street has been cited as second only to Bourbon Street as the best entertainment district in America. No trip to Memphis would be complete without a visit to Graceland, Elvis’ 14-acre estate.

The area today also offers a fascinating collection of shops, restaurants, nightspots, theaters, and parks. Explore A. Schwab’s, the Beale Street Substation Police Museum, the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, or the Center for Southern Folklore. Memphis shopping offers everything from big-name national chains to boutiques, antiques, local artists treasures, and one-of-a-kind gifts. From a five-star French masterpiece to hole-in-the-wall barbecue joints and nationally known fusion restaurants, travel writers regularly remark that there is a surprising share of remarkable dining offerings.

Don’t let Memphis’ legendary reputation for nightlife overshadow the city’s scores of remarkable family activities. From the educational attractions that give a vivid glimpse of important American history to the acclaimed zoo or the long list of places that are just plain fun, Memphis is a memorable treat for tourists of all ages.

The Peabody Memphis

In the heart of “Blues City,” you’ll find The Peabody Memphis, a magnificent Forbes Four-Star, AAA Four-Diamond historic hotel, located just blocks from Memphis attractions like Beale Street, the Memphis Rock N Soul Museum, Gibson Guitar Factory, Fed-Ex Forum, National Civil Rights Museum, Sun Studio, Orpheum Theatre, and the Memphis Cook Convention Center.

The Peabody itself is also one of Memphis’ most popular attractions. The Peabody Ducks march to and from the Grand Lobby daily at 11am and 5pm in a time-honored tradition dating back to 1933. Legendary, charming, elegant, and grand are adjectives that perfectly describe this luxury Memphis hotel. Enjoy the heated indoor pool and day spa, fun shops, and award-winning dining.

Guest rooms feature amenities such as flat screen television, hairdryer, bathrobe, iron/board, in-room safe, and more. Memphis International Airport (MEM) is just 15 minutes from The Peabody.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is designed for physicians, certified registered nurse anesthetists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and other medical care providers who must maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of the anesthesia specialty or are impacted by 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 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.

Apply the new techniques in the clinical setting of the participant.
