 asound Institute, Inc.\nAddress: 4615 Gulf Blvd. Ste 205\nSt. Pete Bea
 ch, FL 33706\n\nThe Advanced Registration fee is honored if payment is
  made/postmarked 21 days or more prior to the beginning date of the pr
 ogram.\n\nCourse Objectives:\nAt the completion of this program, the p
 articipant should be able to:\n\n1. Discuss the basic fundamentals of 
 ultrasound physics/instrumentation and recognize image artifacts.\n2. 
 Demonstrate the operation of the ultrasound system controls and transd
 ucer selection.\n3. Recognize normal/abnormal image characteristics of
  the abdomen, thorax (including lung and pneumothorax), upper and lowe
 r extremity venous system, and adult heart.\n4. Perform routine scan p
 rotocols for evaluation of the abdomen, venous system of the lower and
  upper extremities, thorax (including lung & pneumothorax), and adult 
 heart.\n5. Describe image orientation, transducer preparation, and sca
 n protocols for performing use of ultrasound guidance in the placement
  of peripheral and central venous lines and arterial catheters.\n6. De
 monstrate ultrasound applications in the evaluation of the critically 
 ill unstable patient.\n7. Explain the use of ultrasound guidance for p
 erforming thoracentesis, pericardiocentesis and endotracheal tube plac
 ement.\n8. Describe image orientation, transducer placement, and scan 
 protocols for performing ultrasound for lung imaging and evaluation of
  pneumothorax.\n9. Increase knowledge and confidence to perform and/or
  interpret critical care ultrasound examinations.\n10. Apply the infor
 mation discussed in a clinical setting, under supervised conditions un
 til an acceptable level of proficiency and appropriate hospital creden
 tialing has been achieved.\n\nCourse Topics:\n\n• Imaging fundamenta

 rocedures/Misc.\n• Credentialing and reimbursement\n• Hands-on ses
 sions: Cardiac/Abdomen/Venous/Procedures/ Vascular access (phantoms)\n
 \nWho Can Attend?\n\nCritical care, intensivists, pulmonologists, trau
 ma, & emergency medicine physicians who will be involved with performi
 ng & interpreting ultrasound exams. Also, internal medicine and family
  practice physicians may attend. Advanced sonographers and PAs also we
 lcome.\n\nFaculty:\nChristian Butcher, MD, FCCP\nCharlotte Derr, MD, R
 DMS, FACEP\nAlexander B. Levitov, MD, FCCM, RDCS\nCorky Hecht, BA, RDM
 S, RDCS, RVT, RT (N)\n\nThe Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute is accredit
 ed by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to pr
 ovide continuing medical education for physicians.\n\nThe Gulfcoast Ul
 trasound Institute designates this educational activity for a maximum 
 of 24.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should only claim 
 credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the acti
 vity.\n\nApproved by the American College of Emergency Physicians for 
 22.25 hours of ACEP Category I credit.\n\nThis course also meets CME/C
 EU requirements for ARDMS. Note: While offering the CME credit hours n
 oted above, activities are not intended to provide extensive training 
 or certification for exam performance or interpretation.\n\nFor more i
