The course is designed to realistically recreate challenging clinical cases to allow participants to problemsolve in a manner that is similar to actual clinical experience. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: Demonstrate knowledge of fire triangle, risk factors, mitigation, response to fire, prevention, team communication to prevent; pre-use anesthesia machine check; differential of PACU hypotension and desaturation; effective communication across the operative team during crisis/adverse event; prioritize and management of anaphylaxis in the operating room.

This course is tailored specifically for clinicians practicing in the ER, ICU and hospital wards. The course provides valuable insights and hands-on experience to enhance participants' expertise. Participants will have exclusive online access to the collection of 23 lecture modules covering a range of didactic material, including lectures and procedural videos. Before scheduled hands-on skills lab session, it is imperative to complete these modules. Then there will be an intensive hands-on procedural training session spanning 10 hours per day. This session will focus on simulation-driven training entirely centered on hands-on procedural skills training within a group ratio of 6 participants to 1 procedural expert instructor (6:1). Participants will benefit from tailored and immersive instructions.

This 1-day course fulfills Part IV requirement of the American Board of Anesthesiologists (ABA) Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA) Program. The participants will actively manage realistic simulation scenarios that demonstrate clinical and technical skills as well as teamwork and communication. The participant to instructor ratio will not exceed 4:1. Those participants without prior simulation experience will receive a thorough introduction to the simulators, facility and equipment before beginning any scenarios. After a customized orientation, the participants will have an opportunity to manage critical perioperative events in a simulated clinical environment. Each participant is guaranteed to play the primary role in at least one scenario. Each scenario will be immediately followed by a video-aided debriefing that will include review of the relevant clinical and technical actions as well as the examples of team dynamics and communication skills.

This symposium offers a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art echocardiography, cardiac CT, and MRI for a wide variety of cardiovascular disorders. The organizers will emphasize new technologies and how to use imaging information for the care of patients. Integration of echo, CT, and MRI and their incremental value in clinical cardiology will be highlighted. An additional focus will be on the role of 2-D and 3-D echocardiography in guiding interventional therapies. There will be live scanning of patients with various CV disorders - this session will emphasize the importance of comprehensive echocardiographic acquisition and management decision based on echocardiographic data.

This conference aims to provide participants with the latest updates, innovations, and practical techniques to advance their anesthesia practice. Through a combination of lectures, case studies, and discussion with faculty/peers, participants will gain valuable insights and skills to help in the provision of safe, effective anesthesia care.

This classroom-based, instructor-led course uses a series of simulated pediatric emergencies to reinforce the important concepts of a systematic approach to pediatric assessment, basic life support, treatment algorithms, effective resuscitation, and team dynamics. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a PALS Provider Course Completion eCard, which is valid for 2 years.

This course is for participants that have a current PALS and BLS certification from the American Heart Association. Both BLS and PALS current certification cards must be verified by the CMH AHA Training Center prior to class. The Pediatric Advanced Life Support Program (PALS) was created in cooperation with the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics to assist the health care provider to recognize early signs of pedaitric and infant distress and intervene to prevent respiratory and cardiopulmonary arrest. In addition, the course is designed to enhance cognitive and psychomotor skills needed to resuscitate and stabilize critically ill infants and children. The format includes videos, skill stations, interactive sessions and self-study. The skill stations and interactive scenario teaching stations utilize small-group personalized learning settings.

This conference is designed for medical care providers who must maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of the critical care specialty or are impacted by it. The program aims to provide participants with the latest updates and advancements in critical care, enhancing their clinical skills and knowledge to optimize patient outcomes. Through a combination of lectures, case studies, and discussion with faculty/peers, participants will learn about the latest evidence-based guidelines and best practices for managing critically ill patients.

Since its establishment in 1990, this conference has set the bar for quality education, breaking research, and networking. This is participants' opportunity to connect with the leaders in pain management. With a world-class program committee, unrivaled keynote speakers, and dynamic presentations, the conference presents the latest information in pain management and has become a forum to discuss the treatment of pain, establish best practices, learn and review emerging treatment options.

This course provides participants a strong foundation to perform and/or interpret the core and advanced ultrasound applications in an emergency setting as outlined in the most recent American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) & Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) ultrasound practice guidelines. In this 5-day program, participants will learn ultrasound techniques for the entire emergency medicine & critical care specialty. The course is taught by leading critical care and emergency medicine ultrasound experts and incorporates comprehensive lectures, interactive case presentations, system optimization and needle guidance sessions. Extensive hands-on scanning sessions feature a 3:1 participant to faculty ratio with live standardized patient models and inanimate phantoms to allow the participant to immediately integrate the skills learned into clinical practice. Each participant also receives scanning checklists for reference purposes and a case log of exams performed that may be used for point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) certification and hospital credentialing purposes.
