Point Clear, Alabama

The Gulf Coast of Alabama is steeped in history. Here numerous museums, forts, and historical parks dot the landscape, just waiting to share their secrets. Visitors can satisfy a passion for golf on challenging courses, launch a sailboat or cruiser from one of many marinas and launch sites, fish, or keep fit with tennis, swimming, or horseback riding. Be sure to stroll the Eastern Shore Trailblazers trail that winds 33 miles throughout the Eastern Shore all the way to Weeks Bay to experience an abundance of wildlife and the beauty of State Champion trees, wild flowers, and landscaped beds blooming year round.

The main attraction here is miles of sparkling turquoise Gulf waters and stunningly white sand that’s so soft it squeaks under your feet. You’ll find a variety of public beaches each special in its own way and each offering a different experience. Shopping along the Eastern Shore is truly an exclusive experience where you can find unique clothing, home furnishings, native crafts, antiques, and collectibles. Year-round cultural activities include live theatre productions, fine art exhibitions, and concerts.

History buffs will not be disappointed - the region’s small towns have museums dedicated to their fascinating history. Near Mobile, be sure to visit Battleship Memorial Park, America’s most unique military attraction. Prepare your imagination for takeoff as you walk the flight line of the historic aircraft inside the huge Aircraft Pavilion. Experience life the way it was over seven decades ago on one of America’s most decorated Battleships, the U.S.S. Alabama and the submarine USS DRUM, a World War II veteran with 12 Battle Stars.

When it’s time to eat, sample fresh seafood, Creole and Southern favorites, innovative café cuisine, and ethnic delicacies served by the area’s diverse restaurants.

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.
