DESCRIPTION:Program Name: New Course in San Diego, CA! Ultrasound for 
 Critical Care and Advanced Emergency Applications\nStart Date: 02/09/2
 011\nEnd Date: 02/11/2011\nAMA Cat. 1 CME Credits: 24.0\nOther CME Cre
 dits: --\nAdvanced Registration: $1,799.00\nRegular Registration: $1,8
 39.00\nLocation: Se San Diego Hotel, San Diego CA\nAddress: 1047 5th A
 venue\nSan Diego, CA 92101\n\n\nThe Advanced Registration fee is honor
 ed if payment is made/postmarked 21 days or more prior to the beginnin
 g date of the program.\n\nOf special interest: This course offers gene
 ral sessions plus specialty break-out groups.\n\nCourse Description:\n
 \nThe objective of this program is to educate emergency and critical c
 are physicians on how to utilize ultrasound as a diagnostic tool to vi
 sualize common pathology as well as how to perform various ultrasound-
 guided procedures. Break-out group sessions will concentrate on specia
 lty-specific topics. The strong hands-on component of this course and 
 its low participant-to-instructor ratio offer ample time scanning on a
  variety of live models.\n\nCourse Objectives:\nAt the completion of t
 his program, the participant should be able to:\n\n1. Discuss the basi
 c fundamentals of ultrasound physics/instrumentation and recognize ima
 ge artifacts.\n2. Demonstrate the operation of the ultrasound system c
 ontrols and transducer selection.\n3. Perform routine scan protocols f
 or evaluation of the abdomen, lower extremity DVT, and adult heart.\n4
 . Recognize normal/abnormal image characteristics of the abdomen, thor
 ax, lower extremity venous system, and adult heart.\n5. Recognize norm
 al cardiac structures and identify ultrasound findings associated with
  cardiomyopathy, pericardial effusion, cardiogenic shock, dissection, 
 and other hypotensive conditions.\n6. Describe image orientation, tran
 sducer preparation, and scan protocols for performing use of ultrasoun
 d guidance in the placement of peripheral and central venous lines and
  arterial catheters.\n7. Demonstrate ultrasound applications in the ev
 aluation of the critically ill unstable patient.\n8. Explain the use o
 f ultrasound guidance for performing thoracentesis, pericardiocentesis
  and endotracheal tube placement.\n9. Describe image orientation, tran
 sducer placement, and scan protocols for performing ultrasound for lun
 g imaging and evaluation of Pneumothorax.\n10. Explain techniques for 
 evaluating soft tissue/limited MSK, and testicular examinations (EM tr
 ack only).\n11. Recognize ultrasound characteristics associated with G
 YN pathology (EM track only)\n12. Apply the information discussed in a
  clinical setting (ideally under supervised conditions) until an accep
 table level of proficiency and appropriate hospital credentialing has 
 been achieved.\n\nCourse Topics:\n\n• Imaging Fundamentals Overview:

 e, intensivists, pulmonologists, trauma, and emergency medicine physic
 ians who will be involved with performing and interpreting ultrasound 
 exams. Also, internal medicine and family practice physicians may atte
 nd. Advanced sonographers and physician assistants also welcome.\n\nFa
